Sexism?and?victim-blaming are concepts that many people have difficulty understanding. The fact is, sometimes it’s hard to wrap one’s mind around a concept ?that they’ve never seen or experienced. Razzytastic of Tumblr has created this simple cartoon that puts the issues into a visual.
There is a growing faction of women in the U.S. who say that they “don’t need feminism.” This is so short-sighted. Just because they haven’t been victimized doesn’t mean that others haven’t and to not show support for other women is reprehensible. They may not need feminism today — but they will someday. They can count on that.
