Gender Inequality

What scares me the most about our world is that I need feminism, and I'm only 15. It scares me that girls as young as 6 or 7 years old get raped. It scares me that women are not believed when they report rape. We are expected to cover up our bodies, let me interrupt us, and that we get cat-called.

It angers me I'm expected to buy make-up, clothes, sanitary products ect., when I'm being paid less to begin with. It angers me that our world even needs a #metoo movement, just so that women can be heard.

It confuses me that men give their opinions about breastfeeding, menstruation, abortions, women that wear provocative clothing, how much skin we should be allowed to show, when they don't have anything to do with it. I've come to realise that many men are only okay with a woman's breast showing if it's for male pleasure, but as soon as she breastfeeds in public it's wrong, because what pleasure does it bring for a man? And yes, some women do sexualise a man's muscles, but men are never told to cover up because it's indecent. They're never told that it's wrong to show so much skin, and are never called things like "sluts" or "whores" for showimg so much skin.

I need feminism, because men are constantly forced to fit into a certain image, just like women. Their bodies are scrutinized over. Boys are expected to give up their seats to a girl, not to show any emotions regarding sensitivity, and not to cry.

From a very young age, I was told to cover my body because older men will stare. Guys are never told to look away from a woman wearing provocative clothing, but the woman should cover up instead.

I've been told to lower my boundaries about where I'm comfortable being touched since I was 10. I've been asked to send nudes, been told jokes about being raped. I've heard sexual comments from older guys, despite saying no. I've been asked why I'm at school, when girls should be in the kitchen. Whenever I speak up about gender inequality, I'm considered rude, and that "men wil be uncomfortable with it".

It scares me that I've been sexually harassed since the age of 10. It scares me that i should cover my body, and stay quiet about inequality. I've been told that I should always be vigilant, because who knows how many murderers or rapists or lidnaplers are walkimg past me. I need to cover up my body at school, because it male teachers. If a young girl's body disteacts a male teacher, that man shouldn't be allowed near any school, beacuse nkbody should be sexualising any women's body like that.

The murder rate of women in south africa has raised by 117% in the past 2 years. Women between the ages of 15-44 are more likely to be raped than get cancer, or be in a car crash.

This world is terrifying

This is why I decided to dedicate my life towards organizing. In communities of color, we are oppressed for many different reasons but it shouldn't mean we should oppress others or within ourselves. Toxic masculinity is something so fixed inside our communities that we think it's something that is a part of our cultures when really it never was... #toxicmasculinity #rapeculture #rapecultureiswhen #feminism #feminist #feminista #ineedfeminismbecause #liberatethyneighbor #newtypeofrevolution #newkindofrevolution #communitiesofcolor #socialjustice #organizing #activism #intersectionalfeminism #intersectionality #intersectionalitymatters #domesticviolence #unheardvoices https://www.instagram.com/p/Boepkxen3TH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dgm3k1uj2oij

I need feminism because...

When I told my classmate that I didn't want to date him (for the second time) he told me, "Well you say that now, but who knows what you'll say later." I told him that unless he wanted to wait forever, he should look for someone else. His response? "But how will you have a husband or kids if you never date anyone?"

[avodkakindofmom-blog]

I am working on a post and would love to get more inputs. DM or comment why you personally need feminism. I would love to add you to my post and tag you in it (if you approve) I need feminism because I am raising two boys who I want to see the people around them (men and women) as equals. #ineedfeminism #ineedfeminismbecause #feminist #feministaf #feminism #empoweredwomen #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #girlgang #intersectionality #activism #activist #avodkakindofmom (at Walnut Creek, California)

so a comic friend asked if his flyer (featuring an all-male lineup literally using a woman's lower half, in patriotic pants, as a prop to sell tickets) was sexist. obviously yes, but from that came this WOMAN who took us to a place and mindset that belongs in the 1950's. this is the shit i don't like, friends. especially since a non-comic is trying to tell me, a comic, what i should joke about. #patriarchy #feminism #ineedfeminismbecause #women #womenincomedy #feministproblems #gender #fuckyourgenderbinary #genderqueer #bitchyoureofftopic #byefelicia #translivesmatter #cryaboutpoliticalcorrectnessonemoretimetho #patriarchysostrongshedrinksthekoolaid

[christianandnerdy]

I wonder what the biological girl on the left must be thinking? Teen boys are allowed to compete with girls all what these boys have to say is that they identify themselves as a female and these new “female” athletes not only become a success in the sport but exceeds beyond any biological female sport’s accomplishment, the bar is set beyond any biological female’s capacity, and the teen girls from across the nation say “Thank you feminism, I guess sports isn’t for us girls after all” #ineedfeminismbecause #ineedfeminism #feminismiscancer #girlssports https://www.instagram.com/p/BxfoDWFlW5G/?igshid=1j8rzh2vf91tm

Rape goes unreported bc the victims fear that nobody will believe them. People take that 2%-10% of reported rapes are false & run with it. That shit needs to end! Rape culture needs to end! A person falsely claiming to be raped has no power to lock anyone up. It’s a flawed system that locks up the innocent! Posted @withregram • @farida.d.author What % of rape claims are false? Swipe for simple arithmetic👉👉🏻👉🏼👉🏽👉🏾👉🏿⁣⁣ ___ ----- Correction of slide 2: ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Belknap (2010) estimates that 0.005 (i.e. 0.5%) of rape claims are false (this is based on false allegations being 5% of reported rapes, out of 10% reported/ 90% unreported rape cases).

Dana Loesch, others destroy ‘Julias’ swooning over ‘free’ contraceptives

Dana Loesch, others destroy ‘Julias’ swooning over ‘free’ contraceptives

http://twitter.com/#!/DLoesch/status/288303805014097920

Nice one! And with that, CNN contributor Dana Loesch was off and running. Well, tweeting. As Twitchy reported this morning, binders full of moochers were breathlessly tweeting thanks to President Sugar Daddy for the “free” birth control. Because, it’s totally empowering to tether your lady parts to Big Daddy Government. Plus, math is hard.

You could say they did pay for it via payroll tax. I’m sure Susan B. Anthony is proud of the “progress.” twitchy.com/2013/01/07/bin…

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 7, 2013

.@dloesch I still don’t know how someone’s reproductive system can simultaneously be 0% my business AND 100% my responsibility.

— Kenny Hitt (@fusionaddict) January 7, 2013

No, you are most certainly not “empowered” while demanding that other men and women pay for your freely-made choices concerning sex.

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 7, 2013

Middle class families have less $ per week since they now subsidize other women’s bc as related to their freely made sexual choices.

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 7, 2013

Oh, “It’s not that much,” you say? Then why aren’t you paying for yourself?

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 7, 2013

So please, skip the talk of care for middle class families when you simultaneously demand they pay for your freely-made sexual choices.

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 7, 2013

@lebatailleur Stay out of my wallet. My wallet my choice.

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 7, 2013

Bingo. Guess what isn’t “free?”

@dloesch moochers get free BC but my wife pays $50 a month for inhaler. Guess breathing is low on the necessity list?

— Shane Wheeler (@1ShaneWheeler) January 7, 2013

War on breathing. But, hey, “free” birth control.

Other conservative women continue to try to explain the facts of life to the woefully and wilfully ignorant.

I wonder how many “free” birth control RXs can be bought with the monthly premium increases: is.gd/yNAIAJ

— Whitney Pitcher (@whitneypitcher) January 7, 2013

Can somebody plz tell the morons tweeting glee over their “free” birth control that NOTHING is free?!? Oh wait…they don’t give a crap.

— L. North (@LadyLNorth) January 7, 2013

Some folks don’t understand that NOTHING from the gov’t is free! twitchy.com/2013/01/07/bin…

— Jess Clark (@jclarky_) January 7, 2013

The extra chunk of $$ that came out of my paycheck thanks to Obama tax hikes, is wayyy more than one month of $9 birth control, thx Sandra!

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) January 5, 2013

Hey Ladies, It’s not ‘free’ birth control. It’s coming from your friends and neighbors’ paychecks! Go thank them!

— Danamariee (@djdana_) January 7, 2013

Thank your neighbors and friends and anyone who pays for health insurance for your “free” birth control, because they’re paying for it.

— Savannah (@thesavvy) January 7, 2013

Precisely. As Twitchy reported, President Obama has moved us forward to smaller paychecks. The non-deluded realize that, and even some Obama voters are suffering from buyers’ remorse. Sadly, too little, too late.

Yup!! RT @mrskimcam: @maryclimer you mean real women pay for their own birth control?

— Redness (@maryclimer) January 7, 2013

What dark magic is that?

x1000 RT @thesavvy: My birth control is free at the pharmacy. It’s called abstinence. The OTC version is called self-control.

— Angela Nelson (@angelaisms) January 7, 2013

Women who are truly empowered also fight back against the harmful veil of victimhood with which “feminists” try to shroud women.

These “Feminists” are slaves. | thank Obama for ‘free’ birth control; Non-deluded angry they are paying more twitchy.com/2013/01/07/bin…

— Stevie J. West (@StevieJWest) January 7, 2013

@sensum_communem @ohhoe @blacknteal Us smart woman still exist. I pay for my own birth control. Don’t need to government to do it.

— kenzie freed (@Raised__Right) January 6, 2013

I can’t understand why liberal women demand someone else pay for their birth control. It’s the opposite of female empowerment.

— Lauren Dixon (@laurendixon88) January 7, 2013

‘Women’ begging for the government to cover their birth control sets our gender back about 50 years. Stop being weak & take care of yourself

— Melissa E. (@DreadfulPenny81) January 7, 2013

Now that is empowerment, baby!

President Obama and his fellow travelers would rather enslave you, ladies. Remember that.

Feminist Rant

#Ineedfeminismbecause i was doing this temporary tattoo thing that last for a few months on my ankle, and my parents started complaining about how I needed to shave my legs. (I don’t shave my legs and refuse to because why the hell am I going to waste my time, energy, and money on something that won’t make me feel better about myself, and the hair is lightly colored, so its not really visible) and then my whole family started to gang up on me. THEN it got worse. My SEVEN YEAR OLD BROTHER came up to me and said i needed to shave my legs. Oh hell no. I really wanted to yell fuck off, but i’m only 15, and i’d get in trouble. I can’t wait till I move out, and I don’t have to deal with this shit anymore. Thats all. Like i said feminist rant.

[no-trouser-teusday]

#ineedfeminismbecause

When my sister said she wanted to be a doctor, my aunts 'corrected' her and said she wanted to marry one. I was called sick for not wanting kids, because it was my 'duty', and it was offensive for me to say I didn't like kids. A group of boys 'complimented' me by saying that if they were my husband, they'd only beat me a little, because it was obvious that I'd do as I was told. It's 2017. Sexism is a joke, and it's getting really old.
