In the essay, “Feminist Politics Where We Stand” bell hooks defines feminism as: “a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.” (Hook, pg.). This means, about how what feminism aims to do is end the injustice that has been created over the years with women. Since, she talks about how feminism is more about being able to have the rights that each person needs, focusing on women because long before when rights were created they said ‘rights for men’ and they did not generalize this phrase to include women. But these, they should be left without rights and not have the gender equality that has been fighting for all this time. They said Feminism it was just an excuse for women not to do housework, not have children, and be lesbians. Which with the passage of time, and with a lot of struggle this has been normalizing but even so, there some changes that happen with the feminism. In the story, Hook also explains how feminism began only as a movement of white women and that after a while, black women joined it in order to liberate any woman regardless of her race. Hook explains, “it made sense that white men were more willing to consider women’s rights when the granting of those rights could serve the interests of maintaining white supremacy” (Hook, ppg 4. 2000), emphasizing the desire for how feminism it was focused only on gender equality, being able to give the rights that by nature are needed by each person regardless of their gender. However, you can see how the mentality of the people who created the laws at that time was, since in itself, men did not want to give women rights just because, but they were trying to find a way that by giving these rights to women they have something in return. explain what you understand this definition to mean. Being honest, I saw feminism as a very radical way of seeking gender equality. As the reading explains at the end, I feel that many times some women today fight ‘feminism’ in the wrong way, since as stipulated, feminism is being able to be equal, and have the same rights as men. But, I have seen that some women do it in the wrong way since they show a not very healthy hatred towards men for no reason, there are times that they say they are feminists just for fashion and not because they seriously feel they want to be part of it, and the fact that they are no longer focused on gender equality, but are more focused on creating a matriarchy. They can have a balance between gender equality and there is no patriarchy or matriarchy. After reading “Sex and Gender” it was something that I was aware of, since it talks about the gender with which each baby is born, and that is why there is the male and the female, what if I did not know is that the intersex existed, which is the crossing of the chromosomes that cannot be stated if it is a girl or a boy. Which I find very curious and at the same time good, since when the baby grows up it can be assigned to a gender or just classified as he wants. What is happening today is that there is more understanding with the different genres and with what people feel they really are. Also, I am aware of how gender orientation may develop further and how different types of orientations have been expanded in a very healthy way.
