Found this link on twitter the other day. I honestly was pissed off by it, agreed with some aspects, but mostly thought the author was ignorant. The last paragraph basically tells us we should be content with how things are because women in other countries have it way worse... not sure that justifies how women are being treated here. It's tricky comparing equality among different cultures.
Link to article (short)
I have to agree that this writer is a dumbass. I do think that this person DOES have a point, and that women in America DO have it better than women in some other countries, and for that I am thankful. But not all feminists are nazis. The word "feminist" has such a bad connotation in our society, but I believe that it means someone who wants equal rights for women. You don't have to be extremist to be a feminist! There are large and small ways to engage in separatism!!! Also, I get that abstinence is the best form of birth control, but if this author thinks that people will stop having sex as their main form of birth control then he/she has another thing coming.....
