Feminism

A movement that aims for both genders to be equal. The common misconception is that it is a group of women who think that they are better than men (see misandrist). Feminism is recognising that men do have their own problems, specific to their gender, and so do women. Feminism is recognising that men get raped as well as women. Feminism is recognising the fact that women do get paid less than men and that this is wrong. Feminism is allowing boys to wear dresses if they want to and allowing girls to where pants. Feminism is accepting others as equals for who they are. Just because it's called FEMinism, doesn't mean that it's just about girls. It's about everyone. Just like the phrase man kind includes women too.

I need feminism because I believe that everyone should feel safe when being themselves in public.
