Doesn’t Matter Who Washes the Plates or Cleans at Home
Here’s what feminism should be about.
I didn’t realize the importance of feminism until my first gynecologist appointment. My mom, bless her soul, went through the trial and error of finding a caring female reproductive system doctor.
As a woman, it’s the next best thing to her passing down generational wealth. And no. I’m not being dramatic.
Roe v. Wade is the tippest of the iceberg. What’s terrifying? Depending on where you were born, it’s a privilege to debate who should wash the dishes. Clean the home. Or if men should lift a finger only to eat at home.
Here are the hidden, undiscussed feminist issues deserving of attention.
“To be able to create opportunities where women are telling their stories in their own words, you’re just getting a better perspective of the human experience.” — Reese Witherspoon
Feminism isn’t about race wars. It’s a motive to give other women perspective, the confidence to advocate for themselves, and motivation to say “no” when uncomfortable. For me, feminism — is a means to build people’s acceptance of a lady claiming & enjoying her happiness.
