I need feminism because I hate been told that I am a weaker vessel
I need feminism because I’m tired of hearing pastors and bishops telling women that they are irresponsible for being single at 35 years old
I need feminism because I hate it when my president thinks a woman’s place lies in the kitchen.
I need feminism because my worth and esteem as a human is not and can never be tied to my MASCULINITY
I need feminism because I hate it when the male gender makes choices for the female gender
I need feminism because emotion doesn’t ask or care about your gender
I need feminism because I don’t want to find an excuse to justify rape
I need feminism because it’s the only way to truly be a woman
I need feminism because it makes it easy to ignore sexism even when it works in your favour
I need feminism because Real Men don’t “Buy their wives”
I need feminism because I believe a man “owes me no shit”
I need feminism because WOMEN DESERVE BETTER
I need feminism because I don’t want my kids to be like my fathers
I need feminism because what the society sees as MASCULINE is slowly destroying the potentials of the women and that of the men as well.

I need feminism because I love HUMANITY.
PS: WE ALL NEED FEMINISM.
PPS: Hope you discover the word “I” in everything I said! (my personal reasons)

Why do you need feminism?
