The Oppressed Majority

Whenever I bring up feminism with a friend or acquaintance and label it as such the tension in the air often becomes palpable.  From my experience, most people will agree with you when you say that all humans deserve equal rights, but the moment that you label it feminism there is a hesitance.  People rebuke that the feminist battle has been fought, that we are equal and it’s time to drop it.  It seems evident to me that many people are still very threatened by the idea of individuals banning together to improve the welfare of others, especially when it is led by women.  Feminism has a long way to go, and I think that this video says volumes about our society and how far it is from liberation.
