“The F-Word,” written by Jasmine H was extremely well written.  It really expressed the controversy in the world today.  Feminism is defined as the theory of political, economic, and social equality of men and women.  In fact many people believe that feminism revolves around women and women only.  Jasmine has a huge point on how our culture is a patriarchy, which is a society, or government where men have the power and women are pushed off to the side.  We have lived in this type of society since the early 1500s and 1600s.  In this time many young girls were forced into marriage with older men.  Now a day’s rape is a huge subject.  99 percent of the time men are the rapists, yet it somehow becomes the woman’s problem.  I’m not saying I’m a feminist but I do believe that men need to realize that women aren’t always the problem.  Men also create many of the world’s problems.

"who the fuck has a favorite personal quote what does that even mean" - me, just now.

Your opinion on feminism becomes relatively moot when you feel the need to add it "I'm not saying I'm a FEMINIST or anything..." after you speak. And for those of you wondering: feminism is about and for women, and supports women's liberation. It's about time we cut it with the cutesy intensely male-catering "feminism is for everyone! UWU" sh_t.
