Discussion Thread: Why We Need Feminism

[Content Note: Rape culture.]Earlier today, the comedian Wendy Liebman, whom I follow on Twitter, retweeted this from singer and activist Chely Wright:Something to consider twitter.com/chelywright/st…&mdash Chely Wright (@chelywright) November 30, 2012If you cannot begin to see the image, it is a photo of the youthful whitened lady supporting a handwritten sign reading through: "I want feminism because my college shows 'How to prevent Getting Raped' rather than 'Don't Rape' at freshmen orientation."It helped me think about all of the reasons I want feminism, that is concurrently overwhelming (that is my positive spin on "discouraging") and strengthening.Now I place it for you: Why do you want feminism?
