I loved reading and learning about Feminism from this week’s reading. It opened my mind to understand better and think outside the box.  To me and what I have learned is Feminism: is a range of social movements, political movements, and ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. The word feminism is sometimes misinterpreted and associated with female superiority and hatred of men, although most people probably agree that feminism can mean the desire for social and economic parity. There is so much baggage surrounding this term that clarification of what feminism is and is not, is essential. Indeed, the way feminism has developed has not been pretty. In some ways feminism over the years has evolved away from its noble purpose of creating awareness and defending women’s rights to creating new ridiculous ‘belief systems.’ feminism has become more like a medium for angry women to vent their hatred and frustration towards men. This definition goes completely against the true meaning of what feminism entails. Feminism can be defined as fundamental respect for others and the desire for equality between men and women. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. According to the reading “Feminist Politics Where We Stand” that many people think Feminism is and ways only about Women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think Feminism is ant male which is completely wrong and we as people have to be more educated about this and make sure this we do not misunderstand what feminism actually means and what it brings value to our community to make the world more equal and better for everyone. I am deeply saddened to see even in 2021 in so many parts of the world females barely have their basic rights. Since our society continues to be primarily a “Christian” culture, masses of people continue to believe that God has ordained that women be subordinate to men in the domestic household. Even though masses of women have entered the workforce, even though many families are headed by women. Lastly, Equality between women and men refers to the equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of women and men and girls and boys. Equality does not mean that women and men will become the same but that women’s and men’s rights, responsibilities, and opportunities will not depend on whether they are born male or female. Gender equality implies that the interests, needs, and priorities of both women and men are taken into consideration, recognizing the diversity of different groups of women and men. Of course in our society many people believe that women shouldn’t work, they should listen to men, etc. Again we have to educate them to change their thinking because the way they think it’s completely wrong.
