Why I Need Feminism by Priscila Acevedo

Cat calls, sexual harassment, rape, looks
People judge woman solely based on their appearance. Clothes and makeup are considered something only worn for attention. Presumably males.

Payment, sexuality, race, body
Woman to this day cannot be considered strong or as hard working as males. They get paid less and many times are hired for beauty and not brains. 

Safe, work, art, media
Being a person for women rights you meet others along the journey and start to feel and realize you’re not the only one feeling the way you do. You see people create and protest and you start to feel proud to be a woman.

Being a girl is hard. Period. It’s hard to do somethings on your own such as grocery shopping or walking down the street. Going out at night is even harder. You have to worry about someone following you or someone putting something in your drink. Rape is also a big reoccurring issue, I fear going to college because of the surprising statistics about how unreported or ignored the girls reports were. There’s always a chance of something or someone taking advantage of you just because you’re a girl. Your parents set boundaries so that you don’t have to go through any danger that might ,”snatch you up out of nowhere.”  Your school has a dress code policy that forbids you of showing your shoulders and knees like it’s going to distract the whole school and cause the fire alarm to go off because the boys are getting too hot off of your shoulder. It’s simply not fair that we can’t do what we want.

The only boundaries you should have  is the boundaries you set.
