Feminism isn’t needed any more, right?

Filed under: Uncategorized

I’ve heard this all over the place. But women can do what they want now so why are you bothering with that feminism rubbish now? 

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Women face bias worldwide - UN

 70% of the world’s poor are women and they own just 1% of the world’s titled land.

Hmm, I think I’ll carry on with the feminist politics a while longer. 

rape within marriage has still not been made a crime in 53 nations.

Really?  Why not? Oh and while I’m looking at marriage - the US State of Arkansas recently passed (and then repealed) a law removing the minimum age for marriage!

Lawmakers did not realize until after the end of last year’s regular session that a law they approved, intended to establish 18 as the minimum age for marriage, instead removed the minimum age to marry entirely.

Then when they sorted it all out the min age for boys is 17 and for girls it’s 16. Why the difference? So boys get to finish college? So young women are pressured to quit school early and not finish their education?

I think we still have plenty of reasons for being feminists, and plenty of areas in which to fight.
