The merit for movements like this back when the treatment of woman was appalling and they outright didn’t have rights was fine, but because of social media the movement has lost its focus and has become rather obsolete. I had feminism shoved down my throat purely because am a woman multiple times and they get offended when I say I’m not. They try to make out to other woman that they’re victims and that they should feel bad, it’s like an oppression olympics.

The fact is, the treatment of women in the first world is far from perfect, sure, but it’s so much better than it’s ever been, and in certain both real life and online circles and in certain rights, woman now have the upper hand. Weve moved past the point where we need mass protests and movements and such for gender equality because it’s regressive considering the point we are in society.

Why can’t we all just label ourselves as good human beings and do our part in making sure EVERYONE has rights and an equal playing field regardless of colour or sexuality or gender, not just certain people? Why do we feel the need to wear labels like feminism on our shirts and claim ‘I’m for equality if ur not a feminist ur not pro equality’? It’s so regressive it literally achieves nothing and it’s created a generation of people with victim complexes

How are straight people treated poorly for being straight? that's absolutely not true
