Feminism and Why It's Headed in the Wrong Direction

I'm a libra and I like this picture.

This is somewhat of a rant. I'm so sick of feminism.

Feminism is defined as the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.

Ok... Western ladies, where are we not equal? Sure, pay is sometimes lower. That's something to be addressed.

But yes, let's go shirtless and braless. You think this won't encourage the rape numbers to go up? Sexual assault? Lets just walk around half naked now. Maybe it won't. But if I walk around with DDDs I'm pretty sure that may not be exactly safe for me, considering I already get harassed.

We have the right to vote.

We can join the army.

The sexes will never be 100% equal. We each take lead in different aspects of life.. Women are the ones who are typically viewed as the parent who rears the child. Men fight for our country. We have vaginas. We give birth. Men have penises. They give sperm.

If we want to be truly equal, why aren't we fighting for men to become pregnant and carry around our children? Why the fuck can't I have a penis? They're pretty fun to play with, I'd wank myself all day long. It's because my chromosomes are different. Mine are XX. Men's are XY.

Omg. Our chromosomes are different. It must mean men think they are better than us. No you dumbarses, they are just stronger than us in certain aspects. I sure as hell don't want to take a bullet for my country, I'll let my future hubby do that. But you can bet he can't give birth to our children like I can.

Abortions. Why don't men get a say? You think that's fair? I sure as hell don't. It takes two to lie down and make a child.. There should be 2 included in the decision to abort, not just the one carrying the child. You are both responsible for it.

Sure, some thing's aren't fair. I recognize wage differences. Sexism. It also isn't fair that women almost always get custody of children in parent splits. Fight for everyone to be equal, not just yourself. Why can't men give birth? Why can't we go half naked like men? Chill out America. Run around in a damn bikini if you want, but I am a woman and I sure as hell don't want to see your tits sagging, no more than I want you to see mine.

Why can't we fight for something that is still relevant today? Let's fight against racism. Let's fight for feminism for middle eastern women. Let's fight to have our cities repaired. I'm from Detroit and I photograph the city. When I share these pictures I get asked when I got pictures of a war zone. Let us change our focus to something more relevant, something that needs more attention than feminism, which is as far as it needs to go, while we sit blind to other countries, or even to our own countries needs. People still starve in America. Children are homeless. Who fights for them? Or are you too busy fighting to get that extra 100$ a year, than to stop and look at your own faults and selfishness?

Let's fight for something that actually matters ladies. Feminists have a great energy but that energy needs to be focused elsewhere right now.
