Haley Stewart·Follow2 min read·--Is feminism needed in 2024? The short answer is yes, always! But why? Nowadays, women have the same legal rights as men but are still viewed as lesser. This mindset begins at a very early age. Think back to your elementary school days. Boys and girls were treated differently.
