Remember, if you're a woman and...
* you can vote, thank a feminist.
* you get paid as much as men doing the same job, thank a feminist.
* you went to college / university instead of being expected to quit after school so your brothers could go because "You'll just get married anyway", thank a feminist.
* you can apply for any job, not just "women's work", thank a feminist.
* you can get or give birth control information without going to prison, thank a feminist.
* you can wear trousers without being excommunicated from your church or run out of town, thank a feminist.
* you get raped and the trial isn't about your hemline or your previous boyfriends, thank a feminist.
* you start a small business and can get a loan using only your name and credit history, thank a feminist.
* you have the right to your own salary even if you are married or have a male relative, thank a feminist.
* your partner assaults you and it is illegal and the police stop him instead of lecturing you on better wifely behaviour, thank a feminist.
.* you can breastfeed your baby discreetly in a public place and not be arrested, thank a feminist.
* you have the right to refuse sex with your husband, thank a feminist.
* you have the right to read the books you want, thank a feminist.
* you can choose to be a mother or not a mother in your own time not at the dictates of a husband or rapist, thank a feminist.
* you can see yourself as a full, adult human being instead of a minor who needs to be controlled by a man, thank a feminist.
Sadly not all women around the globe can enjoy these rights and priviledges, however when people minimise the role of feminism and the demand for women's liberation - it is easy to forget who few rights women actually had in the past few decades.

Magowie byli ludźmi cywilizowanymi, o wysokiej kulturze i wykształceniu. Kiedy mimowolnie stali się rozbitkami na bezludnej wyspie, natychmiast zrozumieli, że najważniejszą rzeczą jest zrzucenie na kogoś winy.
Ostatni Kontynent, Terry Pratchett
