I'm around women that inspire me constantly. Whether physically or mentally, these women are always there. I've met them on my travels, I've met them through day to day living, and in mere passing. They may not always physically be there, but it both comforts and satisfies me in knowing that they exist. Yep, the notion is undeniably pleasing.
Feminism to me, is not the act of hating men, that is a horrible misconception. Ultimately it is nothing and everything to do with men; it is simply equality. Women deserve to have the equal rights of men. We are capable of little and of all, just like men. Yet it saddens me to admit, that women are actually one of the biggest hinderance in our equality. There are still an overwhelming amount of women out there that slut shame, judge, and belittle each other. And for what purpose? to feel better about themselves for a moment? How can that possibly weigh up. It is truly heartbreaking. And it has me screaming, Where's the mother fucking sisterhood?
We've come so far, mentally and physically. We are not just physical play things, even though we are damn right visually appealing - all you beauties out there are perfection. So we have vaginas, and yes this can lead to occasional and uncontrollable emotions and sassiness, but that's not such a bad thing, in fact it's kind of brilliant really. So let's let our sassy side out, and put it to positive use already. As individuals we have a tiny voice, but together we can be an unstoppable force. A roaring circus of lady tigers that will not be silenced, but heard! Be appreciated and accepted by one and all, whole heartedly and 100% as equals of equal importance, equal rights, and equal awesomeness as human beings. Utilise your negative energy and put it to positive use, you'll feel satisfied for it - trust me - and suddenly you'll feel empowered and more alive than ever. You'll want to do good.
As for men, can a man truly love vagina without first loving woman and everything we encompass? Just a thought… Humans everywhere, I implore you. Love first yourself, once you do you can fully appreciate others, you will lose your urge to judge, and humans everywhere will start to appear equal. And perhaps the world will become a slightly better place, or at the very least you'll be a better person for having chose love over hate, acceptance over judgement, and just the desire to live as one. For this you may call me naive or an ignorant fool, but I sure as hell would rather be a fool that illuminates positivity and love for all then sit on a stoop of judgemental hate and insecurities.
Now to all my sisters out there, repeat after me 'I have a vagina and I'll scream it from the mountaintops with pride.' Go you good va-jay you! Scream on.

Postscript: There are many links I could share for sisters that are getting it done, but for now I leave you with Caitlin Stasey and Herself. Just because it's a slice of wonderful empowerment.
