This is why I need feminism.
Now, how would this look if race was a factor?
From here. Not terribly granular but illuminating nonetheless.

This is why I need feminism.
I need feminism because women don’t make as many groundbreaking discoveries or do as many earthshattering things as men do. That sounds like less of an ‘us’ problem and more of a ‘you’ problem. When females do great things they get recognition for it, in fact, the one name that pops into my head one I think of Nobel Prize is that one girl Malala Yousafzai. Just remember, great things happen not with quotas and requirements but passion and devotion.
Oh my fucking god did you just use Malala being a Nobel peace prize winner as evidence of why feminism isn’t necessary and everything is equal WHEN SHE WAS LITERALLY SHOT IN THE FACE FOR BEING A WOMEN’S RIGHTS ACTIVIST? ! !?! ?!?!?!
Those are just 10 of the women in the sciences who have largely been erased by history, despite their significant contributions to science. But nice try
Dang and those are only in the last couple centuries. Imagine all the women scientists, explorers, activists, and healers who’ve been denied credit and left out of history in the last millenia. Women who have contributed to where humanity stands today. Women who deserve recognition for their achievements.
