Why live in a world like this?

If some coerce us to believe that feminism as a matter has been stretch to the limit of proportionality with nothing in it left for women, then I would like to ask them why women uphold nearly only 20% of seats and do their jobs with approximately 23% pay gap compared to men. Why it is the women who gets beaten up? Why it is the women who are asked to wear "appropriate clothes"? Why we grow up learning about princesses who lived happily ever after only after meeting the prince. 
So rather than hear about the stigma men feel in terms of taking care of kids, I’d like for men to think more about the stigma that women feel when they’re trying to build a career and a family. And then measure whatever angst they’re feeling against the real systemic forces that devalue the labor of women. I think that’s what’s at the root of much of this: When some people do certain work we cheer. When others do it we yawn.

  • We need feminism because after marriage, the woman is expected to take the man's last name and move into his house.
  • We need feminism because along with clothes and toys, even chocolates like 'kinder joy' come in boy and girl flavour. 
  • We need feminism because female foeticide is still practiced in parts of the world today. 
  • We need feminism because majority of building companies appoint men as labours expecting women to be weak at the job, thereby reducing job opportunity and increasing unemployment. 
  • We need feminism because marital rape is not rape and any kind of rape criminal can walk free in our country and most of the time, the victim is blamed.
  • We need feminism because alcohol excuses a man's actions and condemn's the woman's. 
  • We need feminism because the woman is asked to wear un-exposing clothes instead of the man being taught to stop staring.
  • We need feminism because in remote areas widows are still obligated to burn themselves to be with their husband while the widower can re-marry.
  • We need feminism because women need to carry pepper spray to feel safe on the streets at night.
