I See How Feminism Has Failed

Slut is only a bad word if you let it be :P and it has nothing to do with feminism other than that feminists believe that women have the right to choose their own sexuality.. if they happen to be a bit slutty cool.. if they happen to be utterly pure and virginal, like myself :P then that's fine too..

Just a look around will tell you we are better than some but still have a way to go.. many young people, and I mean NO insult in this, believe we have equality and so there is no need now for feminism.. that's partly why there is some movement against it..the other part of that is people who wish a return to the bad old days.. but that's a different subject..
RE the everyday sexism and discrimination we still encounter.. in a recent article in the Times we saw that we are still not there re equal pay.. have a long way to go.. and this covers cleaners, shop assistants, hairdressers etc.. so it's ordinary people.. we saw another news article saying that ASDA have opened the facility whereby women can now apply for equal pay, apply.. not automatically get.. they have to apply.. that's still good news but one wonders why it's taken so long. It also shows we are not there yet.. we dont have equality or anywhere near..
And when it comes to childcare, (and to a lesser degree housework) that's when it really gets unequal.. even when a woman returns to work she is faces with problems that she hadn't anticipated.. and its then the inequality really shows.. take for example... a manager.. has a baby wants to return... ahh but she finds that even tho her and her husband both MADE the baby.. HE expects that SHE will do all the raising, all the getting the baby ready before work... she will do all the running around to nursery and childcare.. and when the baby is sick SHE is expected to be the one who stays home to look after it..and so her position as manager becomes untenable.. or difficult at very least. but when you think about it why should this be.. they both made the baby.. it wasnt her on her own.. why should HER career suffer? FOr sure some women are happy to stay home look after kids.. nothing wrong with that.. but its almost no choice cos the reality is it's too hard and most of the child care falls to the woman.. and if she stays home what then? taking time out from her career and the continuing majority of childcare fallign to her tends to mean she has no choice but a part time low paid job.. .these are the realities.. and not the only ones... we still have a way to go..
There's a lot of myth about.. and some have been fed the line that feminists are anti men.. they arent... it's about workign together and fairness

Another thought about this... and feminism..the first pic is a woman protesting against the rape culture whereby men/some men excuse rape by saying the woman was a slut/dressed slutty..while we still have a culture that seeks to blame women for being raped (and remember assault against women IS increasing) THIS shows we definitely still need feminism..

Re the other pictures..they are only very, very very loosely and NOT directly related to feminism.. they do represent the right of women to be happy, open and even, display their sexual freedom.. Is this a bad thing? Pretty much most of the men on here are positively gagging for women to declare themselves sluts and seem to like it.. Sexual freedom is not a bad thing!! If it's related to feminism then again surely this is a positive effect?

As to the degradation of women feminists dont seek to shame women for being sexual.. sorry but they dont.. [u]feminists are TOTALLY in favour of women having freedom to have as much sex as they wish.[/u]. and to be honest this benefits (again!) both men and women.. It's kinda weird that feminism seems to be being held up as being FOR women's sexual freedom AND against it -you can't have both unless you are trying to denigrate feminism just for the sake of it!

These pics may well be cute and thought provoking but the sure don't show that we don't need feminism..

So...they aim to empower women by slut shaming themselves?

Oh look. Two women who enjoy sex and wish to subvert a nasty gendered term. Grab your umbrella folks. The skies falling in :-)

I think you kind of missed the point entirely

Yep. I refuse to call myself a feminist anymore. Western feminism achieved equality ages ago and now they are seeking to fight for things that don't even exist or matter while women in the middle east and Africa are subjected to actual oppression and degradation.

Trump supporters

slut on the right is totally bangable

yup,just like eery good thing,it all starts with a good idea and good cause and shitheads destroy it as always -_-

I feel as though things are ass backwards right now. I am hoping by the time my daughters are in their teens, the tides and times will have changed, and it will no longer be trendy to dress for sexess.....which I know isn't a thing, but it really is .:(

I don't get it

lol equality

Doesn't seem like it's ever going to happen.

Hey!! Let them degrade themselves if they want to! oh.. shit!
