All The Women Who Independent, Throw Your Hands Up At Me

Women get told they can do it, that there as good as men, better than men, stronger, smarter, in no need of the beauty standards set. Why? Because feminism is beginning to tip the scale, no longer is it equality being sought after but certain neo-feminists want women to be better than men, a woman's world. Why? I literally have no idea.

*shock horror* people; MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT. THAT'S OK.

How annoying is it when you find someone exactly the same as you? I mean, yeah for the first week or so it can be great, but after that? Ridiculously irritating. Imagine every single time you wanted to eat pizza they did, every time you wanted to go shopping they did, every time you got an A on an essay they did, every time you started or ended a relationship they did. Nothing would be yours and nothing would be theirs, it would be so frustrating. You want differences in your relationships in general, in fact, you embrace them, so why can't we do the same with gender?

We've come leaps and bounds in terms of race equality, can we now do the same with gender? Please!  Yes, some of us have dark skin, light skin, straight hair, an afro, but no longer does that mean our pay cheques for the same job are different, or that one of us must serve the other. Yet, our genders still, apparently demand those differences.

I am woman so I can carry a child for nine months and then birth it, that doesn't mean that the child's father does not have the right to stay at home to care for the child while I work.

A man can sleep with whomever he chooses, whenever he wants and he is praised, if I do that as I woman I would be slut shame though I perfectly capable of doing so. Both of us are also always entitled to say no.

I am a woman and have been degraded for centuries so I deserve to be empowered, but a man is still a human, he deserves encouragement too. We shouldn't need international woman's day, every day should be international humans day.

 It sickens me that I have a driver's licence and received one with no opposition but if I were Saudi Arabian woman driving I would have gone through hell.
It hurts that I am free to marry whomever I choose but if I married a Christian, a man of my faith, in Sudan I could have given birth to my second child whilst in shackles.
It upsets me that if I became Chief Commissioner of the Met Police (life goals), it's highly unlikely I will receive the same wage as Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, and it will take me longer to get there as I will be penalised every time I need maternity leave.
It kills me that I'm going to have to teach my future children that no means no.

Sort it out people, please. So many want to take this journey to equality but we're not prepared to do it together, we need to though. Only together will our goal be achieved.
