Equality, social justice—it’s 2022 and by now, many of us assume that it’d be common sense for more or less everyone to respect their fellow human beings, no matter their gender, race, or creed. However, the reality is very different. If you want justice, it’s a constant struggle, an uphill battle.
Despite progress having been made in the fight for gender equality in recent decades, sadly, there’s a lot of regression happening at the same time. Women’s rights aren’t as protected as they might seem. You only need to take a look at how Roe v. Wade was overturned in the United States to see that your rights are built on far shakier foundations than they would seem.
‘Fight the Patriarchy’ is a Facebook page that touches upon a wide variety of social issues, from sexism and misogyny to toxic masculinity and worker exploitation, and more. We’ve collected some of their most powerful feminist posts to share with you, Pandas. Scroll down and share your thoughts about these issues in the comments. Let us know what you care about the most, what you’re doing to make the world a better place, and what you think needs to happen in the world for there to be more justice.
A representative of ‘Fight the Patriarchy’ told Bored Panda that the page was started a few years ago “to help my fellow leftist intersectional feminists realize they can support preborn rights alongside the rights of everyone else. We don’t have to choose, we can fight against all oppression.”
Meanwhile, writer Ariane Sherine was kind enough to share her thoughts about sexism, social justice, and gender equality with Bored Panda. In her opinion, it’s the fear of women’s power and a resentment that they’re growing stronger that lie at the core of sexism and misogyny. “It’s not as easy to subjugate us anymore. Of course, men still hold most of the power and wield male privilege, but they’re being held to account more and more, and many of them aren’t happy about this at all,” she said.
