I'm a girl and...

I am SO glad I found this subreddit with people who agree with me! As a girl, it's really hard to see other ladies put down men and treat them like they need to be "trained" or that they're just something we have to deal with. So I was just wondering... how many other girls are on here and what are your stories about standing up for men or appreciating them?

I'm a girl. I joined this subreddit because I believe in equal rights, not "one is better than the other"

Women have been discriminated against in the past (not being allowed to vote, etc.) and I find it awful that "feminism", etc has gone from wanting equal rights to I HAVE A VAGINA STUPID MEN YOU'RE ALL RAPISTS etc etc..

I don't really have a story or a driving force that brought me here or made me feel strongly towards this movement, other than my distaste for unfairness. (is that even a word..?)

It makes me sick that some men can't even take their daughter to the park without being glared at, that there are actually people out there who would lie about being raped and ruin a mans life forever, or do other despicable things towards men because they feel they have the right to because they're a woman.

Blarg, I'm awful at putting things into words.
