“If you think you don’t need feminism, that’s ok. I’ll respect your choice. But practice some altruism. Be informed, and think about how maybe other people do need feminism, and the potential damage you wreak by condemning feminism as a whole. And if you’re in a position in your own life where utter gender equality has been reached in all facets of your existence (really?), then reach out to others who may not have reached their nirvana of gender equality.

When no woman has to fear for her own safety or ownership or decisions about her own body, then we won’t need feminism.

When all brothers and sisters can access the same quality education, opportunities and future as the other, then we won’t need feminism.

When all women can choose if, whom and when to marry and have children, then we won’t need feminism.

When no woman dies in childbirth from reasons preventable in the 21st century West, then we won’t need feminism.

When all girls, regardless of culture, have the choice and knowledge that she can be anyone and do anything she chooses, we won’t need feminism.

But until these things are the norm, we do need feminism. Look beyond yourself. We’re all in this together.”
