TLDR
In my first post, I gave a brief overview and a brief history of feminism. Feminism has come a long way and accomplished a lot. There is still a lot of work to be done though. Until women and men are seen and treated as equals in every country the feminist's job isn't over.
In my second post, I talked about the phrase "like a girl." When using that phrase as an insult you are implying that being a girl is inherently bad. This is not true of course. But it makes you think about what society is telling people, particularly children.
The next week, I talked about meninism and how dumb it is. To reiterate: meninism is dumb. One more time: meninism is dumb.
The following week, I discussed beauty standards. The standards for beauty that society and culture is pushing on to people is equally damaging for both men and women. It's time we get rid of these damaging views on beauty and adopt the idea that everyone is beautiful. Or better yet, completely drop the idea that physical appearance is the most important thing.
My next post was related to the beauty standards post, I talked about skinny shaming and "real women have curves." I love the reason this meme was started, but skinny shaming won't end fat shaming. Hate won't end hate. So love your body whether it's curvy or not, but remember you aren't defined by just your appearance.
In my sixth post, I talked about the state of women and women's rights in Saudi Arabia. The condition of women's rights in Saudi Arabia is absolutely despicable. Women only recently got the right to vote. They still can't drive or go anywhere without a male chaperone. And to top things off, they get punished and blamed for their own rape.
The next week, I talked about the phrase "I have a boyfriend." I know a lot of men who don't know why women use this phrase and are often offended by it. Women use this as a gentle way of rejecting a man's romantic/sexual advances. In a lot of cases, men won't take "No thanks, I'm not interested" as the final answer. And in some cases this ends with casualties.
After that, I gave the history of a feminist icon: Rosie the Riveter. Rosie the Riveter started off as World War II propaganda to get women into the workforce. It became a feminist icon in the 1980s.
My last content post, I talked about justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is seriously badass. She's both accomplished and overcome a lot in her life time. You should look her up she's awesome.
Tldr: I summarized my previous posts.
