Gender equality is not a goal from which women alone could benefit. It's a goal from which men would also benefit, as all genders would be freed from arbitrary standards they feel compelled to abide to. Whether you are a man or a woman, be a feminist, fight for gender equality, and the whole of humanity will benefit from it.

Why I need feminism #22, #FreeGhonchehGhavami
Ghoncheh Ghavami is a 25 years old woman who has British and Iranian double nationality.
She was emprisoned in June 2014 for attending a men's volleyball match in Tehran.
She is still in jaip, no clear charges have been made, she hasn't been able to see her lawyer and her family has only seen her 4 times since her emprisonment.
There are no news as to when she will be released.
