Thank a Feminist
Thank a Feminist (Author unknown)
If you're female and...
· you can vote, thank a feminist.
· you get paid as much as men doing the same job, thank a feminist.
· you went to college instead of being expected to quit after
high school so your brothers could go because "You'll just get married
anyway", thank a feminist.
· you can apply for any job, not just "women's work", thank a
feminist.

thank a feminist.

thank a feminist.

or have a male relative, thank a feminist.
· you get custody of your children following divorce or
separation, thank a feminist.
· your husband beats you and it is illegal and the police stop
him instead of lecturing you on better wifely behavior, thank a feminist.

not be arrested, thank a feminist.
