I support equal pay and equal rights... there are many area's in which women are exploited and mistreated by men - in countries like The Kingdom, Somalia, and Afghanistan, and even still in countries such as the UK and the US.
Women are still paid less for doing the same jobs, there is still a glass ceiling. (how many female senators or MPs are there compared to males for example? how many female presidents has America has?) A rabid hooligan like Chris Brown can brutally attack even a well known celebrity and get nothing but a community service order. Statistics show that 1 in every 4 women in their lives will be the victim of a serious sexual assault. Until society can address issues like this - feminism is very much required.
