An open letter to women who don't need feminism

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.
