After the Woman's March last week, I've seen a lot of varying posts from women and men, giving their viewpoints on the reasoning of the march. Some completely being behind it, and others questioning what rights are women denied. It's 2017, men and women are created equal, right?

From the standpoint of a college student (or a woman in her young 20's), I feel that I do have the same rights as a man, but they aren't always exercised by society or even, the government.

I wasn't able to partake in a march as I didn't have a way to one, but I really, really wish I did.

First thing first, I'd like to ask women who claim they have never felt like their rights just as a woman have ever been victimized;

Have you ever left the house?

At the tender age of 13 or 14, I can recall being catcalled while walking to my MIDDLE SCHOOL bus stop, by men old enough to be my father. So you're telling me, you're okay with your daughter growing up in a world where she's being sexualized, but probably hasn't even gotten her first period yet? Next.

Aside from voting, which seems to be the only argument people who are rebutting the Woman's March seem to be able to make; I think I reserve the rights to my own vagina, as every woman does.

Oh no, I said the 'v' word. Calm down, you'll be okay. (And if you cringe at that word, it's probably because you sexualize our own reproductive system and you are part of the problem.)

When people start telling me, or any woman, what to do with her own bodies, such as abortion or contraceptives, and then the government takes away funding because it's a 'choice', or other people don't believe in it, we're all being personally attacked. Whether you believe in these things or not, your opinion shouldn't contradict whether I have affordable access to birth control, STI/STD screenings, cancer screenings, and yes, even abortion.

STDs, pregnancy, and rapes hold the highest rates amongst college students, which leaves us financially in distress as is. So you're telling me, if I was raped at a party, I shouldn't be able to make the decision of having an abortion, or even being able to afford birth control in the first place, or get screened, because of your personal preference towards it? Fuck you.

Oh, and my rapist might only get three months of jail-time because he has a bright future and is a college athlete.

And to think, we are so incredibly lucky to have a president who wants to grab all our pussies and wouldn't let any of this happen.

Then after having at least $200,000 worth of student debt, I'll have to work twice as hard, three times if I was black, Hispanic, or any minority, to get to the same position as a man who I'll only make .78 cents for every dollar he'll make. Hey, but at least I can work because we as women, earned that right! There's no unfairness going on here at all.

These are just some of things as American women, we have to face. Not to mention our high rates of domestic abuse, the corruption of body imaging the media produces and having to constantly defend and explain why we feel the way we do.

Some of my favorites are how I can dress revealing and expect to not be groped. Or, how I listen to rap music, and now apparently can't expect to be respected as a woman, because of what is being said in a song and the girls he has in his video?

The girls in those videos are CONSENTING to being sexualized, which makes it absolutely okay, not to be confused with you grabbing my ass in a club because it looks nice in my jeans. Also, music is very often exaggerated. In Bohemian Rhapsody, they killed a man and he even told his mom about it, but you people still sing that at the top of your lungs. Yawn, next.

I completely understand that in other countries, women may have very little to no rights at all. They are mutilated sexually, and don't even have the right to speak, amongst other horrid things. But I'd like to think, in the 'land of the free' where we are SUPPOSED to have these rights and aren't in a third world country, that our own country could be at a point of not having to focus on our own problems, and help these countries.

I should be able to walk down the street peacefully, without being followed by some creep or even groped because the government and my society believe in my safety, but apparently not. I should be able to afford screenings, birth control, and whatever else I feel is necessary for MY health, but apparently not. I'd like to think that if I was taken advantage of, under ANY circumstances, I would have the support of fellow women, my society, and my government, but apparently not. So, even if you believe that we have nothing to be fighting for, that's fine. I'll fight for our future daughters, nieces, sisters, because I think we've earned the right to our vaginas.
