Women Don't Sleep

The thing about feminism is that it is not something that will ever go away. It is more than a political ideology or activist movement - it is something so tangible within every woman, to some degree, that it will never just 'die out'. And it can't die out. Feminism is so crucial to the progression of society. So much progress has been made, which is important to acknowledge and celebrate, but there is so much more to do, a fact that is frequently overlooked. Women still need help everywhere in the world. There is still work to be done because feminism is not exclusive. The job isn't done once the wealthy white women of the world are content. Feminism is still needed in modern society, for the women of color who have been overlooked in the past, and for the women in dangerous or unfair situations to this day.

Entire industries still rely on the exploitation and endangerment of women to make hundreds of millions of dollars. And it does not matter if men view feminism as 'anti-men' or if it makes them uncomfortable. Feminism, at its core, is about complete and total equality. And I will grant that there are cases of feminism being used as an excuse for an 'anti-men' rationale, which is an individual issue that takes away from the entire point of feminism. There is nothing distinctly 'anti-men' about equality. Feminism is about women. All the women everywhere in the world, who still do not have the same protections, safety, or rights as men.
