Feminism
It was like a trend last year, all girls proclaimed themselves feminists. We would see the following quote everywhere : ‘’ Girls run the world’’. Associating celebrities such as; Beyonce, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, to some girls it was simply to follow the trend but to others it really was what they thought was ‘’correct’’. 

Basically, this movement is justified and good but it’s to the extremes that it’s been brought during the last years. I agree about the equality, the equal payrolls, the importance of vote for both men and women, the value of both sexes, but last year it was brought to women ‘’rule’’ the world and THIS I don’t agree with. We defend something to be equal and when we are close to get it, we decide we want more and go beyond what is moral.

We’ve (women) been able to be prime minister, deputy, polices, militaries, firefighters, doctors, surgeons, engineers and much more but then again we want more.  Feminism is a great movement, in 1944 we were obtaining the right to vote, then we were able to access ‘’men’’ jobs and now a women can achieve actually anything. Just take a look at : Coco Chanel, Céline Dion, Michelle Obama, Oprah, Marilyn Monroe, Angelina Jolie, Kardashians, Ellen DeGeneres, Hillary Clinton not forgetting Queen Elizabeth II! WE women are extraordinary and with will we can achieve anything just like men. However, declaring ourselves as more valuable and ‘’better’’ than men, goes beyond ‘’okay’’.

In 2018, we would take a look at Instagram and we could observe a huge amount of accounts of teenagers and women who had the description ‘’feminist’’ in their bio. The questions we can ask ourselves here is why and what? What am I defending and to what point? Also, why am I defending it? Is it for the trend or for my belief?

On this note, I think clarifying the fact that I don't despise women that declare themselves feminists, I simply ask question and clarify what actually is being feminist and the changes it's been having since the recent years.
