Not Another Feminist Blog

[trigger warning]

Oh no. Not again. Isn't feminism all over, anyway?

Why do we need another feminist forum?
-We need a another forum because women are still raped and assaulted, and then told they were “asking for it”;
-because many women are not safe from violence, even in their own homes;
-because mothers and families are still not supported by our government or our society;
-because there is still a wage gap between men and women doing the same jobs;
-because female athletes and musicians are still considered “good for a girl”, even when they excel as much as or more than their male counterparts;
-because women are still judged on how beautiful they are rather than how talented they are;
-because women are so sexualized that they can't nurse their children in public without being called “obscene”;
-and because when we assign gender roles, everyone loses, not just women.

The list could go on, unfortunately.

We still need feminism. It's not over. In fact, it seems the message of equal rights, protections, and opportunities for women is getting lost somehow. It's important to keep mentioning that message over and over. The more these concepts make it into our culture, the more weight they will hold. If an inane YouTube video can “go viral”, why not feminist concepts? That is the idea behind creating yet another feminist blog. Hopefully, it will inspire other feminists to spread their vision of feminism far and wide.
