Give this woman a cookie!

Then complain about those problems instead. Thank you for the post

i wish this would be called humanism and not feminism, but AMEN.

Found a smart feminist

Okay, I'd like to point something out: while it definitely isn't as bad in first-world countries for women as it is in other places, that doesn't mean we shouldn't ignore the problems that we have completely. 1.) Yes, I like wearing makeup and dressing up but I DO feel pressured to look a certain way and act a certain way as a woman and I feel insecure and unconfident if I don't fulfill those expectations (and I usually don't). 2.) I have felt threatened and judged because of my gender so many times. There are so many sexist boys at my school. And I do feel threatened as a woman if someone is looking at me in a certain way that's just bad. I live in a less than ideal area and I see a lot of weird guys on a daily basis who have done who knows what. 3.) Obviously I haven't created these problems, they just happen. 4.) I do believe we should focus on issues like the Taliban excluding women's right to education first, that doesn't mean we should write them off as unimportant.

Failure to make room for feminism in any context is a convenient distraction from the fact that you will make 70 cents per a man's dollar in the US. Patriarchy envelopes the first through third worlds. Focusing only on outright patriarchy and not the subtle is choosing to tolerate it nonetheless. You're confusing equality with comfort.

Screw the cookie, give her a beer! And a medal!

Umm...

That's not Feminism. That's basic Human rights. Only way to change that is to change those governments and their laws. And the Easiest way to do that is through war. If they don't cooperate at first.

I do not think this is fair. Now I live in the comfort of the first world, and I must admit that the issues this region faces are minute with respect to the atrocities that exist in other, less-developed worlds, but just because there exists a worse circumstance, that does not make these issues trivial – and certainly that does not make them moot. For instance, the effects of domestic violence are more likely and often more serious among women than men; the same goes for eating disorders. These are very real and very dangerous problems in this high and mighty land, and while I admit that we should not focus on them to the exclusion of other more-serious problems, we should by no means do the reciprocal.

dont complain about FEMINISM which is bitching about wanting to be treated equal to a man but getting to do as little as women were doing before you want to get the same respect do the same shit to earn it, what your little piece of pointless notebook paper should be whining about is a basic human rights issue, BTW I'm glad that instead of doing something useful like volunteering you've done something so massive as posting a notebook page with sharpie on it on a page meant for comedy, it gave me a laugh
