21 Posters Showing What Women Should ‘Thank A Feminist’ For

Thank you to the pioneer women who pushed for the rights of women. I proudly stand as a woman knowing I have these rights because of them and their suffrage to get us where we are today

The first university in the world in Morocco has been founded by a woman. Just saying

For this, I cannot thank them enough! Pants (jeans in particular) are pretty much my only type of bottom-wear all year round =)

Have survived several marriages to men who demanded to have total control over every penny, and wanted to fight if I wanted to buy something with my own money. They are no longer a part of my life.

In a lot of tribes is was the women who hunted and women who were warriors too. Women's role in society as a worker has changed over the years for many reasons. Women went to work during war, because the men were not there to do it. Queen Elizabeth was a Mechanic during WWII.

...and you are not your dad's/husband's property!

In "The Handmaid's Tale" women are not allowed to read.

It's so so sad that this is true.

It's really wild to think that women ever needed permission from men in order to use birth control, that's just disgusting

In theory....

In reality women do still lose their jobs because of this. It's just not as overt. The employer comes up with another reason.

This one is still not true for many places and, sadly, it's still considered normal and even acceptable for a woman to lose her job due to pregnancy, heck even just marriage. In Korea at least. Although, it seems that in the company where I work, we're lucky.

Well, we are getting there... maybe in a generation or two...

This is still a thing that happens.

Korean pop contracts for female artists specify that they are not allowed to become pregnant during the contract's period. Or even be romantically involved with someone. So yeah, sounds nice in theory.

I hear in some countries, maternity leave and parental leave are structured differently than USA and Canada to encourage men to take the same time off as women, which creates more balance and equality. Besides, why shouldn't dads get to/want to participate as much during those developmental years - especially when it benefits everyone.

Sadly, they can't fire you, but they can make life hell until you quit. I've quit several jobs who practice this disgusting method.

I never even knew this happened! This is horrible!

Uh..oh...i seriously doubt there are plenty of such employers in the world. Thank a good fortune as well

This is still very debatable unfortunately...

And all employers thank feminists for women that leave for years of paid maternity, while holding their company position as hostage. Because that has noooo effect on the company's efficiency whatsoever ;)

Also thank LGBTQ+ movements, they made same sex marriage legal!! Not all women want to marry males. :)

In islam your testimony only worth half of a man tho.

Being able to run is one thing, not facing prejudice and sexism if you try is another.

This is still a work in progress, and not just for women.

Without this one, I wouldn't have been able to graduate university, as both my mom and dad took turns to take loans each year. Thanks mom and dad (and thanks to feminism too).

Where my wrestling girls at? :D

Some people think its "disgusting" to talk about it in public. I don't get why, it's natural, like "Oh, she sneezed in public! disgusting!" both are natural.(Edit: I'm a female, my friends and I talk about it.)

Feminists is about giving women rights. The right to make a choice. It's not about picking a side on a controversial topic.

All ladies in the military, I respect y'all!!

Nobody does it in public here in Russia, mostly because it's too intimate a process for any strangers to see. Though I don't understand how this can be considered disgusting by anyone :-|

But a woman still can't walk around topless like a man can. Edit: I wasn't choosing sides, I was just pointing something out. And not because it's illegal or whatever but because women wouldn't feel safe doing so in places a man might be seen without a shirt.
