“Why we still need feminism!”…

WOMEN 

Are 51% of the population

But 70% of the poor

And 83% of single parents

Doing 66% of the work

Producing 50% of the food

But earn just 11% of the pay

And only 1% of the land

In case you wondered why we still need feminism!

— Willie Allen 

Wow, that’s quite shocking actually. I wouldn’t have called myself a feminist. I tend to be glass half-full, leaning toward compassion, empathy, understanding and allowing time for society to catch up, change and evolve. Given these current statistics, however, I’m feeling that women deserve some time at the microphone. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
