✶ Last Class: Feminism

Two hundred girls (from 10-16 year old) were kidnapped inside their own schools. There were two reasons for that. First, for a political territorial definition and second, to define who owns the bodies of those girls. This is a discussion that is running the world, because women can't take this situation anymore.
Feminism calls for equality, the end of the domination of one gender over another. Feminism is not the opposite of man sexism. That is a system of domination, and feminism is a struggle for equal rights.
So if you say "I'm not a feminist, I think everyone should be treated equally and have the same rights" you  are saying, actually: "I'm not a feminist, but I am a feminist." And if you say you are humanist, then you should know that humanism is a moral philosophy based on human reason and ethics, which places the individual above the supernatural and superstition and that has nothing to do with it.
Feminism doesn't fight against men, but against the system of domination, which previleges males and was created by men.
