    Without people willing to defend women against things...

    Feminism

    Since my opponent failed to post an argument, I will assume he/she means feminism in America. I consider myself a feminist because... 1. Women are horribly objectified and demeaned in high school especially. If you look at any study done on the topic, you will find that as a girl gets older, she devalues herself more and more. Why you may ask? Well, look at the title of this point and you'll know why. I consider myself a feminist because if girls are given the support that they need emotionally and mentally, they hopefully would see themselves as people, equal in every sense, human. Without people willing to defend women against things such as sexual harassment and objectification, we couldn't call ourselves evolved as a species. I do want to clarify that I'm not a feminazi. I don't protest because a woman didn't get enough screen time, no, that's not me at all. I am in it because as human beings it is our responsibility to help our fellow humans and by calling myself a feminist I can effectively identify with people as someone who will not be a sexist jerk. vote me
