Our social media feeds often contain much more than just innocent puns and juicy innuendo. If we keep our eyes open, every now and then, we can notice important social topics popping up alongside funny relatable TikToks and mind-bending Twitter threads.

Even more so if we follow accounts that are consciously trying to make statements and spark discussions. Like the Instagram page 'Nasty Feminism.'

Calling itself a "leftist activism-based" online project, it unapologetically shares hot takes on a wide variety of issues, ranging from racism to migration and everything in between. Here are a few of their most popular posts.

Yah, I'm struggling to understand that too. Very much. And many of these are considering bleach injection or horse deworming medication. I guess this will remain the biggest mystery for me.

According to a 2020 Pew Research Center survey about gender equality, many of the values of the feminist movement have been accepted across the political spectrum in the United States, even among Americans who don't personally identify as feminists.

For instance, a majority of Democrats and Republicans say it is very important for women to have equal rights with men. Similarly, majorities in both partisan coalitions support adding the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

But feminists are much more likely than non-feminists to say the country has not gone far enough when it comes to giving women equal rights with men (74% vs. 39%). Feminists are also more likely to say the bigger problem is people not seeing discrimination against women where it really does exist, rather than people seeing discrimination against women where it really does not exist (81% of adults who identify as feminists say not seeing discrimination is the bigger problem, compared with 53% of non-feminists).

These and other forms of video surveillance are sometimes the ONLY evidence and there are still attempts to suppress it.

The researchers think these differences can be somewhat explained by partisanship: feminists are far more likely than non-feminists to identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party.

Overall, Democrats and those who lean Democratic are more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to say gender equality is very important, and they are more than twice as likely to say the country has not gone far enough in giving women equal rights (76% vs. 33%). And while most Democrats (85%) say the bigger problem is people not seeing discrimination against women where it really does exist, a much smaller share of Republicans (46%) say the same.

THIS is being "triggered". THIS is PTSD. Too many people think that you can't say certain things or talk about certain subjects because it might "trigger" someone... but it won't. I'm sure this woman is perfectly comfortable talking about the subject of assault without any dramatic results. But she smells a specific laundry detergent and this happens. "trigger warnings" are impossible because what actually triggers PTSD is completely unique and specific to the individual situation. A soldier might get PTSD when he hears a car backfire, or fireworks. But won't be "triggered" because someone is talking about bombings or war. -- This might seem like a bit of a weird rant, but I find it annoying how people are misusing and the term "triggered" as a result trivializing PTSD.

Triggers are different for everyone, and everyone processes their trauma differently. Someone absolutely can be triggered by hearing or reading about something. Please don't invalidate those people just because your experience is different.

You aren't going to get people out there who understand triggers (and triggers are for SO many different issues) until they have a trigger. and scent is the longest lasting sense. Basically, some people (men and women) will be very understanding. Some will be as cruel as "you haven't got over that already?"

I was repeatedly molested by my first stepfather from age 6 to 8 when he died. The smell of liquor on someone's breath still makes me feel like the world is ending at age 63. Stepfather #2 was the wonderful man I proudly called my Dad, He chased the nightmares away but the smell trigger remains. I don't think that ever goes away.

At least 50 years and 40 years, so far me. Destroyed everything I ever wanted to be. Who I am now, is the best I can manage. To say it was a dark life until the last 10, would be an understatement. My rapists won. Still here though. 5 pts for me

I had almost fully blocked it out. I was aware it happened, I was aware of the specifics, but I didn't remember a lot. Until my doctor prescribed Ambien. ALL memories came back and I essentially relived everything while driving to work. I could see it happening. Looked it up, and Ambien is a trigger for depression. In my case, it brought back memories I had suppressed for over 25 years. (There are some specific things that trigger panic attacks, but I and my husband are aware of what they are and try to avoid the triggers).

My mother was raped at age 12. It affected her entire life. She died in 2006. It has affect her children their entire lives. According to my therapists, sexual abuse has affects that are multi generational.

As all movements do, feminism has evolved greatly since its beginning in the 19th century. Another 2020 Pew Research Center survey found that overall, the public feels the feminist movement has contributed to the advancement of women's rights in the U.S.: 22% say it's done a great deal and 48% say it’s done a fair amount.

But 43% of adults who say feminism describes them very or somewhat well also say the movement is polarizing, and 45% would not describe it as inclusive.

However, Cynthia de las Fuentes, Ph.D., past-president of American Psychological Association's Div. 35 (Society for the Psychology of Women), thinks such negative perceptions derive from media distortion-not the movement's mission of equality for the sexes at work and at home.

She also believes that many simply don't realize that equality has yet to be achieved.

"A lot of young people think that women's rights have already been accomplished," said de las Fuentes, an associate professor at San Antonio-based Our Lady of the Lake University. "We've got Title IX; we've got laws against gender discrimination. But they don't realize there are still so many forces against women's rights, like reproductive rights and pay equity. We still have 73 cents on the dollar a man earns."

Luckily, as the popularity of this Instagram shows, people appreciate the reminders.

Not matter what happens to this woman, she'll be able to look at herself in the mirror, because she has retained her humanity. Can those seeking to jail her say the same?

Yeah, I see those arguments a lot. Things like "He did have a counterfeit $20 bill!". AND THAT MEANS HE DESERVES TO DIE? Since when is there a death penalty on counterfeit bills? Or just on having priors? Or on sleeping in your bed? Even if someone is a real criminal, there is still a) no death penalty on their crime or b) a police is not a judge, jury or executioner and can't kill someone even if there's a death penalty on the crime.

School boy for me was fairly bland. School girl for me was a mix of normal and sexualized. And as a straight woman, I'm not in the habit of searching for sexualized females of any kind, so this is built into the search engine, not me.

The most disgusting thing about all of these things is that women need to dress in a particular way in order to avoid being sexualised. How about men start seeing women as people rather than objects?
