This is why you should LOVE Feminists

If you are a woman and you

* can vote

* are not the legal property of your husband once you marry

* can decide whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term

* can be educated

* can earn your own living without being "one man away from disaster"

* value your own sexual freedom and lifestyle choice

* can get custody of your children in a divorce

* believe that domestic violence is not something women just have to tolerate

* can choose to marry or not, have children or not, work outside the home or not

* believe that rape is a serious crime, even when the rapist is not a stranger

* believe that your intelligence is not something you have to hide


If you are men and you believe in the dignity and worth of your mothers, wives and daughters and want them to achieve their highest potential...


I am sure there are many others, but it seems to me that we all benefit when women are considered "people" and not property or serfs.


And this bogus argument about stay at home mothers: Who was it who first proposed that women get PAID for housework?

Just asking.
