Following the Women’s March that took place on Jan. 21, millions of people across the globe expressed their support for the mass movement. Naturally, a few individuals’ responses to the protest were less than enthusiastic. Upon reading the posts and articles circling the web, I noticed that all contained the same underlying message: They do not need the Women’s March or the feminist movement.
This is my open letter to those women:
When you hear the word “feminist,” it is usually followed by a groan or eye-rolling. You picture a group of overly dramatic, hyper-sensitive and man-hating women who whine about being oppressed and victimize themselves by claiming to experience issues that you do not believe exist.
