We need feminism because being cat called on the streets is considered a ‘compliment”


Because ‘bitch’ describes a female dog, not a human


We need feminism because having short hair isn’t just for males


Because the worse thing a girl can be is a slut or a bitch and the worst thing a guy can be is a pussy or a girl


We need feminism because society continues to teach people to “not get raped” rather than teach not to rape


Because someones wardrobe is not equal to consent


We need feminism because saying no doesn’t make you a prude and saying yes doesn’t make you a slut.


Because men can’t cry without being told he is gay or is too feminine


We need feminism because women are told they are “perpetuating rape culture” by joining the military


Because I don't feel it's right that I will make .77¢ for every $1.00 my male counterparts will make, over something I couldn't control.


We need feminism because people in my generation think 'femisim' is a dirty word.


Feminism isn’t just the fight for women's rights.


It’s a fight for everyone to have rights that they deserve.
