That Feminist!!!

I am that feminist that doesn't seek the degradation of men to uplift women

I am that feminist that doesn't see all men as dogs just to make women feel better

I am that feminist that doesn't want women as Queens and men as slaves

I am the feminist that sees all human beings as equal regardless of gender

I am the feminist that doesn't care much for patriarchy

The feminist that sees the oppression and limitation of women disguised in societal norms and customs

The feminist that would not take being treated less than human because she is a woman

That feminist that would not turn men to gods that I need to seek approval from before doing anything

The feminist that knows her worth lies not in getting married or having children but in the development of herself

The feminist that would forever stand for rights of women no matter how much it is being seen as normal because of tradition

I am a feminist! I am a woman! I am a human being!

And I have Rights!

I am a feminist and I owe no one an apology for it!
I owe no one an apology for not wanting any one to dominate me in the name of culture!
I owe no one an apology for seeking to find me for me and not for any man!
I am a woman and a human being in my own right and do not seek validation from any man to live! Feminism is not evil, most people just talk from ignorance and shamefully they do not even want to learn!
Feminism is about a refusal to accept oppression or any form of degradation or violation of rights in any form protected by culture or tradition or norms because one is a woman!!
Feminists are humanitarian in nature, its the reason why these seemingly normal things are wrong in their eyes.
Feminism has the touch of humanity that mankind simply refuses to see because its different from the status quo
Nothing ever changes if the status quo remains
So I am a feminist and I am not changing it for anyone!!
