I accidentally became a housewife. This piece originally appeared on DAME.
I never thought it would happen to me. After all, I grew up in the heyday of second-wave feminism, raised by parents who encouraged me to think of myself as equally entitled to anything boys got—I even received a Tonka truck for my fourth birthday (though when my father accidentally backed over it in our driveway it was never replaced).

It's a call to end misogyny, inequality and violence against women -- and an end to lumping all women together, as suspected gunman Elliot Rodger did in his angry YouTube videos. "You girls have never been attracted to me," Rodger said in one of the rants. "I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me but I will punish you all for it. " Under the hashtag #YesAllWomen, women have been sharing stories of what they've had to put up with, from discrimination to sexual assault, while pointing out the many ways misogyny has become almost acceptable.
