Feminists have the uncomfortable position

[Lotusflower70]

77. And yet

Our concerns are dismissed or treated as insignificant. A woman wants to own her sexuality, she gets called names. A woman wants to be successful in business and decides not to have children. She is judged harshly and treated as though she is selfish. Rape and domestic violence victims have to fight for justice. Women are still fighting the battle for reproductive rights. Serious issues are in need of solutions and yet we are still treated as though we are cloked in victimhood. That all we do is complain. But those methods are attempts to silence us. I will not be silenced. I refuse. There are divides in the feminist movement. I am proud to be a feminist regardless of the misperceptions and ignorance. It's not only for me that I am active, it is for those around me and beyond me as well as future generations. I want to leave them something better. Something they can build on.
