First and foremost, we’re in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not some oppressive 3rd world country. Women here have rights, we can say what we want, dress how we want, and do pretty much whatever we want (within the confines of the law).
Moving on, if you’re going to bitch about how we can’t go around topless, then I will have to agree with you there. Like if a guy can show his nips why can’t women? Well the reason is simple, Western culture sexualizes the breast. There are studies and extra bs that may get thrown onto this post but honestly, idgaf. The point of this post is this… BIG FUCKING DEAL. So what? You can’t go around with your tits out, boofuckinghoo. You don’t have to cover your body from head to toe so stfu and deal with it.
Not all women live in fear, I repeat, not all women live in fear! I am so tired of seeing these posts about how women live in fear and we travel in packs to the bathroom (coughyouknowwhoyouarecough) for safety and all this bs.
Stop. Just. Stop.
I walk the streets at night and am fine, I have never had an issue that I couldn’t handle. If I get a gut feeling that something might happen, NEWS FLASH my gut doesn’t give two shits about your gender; if I get a gut feeling about danger it means that there may be a person I need to be cautious of, male or female. Cause let’s be honest, women are bad people too and do horrible crimes just like men do.
So, could you so-called feminists please STFU about how women do this and women do that cause honestly you don’t speak for all of us. And I highly doubt you feel the same as you claim on the internet.

The delegates were appalled by the lack of gender equality in America. They found the U.S. to be lagging far behind international human rights standards in a number of areas, including its 23 percent gender pay gap, maternity leave, affordable child care and the treatment of female migrants in detention centers.

The women discovered during their visit that women in the United States have “missing rights” compared to the rest of the world. For instance, the U.S. is one of three countries in the world that does not guarantee women paid maternity leave, according to the U.N. International Labour Organization. The U.N. suggests that countries guarantee at least 14 weeks of paid parental leave. Some countries go further – Iceland requires five months paid leave for each parent, and an additional two months to be shared between them. “

Another main area of concern for the delegation is violence against women – particularly gun violence. Women are 11 times more likely to be killed by a gun in the United States than in other high-income countries, and most of those murders are perpetrated by an intimate partner. While the Obama administration has talked a lot about combating violence against women, its efforts have been frustrated by Congress’ inability to pass new federal gun restrictions.

The women’s other recommendations for the U.S. include passing campaign finance reform that would allow more women to be elected into office, because the networks that raise money for political candidates are mostly dominated by men. They also suggested raising the minimum wage, which disproportionately affects women, and passing a federal law to stop the slew of new abortion restrictions in the states that are shutting down women’s health clinics across the South. “
While the delegates were shocked by many things they saw in the U.S., perhaps the biggest surprise of their trip, they said, was learning that women in the country don’t seem to know what they’re missing.
“So many people really believe that U.S. women are way better off with respect to rights than any woman in the world,” Raday said. “They would say, ‘Prove it! What do you mean other people have paid maternity leave?’”
