"Every once in a while, there’s some big article about feminism being dead… And if feminism isn’t dead it’s equally accused of being outdated. Or a failure. Or unnecessary. But if feminism is dead, then why do people have to keep on trying to kill it? whether it’s in the media, politics, or conservative organisations, there’s a big old trend of trying to convince the world that feminism is long gone. The argument is that either that women don’t need feminism anymore, or that those crazy radical feminists don’t speak for most women. Never mind that recent polls show that most women support feminist goals, like equal pay for equal work, ending violence against women, childcare, women’s healthcare, and getting more women in political office. Here comes that “I’m not a feminist, but..” again."
