I am a feminist because I believe in Gender Equality.
Many of my friends, some of whom read this blog, have a few of feminism as a movement for Woman-supremecy. That we won’t stop until men are smashed and women are on top. This isn’t true of me, and actually it isn’t true of feminism. What I do want is gender equality. I am sick and tired of society treating women differently, having different expectations of them, of them being forced to modify their behavior to suit men’s agenda.
These posts aren’t supposed to be long, but at the same time I feel the need to establish a strong case that women and men are treated unequally otherwise arguing that I am a feminist for the sake of gender equality is futile. So I will link you to this privilege checklist:

I believe that this privilege, the privilege in which I share, is unjust and it demeans the God-given personhood of women and that feminism is the best way of smashing it. (yes, that is something I believe we should smash). And that once we have overcome this male-privilege then we will see greater gender equality.
