“Feminist Politics: Where we stand” really made me think about the wrong idea of feminism that I already held in my head based on experiences, tv shows, and even school. When I think about feminism, it is the idea of women fighting for their rights, for equality against men. Females creating a movement to go against men is the first thing I think about when I hear feminism. I’m not sure where this idea comes from, but I think the word feminism naturally was defined that way in my head because of the narratives they partially illustrated, not the whole story. According to Bell Hooks, “ As contemporary feminism progressed, as women realized that males were not the only group in our society who supported sexist thinking and behavior – that females could be sexist as well – anti-male sentiment no longer shaped the movement’s conscious- ness.” (Hooks, 3) As women, we are already brainwashed by the idea of us having a disadvantage, and it creates this behavior in women to find their human potential and go pursuit it against each other.
