14 Quick Reasons It's Time You Became A Feminist

Stop freaking out, this doesn't mean you have to wear a t-shirt saying you're a feminist. Ever.

1. Feminism Is Just A Word

When anyone say the words "I am a feminist", people generally freak out thinking "this person is a f**king psycho" and "how do I stop talking to them?". There is a huge taboo associated with the word but when you take a look at the actual meaning it kinda makes you into a giant dick if you're against it.

2. Feminism Is Not That Scary

You can shave your armpits. Promise.

3. You Don't Have To Dress Like A Granny

Modern day feminists prove you can care about equality AND still wear what you want, when you want, how you want (cue Beyonce). In fact, that's what it's all about - advocating for people to be able to live their lives not feeling judged, objectified or even targeted for what they wear or how they act.

4. Feminism Is NOT Man Hating

It's about EQUALITY bitches!!!

5. It's Not A Major Lifestyle Change

You can be a feminist and not scream it from the rooftops.  From now on it's not mandatory for you to introduce yourself as: "Hi, I'm Carl.  I'm twenty one from Kilkenny and I'm a feminist".

6. To Be Down With The Kids, Yo

Being a feminist right now is so fetch (is that a thing yet?). Even Benedict Cumberbatch is doing it.

7. You Don't Have To Be A Party Pooper

You can have feminist viewpoints and not be a niggler on the smaller stuff (aka when the inevitable "girls why aren't you in the kitchen making me a sandwich" jokes roll in you don't have to go psycho bitch on their ass).

8. Because Men Earning More Than Women Is Just Plain Stupid

This shit has got to stop.

9. You Don't Have To Be A Girl

Your private parts have nothing to do with this.
