Fun Facts About Feminism!

Well, today I'm here to tell you some facts about feminism through fun, so that I can convince you, throughout laughs, to be a feminist (if you aren't yet).

So, I think we should start right away.

*Stupid theme song starts*

1. Feminism is like Wi-Fi: It’s everywhere and, when it works, it makes everything better. But some people still don’t understand how it works, and they just think it’s for “those people.

2. The bra-burning myth: No, we didn’t all gather in a circle and burn bras. Honestly, if we did, we probably would've made a bonfire to roast marshmallows instead, because who doesn’t love a good marshmallow?

3. Feminists are just women who like equal rights: It's not that complicated. But if you’d like to make it complicated, sure, we’ll throw in some discussions about intersectionality, patriarchy, and the gender binary. But really, we just want fairness.

4. Feminism: The original "Girls’ Night Out": Did you know the first wave of feminism basically started at a slumber party? Except instead of pillow fights, they were debating women’s rights and writing posters. No one wanted to go to bed!

5. Women invented the first computer algorithm: Ada Lovelace is widely considered the first computer programmer, which means the next time your phone crashes, you can blame the patriarchy.

6. Feminism is older than you think: Ancient Egyptian women had legal rights and held powerful positions, so yeah—feminism was already happening before your last selfie.

7. "The F-word" isn’t scary, it’s just misunderstood: “Feminism” sounds all intimidating, but really it’s just like a good pizza: everyone loves it, but some people refuse to acknowledge that it's as good as it actually is.

8. First female astronaut? A feminist with a space helmet: Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to fly in space, and she didn’t just fly, she proved women can handle the vacuum of space (and maybe some vacuuming at home too).

9. Hating on feminism is like saying you don’t like pizza: You can have your reasons, but, at the end of the day, you’re missing out on something that’s pretty universally awesome.

10. Feminists are experts in multitasking: We can fight for equal rights, run a household, and still have time to debate why Harry Potter is the best movie saga ever, all in the same day.

So next time you hear someone say "I'm not a feminist", hit them with some of these facts and share the love!

This was all for today's post,

Have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night,
