This is what a feminist looks like.


I saw this photo as I was browsing the internet the other day and I think this really captured what the meaning of feminism really is. It is not about what we do or what we dress like, it is about who we are as people. People just like men, people that deserve respect and consideration. We should not have to defend our decisions to other people. If we want to work on a construction site then we should be able to, if we want to play football then we should be able to, if we want to run for president then it should be no big fucking deal. The worst part about sexism is that it is so subtle that people do not even realize it is happening, it is so ingrained in us that fighting against it is really difficult. I find it difficult for me to fight against that selfish desire for men to pay for things or to make things easier on my life; I know that this is a selfish desire and fighting against it. Being a feminist is not about just being a feminist when i am being treated unfairly, but also when men are being treated unfairly. I want equality and that is what i am fighting for.
