What triggers my anger is when that person who happens to be a female says: “I don’t need feminism. I don’t need to be liberated.”
How about you tell that to:
- that Moroccan girl who killed herself after being forcibly married to her rapist (x)
- that 11-year-old Texan girl who got raped by 18 men while the New York Times said she “dressed older than her age.” (x)
- Reyhaneh Jabari, an Iranian woman who was tortured in jail then hanged after killing the man who was going to rape her. (x)
-
Nojood Al-Ali from Yemen who got divorced when she was 10. (x)
- the 16-year-old girl from Ohio who got raped
and filmed at a party by 2 boys, while CNN reporters talked about the bright futures of the rapists as athletes. (x)
- the 94 women in Jordan who were legally married to their rapists, only in 2014. (x)
- the 8-year-old girl who was married to a man 5 times her age, and died on the day of her wedding because she suffered from bleeding and uterine rupture after intercourse. (x)
- the 25 Palestinian women who were killed by either their brother or father, in order to “protect their honor” only in 2013. (x)
- the 99% of Egyptian women and 90% of Yemeni women who have experienced sexual harassment (x) (x)
You still don’t need feminism?
I’m crying
