More often than not, I have heard people pointing out how feminism is ridiculous because it tries to make women superior to men. Any educated person who has read more than only Camille Paglia will know that is untrue. But what if it were?
First off, I need feminism. In a world where more than 50% of business leaders are men, they will continue hiring men because people mingle with like-minded people. Women have had to do more than men and be more energetic and harsh because if they were "just being women," they would have been stuck with "women's jobs" instead of succeeding in their ambitions.
Secondly, I need feminism because when I make breakfast for the two men in my house, I always get a thank you and a smile, but the rare times I ask breakfast to be made, I get a complaint or a sarcastic remark. I only get breakfast made without asking when it is International Women's Day - only contact me if you know what happened or when it is Google it - or Mother's Day or my birthday.
Finally, men still fail to see that emotions are part of being human, not a woman. If I cry, I am being a "little girl"; if I complain, I am being a "bitch"; if I yell, I am being "irrational". Men are never called those terms, except for "little girl" if they cry as children.
So I need feminism, being married, being a mother, being a teacher, being human because apparently the word man has left out the hu- on purpose.
P.S.: credit be given - my men share the chores with me at home. But if society weren't sexist, that would have been needless to point out...
