"As long as there are women who face misogynistic attacks from the media; who face rape but the rapists don’t face trial; who are told they are not beautiful unless they are thin; who are paid less than their male counterparts; who are seen as less instead of as more; who are beaten by husbands, boyfriends and fathers; who are unable to receive health care; who cannot escape the confirms of heteronormativity; who are educated to be nurses instead of doctors, teachers instead of engineers, secretaries instead of elected officials; until these and more realities facing women around the world disappear, feminism will remain."
