Feminism

“Feminist: the person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes” – “***Flawless” by Beyonce

Feminism is not just equality of the sexes. Feminism is striving towards ending sexism and not solely targeting equality for women. I believe that people have tried to shy away from using the term feminist because they have seen extremists either bash men or abandon feminine roles overall when representing themselves as a feminist when that is just a poor representation of the movement. I feel that feminism strives towards equity more so than equality. We do not want to be equal with men when we still live in a society that systematically benefits them. We want to aim towards equity between the sexes as it concludes fairness with everyone.
