17 year old Caitlyn Cannon wrapped up the school year with probably the most relevant quote you’ll see today.
The recent Oak Hills High School graduate from California said she found the quote on Tumblr and changed the parts that were written from a man’s perspective. Her choice was followed by her decision to leave something behind that was both different and true to herself.
The quote states, ““I need feminism because I intend on marrying rich and I can’t do that if my wife and I are making .75 cent for every dollar a man makes.”
In an email to The Huffington Post, Cannon stated “I was tired of seeing the same old quotes from popular books and movies and authors, and I wanted to call attention to a problem that women face, I’ve never really been ashamed to say that I am gay, so the LGBT aspect was simply who I am.”
Her friend tweeted the photo out yesterday which has since then, gotten over 6000 retweets.
