What Ticks You Off

2) What "ticks you off"?

Make a list of four or five things that "tick you off." Explain why. (Choose significant things that others might experience as well. For instance, your little brother might tick you off, but there is little chance that this annoyance will yield a possible paper topic). It is possible that one of these annoyances can be transformed into an interesting, engaging, and researchable project.

What ticks me off is feminism being look down upon. Many people shockingly think that feminism is a "waste of time" because they think women just want feminism so we can make it seem that we're the better gender. However that is not true. There are so many reasons why feminism should be taken seriously and not lightly. A lot of women are unfortunately raped because of what we wear. A lot of women get paid very little as oppose a man just because, well he's a man. Some people have a mindset that men are superior and we should be scared of them, and work in the kitchen cooking and cleaning. However, feminist think both genders should be equal and not think one should get less respect because of their gender. People still use the excuse "Boys will be boys" but why does that matter? Raping women should be taken lightly because "boys will be boys"? Women should get paid little because we're apparently living on this earth to stay home and cook all day, just because of our gender? Wrong. Feminism does NOT mean we're the best gender, it means we want equality and I can't seem to realize why some of those people think otherwise.
