We need feminism because girls are shot in the head for going to school. We need feminism because women are burned alive for refusing to submit to grotesque male desires. We need feminism because women are under-represented in every sphere of life except being wives and mothers. We need feminism because one in five women in the UK experiences sexual violence and is usually blamed and shamed for it. We need feminism because we are taxed for our bodily functions. We need feminism because women’s bodies remain politicised, scrutinised, fetishised.
