Feminism still necessary in the modern day

In response to “The men strike back at sexism” by Ethan Chatagnier, I really have no problem with paying for a date’s meal, because my mommy has provided me with delicious home cooked meals for over twenty years. Ramen and Taco Bell can’t compete with Swedish meatballs, stir fry, and tarragon chicken. Mmmmm. Yeah, I have killed the spiders for my sister, but hey, she lets me lick the beaters when she bakes cakes. Even trade to me.

The idea that feminism is a relic, something needed in the past but no longer relevant, is a myth. I know my younger cousin, one day, is going to be approached by some macho guy who asks her to go take a ride in his back seat. Thankfully, she’ll probably tell him to get lost. Still, I know if she says that to the wrong guy, he will decide no means yes and force her into that car and there is a 50 percent chance she will never even tell anyone about it.

I have a sense of humor, but taking shots at feminists really is like shooting fish in a barrel. They just want to make the world better for their mothers, sisters, and daughters. When my aunt was a nurse, she was propositioned for sex by the doctors and they claimed it was part of her job. When she complained to her superiors they told her “to grow up.” I am happy that the world is no longer that bad, thanks to feminists.

Also, men talk about their penises enough without giving them a stage and two hours.
