It's something I care about and hope to learn about more over the years. I feel like when you're passionate about something, you need to experience it on your own. I've never had something happen to me where I've thought, 'thIS IS WHY WE NEED FEMINISM!!!1'. Maybe I'm just lucky. But I refuse to see that where we live is that awful.

Personally i think that if you're wanting equality, then you want it on a WW basis, it might be better here in the UK than in other places, like the middle east for example, but that wouldn't stop anyone from being a feminist, just because we have it better.
And re; the why we need feminism/it strictly being women rights, there was a story in the paper a few weeks ago, i saw a woman had attacked a man, (bitten his ear off, or bottled him and he'd lost his eye sight in one eye or something equally bad) anyway, she'd been previously arrested 17 times and had numerous convictions for assault, and this case went to court, despite there being however much evidence the woman was let off with a caution, and i'm pretty sure if that had been a man, he'd have been sentenced to a pretty lengthy stretch in prison. Because men and women aren't viewed as equal, she got away with something horrendous
