“You need two things to feed feminism: one is theory, and the other is rage.”

What feeds your feminism?

In Spain it was the "wolf pack" rape trial.

If last year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) saw record numbers of Spanish women take the streets, this year’s confirmed the fact that feminism had reached critical mass. Police estimated 350,000 people rallied in Madrid, 200,000 in Barcelona, and 50,000 in Seville and Bilbao – the biggest turnouts among hundreds of others throughout the country. Surveys indicate that nearly 65% of Spanish women under 30 consider themselves feminists today – double the number of five years ago. Describing this younger generation of feminists, Isabel Cadenas, a 36-year-old spokesperson for the group that organises the annual IWD march, said: “They know violence for what it is in a way that we didn’t. They’ve been raped, they’ve been harassed, they’ve been abused, and many became feminists that way. It’s easy for women to become feminists when they realise that their problems aren’t unique, but collective.”

Oh god, I read that this morning. Standard response of feeling sick, afraid for my daughter and wondering what wtf is wrong with men.

I wish we didn’t need to be made angry by such appalling abuses in order to mobilise in pursuit of equal treatment, but we are where we are.

If they touch one of us, they touch all of us
