More Reasons For Feminism

   I often get asked why I'm a feminist, and there's always a ton of different ones. But this one's the most important. Women own around 1-20% of the world's land, which you might think is pretty good (the numbers vary because sources state different things, but they're all within that span). I mean 20% is not that bad, right? You know, besides the fact that women make up 50% of the world's population, and yet they only have a small share of the world's land. That says a lot about how the world is built, how it works and why we need more feminism. Because having land is an indicator of wealth and how well you are doing, your economical stability. And the fact that women own only a few percent is a huge sign that something's not right.
   Women make up the majority of people living in poverty, who starve and are homeless. This is partly due to the fact that in most parts of the world, it's hard for women and girls to get an education, they don't learn to read or write, not even in their own language. And it's even rare for women to work, because in very many cultures, there is a standard for women, saying they should be a mother, focusing on taking care of their family before anything else. And of course, that's amazing, if you yourself choose that.
   That's what feminism is really about. Not making women work, not taking away the pride and joy from being a stay at home mom and raising their families. Feminism is about giving women a choice, and honoring that choice no matter what it is. You want to be a mother of five and that's your biggest dream? Fantastic. Do you want to become a lawyer and start your own firm? Amazing. Do you want to live in celibacy in a cottage, 50 miles away from everybody? Perfect. Do you want more time to figure it out? Awesome.
   Because men already have that. Men can be fathers, and work at the same time. They can become whatever they want, they can be doctors, lawyers, financial advisors, whatever. But women aren't able to do that, unless you're living where I live, or any other country like it. I can do whatever I want here, I can become whatever I want, and it completely breaks my heart that there are people who can't do that.
   There are woman who can't read, who don't go to school at all, who can't write and can't calculate anything. That's why I'm a feminist, because I think everyone deserves the chance to study, to learn and to be successful.
