To think we've talked enough, seen enough, done enough sounds like something very unreal to me. Let's forget a bit about the isms on this thread and focus a bit on our human nature (yes cogsy that lol); we humans are made of constant change, we evolve, sometimes we just stay stuck on the same place, till we find the solution for a specific problem, but we never go backwards, we will always progress. Therefore to think all it's done and achieved doesn't seem of even feel to be logic. Had this thought been in many people's minds we would still be roaming around the dreadful Dark Ages, where no thinking and no progress was allowed, or worse we'd still be living in caves.
When we stop and look back to the history of mankind (yes cogsy mankind we'll tease about it later lol) we can see significant growth in all the aspects of life, but we cannot deny and think that it's all dones. There's still a lot to go, there's a lot more yet to come, and have we women, and when I say women, I am referring to all the women out there in the world who still do not have access to education, who are killed as babies because they have commited the sin of being born a female, who are forced to marry man much older than them, that are forced to marry as children, that are treated differently because they are girls, that are raped because they are women and wearing clothes men think means it's a code for such thing. When I talk sexism, when I talk feminism, I am talking about all of us, because the equality is not there yet, I don't see it. Can we vote? Yes and that's great, and do we have the proper representation on parliaments? No. Do we have the politicians really concered about women's health, equal pay and true equal rights? No, I am sorry but we don't, and to be honest I am not sorry about saying the truth as I study and see it.
There's a word called Sorority, it's about sisterhood, the true friendship and care from woman to woman, independing from country, religion, skin color, social status. I do have more rights than many, I have had access to good education, I have a job, I can vote, but that ends there. I am not treated the same way as a man is when it comes to respect. And I know that many other women in my country and in the world are excluded from the two rights I have just mentioned. And that feeling of sorority, of empathy makes me want to talk abou it, to bring the topic constantly to the spotlight, because the world isn't equal yet, future generations might fix it, but we need to keep fighting and talking and debating now.
And by the way, sexism is evil to both man and woman, it gives strict roles for both, making it impossible for both to really co-exist, so as the mother of a boy, the daughter of a man and a woman, and the sister of all the women out there, I say this sexism thing needs to be over, it's sickening to us all, and it's the root of many problems we have in life.
