    I think we should celebrate our differences, but in a fair way.

    There are major differences between us, and they are because of our physical make up. Hormones, mainly. (Most) Men are naturally more competitive, so are more likely to give up everything, hapiness, included, to get ahead. (most) Women are more compassionate, so are more aware of others and are more likely to do something that makes them happy, even if it means less "success".

    But over thousands of years, shit has gotten a little out of control. Nowdays you've got the resulting societal expectations and rules that have evolved and some of them are really shitty toward women, and very few of them are shitty toward men.

    The western world seems to have gotten a lot better, but there are a lot of messed up cultures out there! Places where the word feminism doesn't even exist and the ladies get the shit kicked out of them.

    If there's anything I can do to stop that shit, I will. Seriously I think it's one of the biggest problems in this world.

    But on the other hand, if I see their problems undermined by one more stupid facebook post about "empowering" some rich which bitch who thinks life is so unfair because they can't walk through dodgy parts of town in a sexy-as-hell outfit and not get complimented by sleazy dudes, I'm gonna throw my toys! I can't walk through dodgy parts of town with a nice bicycle or iPhone without just as much unwanted attention, but I don't complain about it and say that it's a societal issue, I fucking hide that shit away or stay away from that area.

    But then again I guess even in the 70s things were way worse for women because none of them had rallied against it. Bosses had their hands up their secretaries' skirts all the fucking time and knew they'd get away with it.

    So I guess what I'm saying is that Feminism is necessary in our society, but a lot of women have the wrong idea about what it should stand for.
