Reading reflection 2:

“Feminism Is For Everybody” by bell hooks: After reading the first chapter of her book “FEMINIST POLITICS “, I fancy everything she said because I realized how wrong I was about feminism. I never had the chance in my life to read in detail about that subject. Feminism is actually not a movement against men, but it is a movement to end sexism. Women are not looking to be equal with men or to be superior to them. Mass media made people think that women are just looking for freedom from this revolution. Freedom is everyone’s right but it doesn’t mean there is no justice. Male domination should end and more opportunities for women in social work must be created. Both equalities for men and women should be at the same level. It should not be any impact of sex, race, or color in hiring somebody for example, or how much salary she/he will get. Women nowadays are looking for a better system where no sex is likable than the other. The new definition of feminism must be more familiar to people because what I think is that many people still have wrong thoughts about feminism which is very sad, especially in our generation.

    Hi Imane,
    I feel the same way about “Feminism Is For Everybody” by bell hooks. That reading really opened my eyes about the feminist movement. Like you said, I had a very different definition of feminism and feminists than what hooks explained. While these definitions do seem to change depending on circumstance, hooks’ reading gave a great definition that should be the standard. It really provided a good understanding of feminism and the history of the movement. Feminism definitely should be more familiar!
