History of Feminism

...and exists at the pleasure of the other half.

Whether the justification be religious, cultural, philosophical, economic, or scientific in nature, the sexism, hatred, bigotry, and contempt for a vast part of humanity should shock everyone-but it doesn't, because it's so normalized and conditioned into our very own thought processes, the way we learn, and the way we identify ourselves and each other.

That's why feminism is fundamentally a human rights issue, in addition to being a public health issue and a moral issue (your morality may vary, but if you can't recognize how all forms of oppression violate human dignity...well, I just don't know what to tell you).
