Male And Female Boston University Students Explain Exactly Why We Need Feminism
'I need feminism because my self-worth is not measured by whether men find me attractive.'
Too often, people around the world mistake feminism for a strictly female issue, forgetting that feminism – and therefore equality – is a subject that affects every single member of society, regardless of gender.
So, the male and female members of the Boston University frisbee teams have created a photo series detailing exactly why they need feminism:
'I need feminism because my work should be valued equally in the work place.'
'I need feminism because I shouldn't have to break a glass ceiling to achieve my goals.' #womeninpolitics
'I need feminism because sexual assault occurs on campuses without serious consequences.'
'I need feminism because my gender does not determine my abilities on and off the field.' #PlayLikeAGirl
'I need feminism because my appearance shouldn't determine my worth.'
'I need feminism because my sister deserves the same opportunities that I do.'
'I need feminism because women are strong, smart and incredible.'
'I need feminism because everyone deserves the same equal rights.'
'I need feminism because my self-worth is not measured by whether men find me attractive.'
'I need feminism because my mum and sister matter to me.'
'I need feminism because I'm afraid for my sister to grow up in Donald Trump's America.'
'I need feminism because my female friends deserve equal respect.'
'I need feminism because the number of X chromosomes should not determine worth.
'I need feminism because I want to travel alone without fear of unwanted sexual attention.'
'I need feminism because tampons and pads are still taxed as a luxury item.'
'I need feminism because the expression of emotion is not a feminine act, it's a human one.'
'I need feminism because I play like a girl.'
'I need feminism because my advisor asked me if I am sure I would be 'emotionally stable enough' for a career in pediatric oncology.' #GirlsInStem.
