We’re constantly hearing, “what are feminists complaining about in 2016?!? Things are equal now!!!”

Women and LGBTQIA+ folks can’t even walk the streets at night without the REAL AND CONSTANT WORRY OF ATTACK, RAPE, AND MURDER. 

IN MOST COUNTRIES INCLUDING THE U.S. THERE IS ESSENTIALLY A GENDER CURFEW WHERE YOU CAN’T EVEN WALK THE F**ING STREETS AFTER DARK  WITHOUT RISK OF BEING ASSAULTED AND/OR KILLED, THEN BLAMED FOR IT BECAUSE YOU WERE OUTSIDE AFTER DARK, SO WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?!?

So the next time you feel the need to ask, “why do we need feminism in 2016?” 

THAT’S WHY.
