A partial list of rights women have that make a Day without Women important
A woman on Facebook decried the Day without Women March saying “don't these women know they already have rights? duh!” So let’s look at the rights that women have.
An individual's experience is not necessarily representative of the group's experiences. Just as a group's experiences do not represent the experiences of every individual in that group. If you still wonder why a Day without Women is important, you need to brush up on the facts and not your own personal experience, biases or beliefs.
- Women have the right to be catcalled; it’s a compliment.
- Women have the right to dress so that men and boys won’t get aroused.
- Women have the right to raise children; men get to walk away.
- Women have the right to be called the weaker sex.
- Women have the right to get paid less than men.
- Women have the right to clean the house.
- Women have the right to cook.
- Women have the right to do laundry.
- Women have the right to be penalized in the work force for getting pregnant or having children.
- Women have the right to be slut-shamed; men are just studs.
- Women have the right to be fat-shamed.
- Women have the right to be raped. If they don’t fight back, had alcohol, have had more than one sex partner, wore suggestive clothing, looked pretty, got a man aroused, are wearing pants are in the wrong place at the wrong time, are weak enough to let a man overpower them, they were asking for it anyway.
