As you read the title of this article, you might be thinking this is just another feminist rant and are ready to click to the next page. Before you do that, I would like to say I am here to rant about my problems, I am only here to inform about the need and importance of feminism around the world.
Let me start by saying that if you personally believe the women should just as much equal opportunity as men, then congratulations you are a feminist. This doesn't degrade you in any way, it doesn't mean your status as a human being lowers, it means you have a regard for basic human rights and that makes you person. A person who's a feminist technically, but nothing you should be ashamed of.
Time again, I hear people say they don't need feminism because they haven't been personally affected or have not experienced direct discrimination. Feminism isn't just for yourself. It is for the benefit of empowering all women. Whether it's fighting domestic abuse, child marriages, or the wage gap, feminists work together to create a balance between how men and women are perceived in society.
Feminism changes the way of society by fighting rape culture, gender norms, and how gender is understood within it. Feminism isn't a fight against you, it is a fight for human rights.
