Dear Feminists,Just Shut Up Already. [View all]

Feminists, like abolitionists, had a valid agenda at one point in time. There were rights and laws in America that didn’t let women do the same things as men. But those laws have been overturned, and women in America have every right that men do. So why are we still setting ourselves apart?

Men, on the other side of the coin, have even begun to blame the feminists and the feminist movement for taking their jobs and taking away their masculinity. There is some truth to the belief that decreased sexism toward women has turned into increased sexism toward men, but I think it’s time for the blame game to end...

It can be an awkward boat to be in when you consider yourself liberal-minded and you come across the idea of feminism.

“Yeah, wahoo! You go girl! You’re great because you’re a girl, and you’re doing something worth noting.” Isn’t that much more sexist than simply saying, “Hey, you did something great. Good job.” Why does a lack of the male sexual organs still mean so much?
