I am a feminist because...
- Women deserve to be recognized for their strength BEFORE their physical attributes.
- Men should not be afraid to show emotions, crying is a beautiful thing.
- Women and Girls have the right to be educated as much as the boys, period.
- Women's health is not taken seriously enough
- Men and women shouldn't be told that they need to look a certain way in order to be considered of worth.
- Maternity leave and Paternity leave should be priorities, rearing children is a job for BOTH parents.
- Women don't have to wear makeup, and if men want to wear makeup they should be able to. Free of judgement.
- Being feminine isn't a weakness, whether you be male or female.
My list goes on an on, why are you a feminist? If you are unsure of your stance in this issue, as yourself one question, "Do I believe men and women should have equal rights and opportunities?" If your answer was yes, then congratulations, you are a feminist. If you answered no, you have some research to do my friend.
