She wants the D(estruction of the patriarchy)



     So my friend showed me this t-shirt today and I thought it was hilarious. The saying "She wants the D" has become really prevalent in my life recently. For those that are unsure, the D stands for dick. Recently, I have heard several people I know say "do it for the D" or "She got the D!!" and many other variations. So to see this shirt, I just laugh because first of all, all those situations in which those people were saying "she wants the D" becomes much more hilarious and secondly because it is just a clever shirt. And I know people will probably be saying how this is another one of those feminist things and that none of this is sexist. But i think that is the point, i have heard both boys and girls use the saying and this shirt is fighting for gender equality.

   I think that when people hear the word patriarchy, they do not understand what the word means. They think that it means that all males are being attacked for who they are and that it doesn't matter what you believe in. However, that is obviously untrue. If people were to take the time to learn about what feminism and the patriarchy really are then i think that everyone would find the humor in shirts such as this.

  Plus I really want this shirt!!
