so first order of business is my rant about uneducated people. if you are uneducated about a subject, keep your arrogant close-minded opinion to yourself. today we talked about feminism in my english class. our prof asked what we thought about feminism, and probably 75 percent of the class didn't put there hand up saying they were a feminist and the other 15 percent half ass raised their hands. the first comment i made was that feminism has a really negative stereotype because most people don't really know what it is and it is a subject most people are very uneducated about.
so this girl starts talking about how she doesn't believe in feminism but she believes in gender equality. in my head i'm thinking, "PARDON ME". what do you mean you don't believe in feminism but you believe in equalism? it is the same thing. being a feminist doesn't mean your some man-hating, hairy-legged lesbian. it means you believe that men and women should be equal.
then we proceed the discussion and she says she thinks that men and women are equal in today's society. again, PARDON?! examples were given of gender inequalities for a number of reasons, such as men are paid higher than women for the same jobs, gender inequalities in sports, a women in big business that's good at her job is considered a bitch whereas a man is just considered a great boss and especially in sexuality. women are sluts but it's completely okay for men to take control of their sexuality and objectify women.
still this girl said she didn't believe in feminism but she believed in equalism and that men and women are equal in society. and we don't need to learn about feminism.
i seriously almost got up and smacked in the hard, picture the v8 commercial. that's what i'd do. bonk her right square in the forehead and tell her to smarten up.
