Feeling attacked now I speak up about being a feminist

[thefinerthingsinlife]

Within the last few months I have 'become' a feminist, so bear with me (I'm still learning )

I have started speaking out about things that bother me and I get a similar response most times along the lines of theres "no need for feminism" and "what about the 'poor hard done by' men" and "agh stop being such a bloody feminist"

I feel like i'm banging my head against a brick wall.

How do you all deal with this?

Is everyone aware of the Fawcett Society? Named after sufragette Millicent Fawcett, it campaigns for equal rights etc. Well worth a look and a membership!www.fawcettsociety.org.uk

Re The Fawcett Society

In August, the Fawcett Society filed papers with the High Court seeking a Judicial Review of the government's recent emergency budget.

Under equality laws, we believe the government should have assessed whether its budget proposals would increase or reduce inequality between women and men. Despite repeated requests, the Treasury have not provided any evidence that any such an assessment took place.

Even a top line assessment of the budget measures show 72 per cent of cuts will be met from women's income as opposed to 28 per cent from men's. This is because many of the cuts are to the benefits that more women than men rely on, and the changes to the tax system will benefit far more men than women.
