What’s a real shame is we’re not doing anything about it simply because young men are people.
Feminism didn’t arrive because women were “a source of trouble” or anything. It’s because women deserve a life of freedom of choice, independence, and inclusion in society.
Why aren’t we striving to provide young boys and men with the same sense of purpose and ideal? Shouldn’t be borne out of a sense that they’ll be a problem later but rather because it’s just right.
Feminism absolutely arrived because women made themselves a source of trouble.
I just came back from the National Park at Seneca Falls NY about women’s liberation. Women are even still today working for equal rights, and women’s right to vote came after 70 years of activism and fight.
We will get improvements to housing, wages, health care, and every other good action we need from our leaders and wealthy powerful society, when we make it more uncomfortable for them to keep helping themselves than to change and help the rest of us — and not one minute before.
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
