Why are you a feminist?

[Jessica85]

I've only very recently realised why feminism is so important. Not quite sure why it has taken me 29 years to get to this point, but hey ho. The thing that tipped me over the edge was the CE rape case - it opened my eyes to how many people don't actually consider women to be as worthy of autonomy and respect as men.

I'm now wondering how other people decided feminism is important, and if I'm just a bit dense in taking so long to realise. Anyone care to share?

It helped me forgive myself, and realise a lot of what had happened to me was not my fault

Absolutely this for me too
