Feminazi, man-hater, whiney; we’ve all heard it. This is how feminists are typically presented in today’s society. Feminists aren’t taken seriously. We’re taken as a joke, the punchline to a knock-knock joke that everyone’s laughing at. But why? Is our goal that laughable? All we are looking for is to be treated as equals. To be treated as people too.
In a world like today, where women earn 77 cents to the dollar that men earn, why are we assured that there is NO inequality anymore? “Women got their equal rights back in the 1920s,” we’re told. “We gave you voting rights, don’t try to take more than you deserve.” Is that all that makes up human rights? The right to vote? Granted, its a very good start and here in the United States it’s more than many are allowed. However, it just isn’t enough.
My goal with this blog is to share my own view on gender equality while also attempting to inform others about the reality of issue. I will try to add my voice to the collective shout from women across the world for this issue to be noticed. I will attempt to influence how the average feminist is viewed and I will try to explain why feminism isn’t so bad.
Feminism Isn't So Bad
