it's hard out here for a bitch

i stumbled across a quote the other day which said something like

"feminism ends when you meet 'the one', communism ends with an annual income of 25k and atheism ends when the airplane is about to crash."

for me this does not only sound condescending towards other's people's views but also quite uninformed.

i am not an atheist myself but i have quite a few friends who are atheists and their unbelief is not a matter of circumstances but they doubt the existence of god for evidence related reasons. 

and yes, there are people who wear che guevara t-shirts and anarchy stickers when they are 16 and later in their lives vote for the conservative party, but i would not call them communists.

well. and feminism is not about hating men. it is not about being single, or a lesbian. 

feminism is about empowering women, it is fighting for respect and about reclaiming the right to make one's own decisions, to define your identity yourself and to stand against objectification. 

and i don't think a girl met "the one", if he makes her questioning her self-worth and stop wanting others to respect her.

i leave you with this song, where lily allen puts it so perfectly: 

there's a glass ceiling to break, there's money to make,

and now it's time to speed it up 'cause i can't move at this pace

we've never had it so good, we're out of the woods,

and if you can't detect the sarcasm, you've misunderstood.
