Are you sure that "We don't need Feminism anymore"?
The statement that we don't need feminism anymore may be regarded as true by the women that British feminism has historically benefitted; mainly the middle/upper class, white women that the Suffragette movement of the early 1900’s was led by. In 1918, female property owners over the age of 30 were finally granted the right to vote in the General Election, which we regard today as a momentous achievement for British women. However, “property owners” clearly left out any woman who was poor. And Suffragettes such as Millicent Fawcett and Josephine Butler used the idea of superior British imperialism as a way to win their rights, through portraying Indian women living in England as enslaved and primitive. Through these concepts, white women were able to place themselves at a higher social standing to get what they desired.

Why the end of Trumpism isn't The End
Joe Biden has won! Everywhere on social media, I see the world celebrating his return to the White House; and more importantly, rejoicing that Trump is finally out.

But, because of that, it's easy to lose focus now.
