When you let the cat lady out of the bag
Tuesday 14th April
29th day under lockdown
Recently I read a few books on a subject that I think very interesting and important: FEMINISM.
Before I write anything else, let me clear a popular misunderstanding: feminist are NOT man haters. Hysterical women ? NO. Killers ? NO. Lesbians ? Some are, some aren’t. All girls ? Last time I checked, men perfectly can be feminists. On their period ? SERIOUSLY ?!
Actually, most people in the world are feminists even without knowing it. The only way of not being a feminist is to specifically think that women are inferior to men. And that’s called being a jerk.
So why is it called feminism and not equalism or humanism ? Well first of all, humanism is already taken for another cause. And the "fem" bit is important too because it’s women’s rights that need to be fought for to attain equality. That doesn’t mean boys can’t face sexism too ! If I was banned from crying or dressing in pink because of my gender, it honestly would be getting on my nerves.
So yeah, women can’t be good at sport, can’t be satisfied with being single, can’t be as strong as a man, can’t be bad at cooking, needs a boyfriend to protect her, can’t have a political opinion, can’t be ambitious, can’t actually not be interested in boys, can’t dress like they want, can’t... I’m going to say one thing: AHAHA NOPE !!!
Well, writing about this is going to be fun.
