"I need feminism because ____."



I don't know about you girls, but I always find "I need ____" statements interesting. It's fun and often times inspiring to look at what different people say and see how they feel about the topic. I saw this "I need ____" statement and it really stood out to me. I thought it was a strong statement that can relate to any woman's life. Too often, women get called a "bitch" or "psycho" for being angry about something. What is so wrong with a woman being angry about something? Why do women get called a "bitch" when they are angry but men don't get called anything? I know I am sometimes scared to speak my mind or get angry because of what people will call me. It's sad, but I tend to feel like whatever it is that they call me afterwards, which is not right or fair to me. Women should not be criticized for voicing their opinion, especially for something that isn't fair to them and needs to be addressed. Like this woman, I want to be considered "strong" because of my aspirations and drive, not simply because I am "angry" about something. I want my strengths to be thought of in the same respect as that of a man's. I want my strengths to be taken seriously. How about you?

  1. I can't remember if I actually did a post about this, or if it's just familiar to me because I read an article about it on buzzfeed. Either way, I love this!

  2. I think that is very interesting. I never thought about the stand point on not being allowed to be angry.
