Many individuals truly believe that we no longer need feminism, including some females themselves. Talk about (internalized) misogyny! Obviously, women have more rights and freedoms than decades prior, but there is still work that needs to be done. Unrealistic standards, unequal pay and opportunities and victim blaming are just a few of the issues faced by women in the United States today. Not to mention the honor killings, FGM and forced marriages, amongst other tragedies, faced by women in other countries. Below are 11 pictures that explain why we still need feminism today:

1. Female genital mutilation is still a thing.

2. Intersectional oppression is everywhere.

3. Women are significantly more likely to be impoverished.

4. Young girls are taught about being modest and covering up in order to stay safe.

5. People accuse victims of “asking for it.”

6. ...and unnecessarily question and blame victims,

7. ...even though one in four women are sexually assaulted.

8. Women who share their opinions are often viewed as “strong” or “b*tchy.”

9. ...or dismissed as “angry,” while it’s expected of men to have strong opinions,

10. ...which helps explain why most CEO’s are men.

11. And finally, feminists are attacked for simply wanting equality and again accused of “playing victim,” dismissing the real issues that exist.
