If not me, who? If not now, when?

 View the video above for a revolutionary aspect. 

It is no denying that the need for actions against gender inequality is crucial.
 Feminism is a movement that will some day, hopefully, be history until the time when every solitary woman on earth will have her rights and live a life not masked with false pretense, shielding years of mental or physical torture or live in the shadow of men around her, not because she doesn't have it but is obligate to, but instead will live a life where she is respected and treated as an equal in economical, political or social standards. 
It’s hard to be told to lighten up because if you lighten up any more, you’re going to float the fuck away. The problem is not that one of these things is happening, it’s that they are all happening, concurrently and constantly.
These are just songs. They are just jokes. They are just movies. It’s just a hug. They’re just breasts. Smile, you’re beautiful. Can’t a man pay you a compliment? In truth, this is all a symptom of a much more virulent cultural sickness—one where women exist to satisfy the whims of men, one where a woman’s worth is consistently diminished or entirely ignored.

Bonjour! About me

Welcome to my blog about Feminism! In truth, I am a fifteen-year-old girl from the city of dreams, Mumbai or as those true of heart would prefer to call it still -Bombay, trying to make the world a better place from inception and the fact that it needs amelioration, a fact, which I hope everyone empathizes. I come from a progressive lifestyle and an open-minded school atmosphere, which prevails a prestigious understanding of events conducted globally and the want for refinement in subjects that need proliferating mindsets. And as a pioneer amongst several pioneers, by this school assignment, that is all I wish to do. I love reading and in fact I cannot think of a single day in the past five years that I’ve spent without a book due to my flooding bookshelves and easily accessible online bookstores. And I also do that one thing everyone secretly loves but only some are considered to be sensations -I write. Due to the heart-warming reactions I get for it, I have also taken up the homicidal task of finishing a novel for my grade 10 Personal Project. Although I am a socially awkward retard, I tend to feel at home once I’ve known you long enough and have been proved to be an embarrassment in public places. I am also in touch with my artistic side and have voluntarily devoted my next few good years to numerous fandoms and food -you know, just like your average fangirling, tumblr person.

Hola

Substantially, a fifteen-year-old teenager upholding viability in an abiding country on a liberal planet can be fighting for privacy in the course of her/his life for the better half of their time one might thing. But with affirmative assurance, i can guarantee you that the former is not the case and in fact ironically, giving the substance paradox is an over whelming reality and in any case, this blog might be giving that verisimilitude.

I hope my blog is in your likeness and that i have successfully managed to intrigue you by the ideas i am trying to impose off it.

We are a growing population and it is in our hands to make the world a better, much secure and habitable place. So it shouldn't matter what age, race, gender, sexual orientation or class we fit in.

Please comment what you feel. [it's for a school project]

xoxo
