“Every time someone says we don’t need feminism anymore, things like this come to mind. Due to insufficient dowry this young girl’s husband lacerated her face with a razor blade.” (Gwalior - India) - ph. Adrian Fisk.

if you say you don’t need feminism, you are selfish. selfish that you have not stop to think about the millions of girls and women and trans women who are either getting killed, mutilated, raped, or sold into sex slavery and child marriages. for fucks sake, the women’s right to vote in the US isnt even a hundred years old yet. women in the work force is still recent. the first american women to go into space was in 1983. the firs women to be credited for a marvel movie just happened. like firsts are still happening. and women are still getting murdered for being women. WE NEED FEMINISM.

[Shadow00]

Indeed. Countries like that need feminism.
It looks to me stupid and ridiculous women in the US asking for more feminism for their country when stuff like this happens.

Its like some guy inside a rich ass country complaining about poverty in his country

Just saying.



This dude is perhaps of the most important people this year, if not THE most important.
See him so happy? Thats cause he is the first man in history to LAND A SPACECRAFT ON A COMET FROM 4 BILLION MILES AWAY.

badass, right? Well guess what. He got targeted by feminists for what he was wearing. That is western feminism for you.

Moral of the story: ignore every western feminist and move on with your life and being awesome

He did wear that shirt, the shirt the many feminists believe is sexist and therefore overshadows a scientific accomplishment. I mean sure, they landed a rocket on a comet. But did you see the shirt he was wearing? He's obviously one of the reasons why there aren't more women who want to go into STEM fields.
Also, obviously the woman who designed the shirt is sexist as well. As she designed a shirt that apparently objectifies women.
You know, I like the fact that he actually took responsibility for wearing the shirt and apologized.

But this was absolutely ridiculous. Apparently women are so sensitive and delicate that a shirt scares them away from STEM fields, from pursuing what they want. Apparently women are that easy to discourage from doing what they want to do.
I thought women were strong and independent?

In the end you've got to decide between one of two things. People are responsible for what they wear and you've got to accept that people will react to what you're wearing in different ways.
In other words do what this guy did and own up to your decisions.
Or you can forget about this whole shirt thing because just as girls can wear whatever they want. So can guys.

yes they can wear whatever they want
yes they can also get backlash for it - this guy and his shirt and a girl and her skimpy dress

[Shadow00]

Therefore why do feminists judge the dude but back up the skimpy girl?

Maybe feminism is NOT about equality?
Maybe feminism is indeed not needed as we are fine with ignoring both feminists and misogynists.

Everyone does a pretty good job of ignoring eachother.
