Topic: The Pros and Cons of Feminism the Eternal Debates
Audience: Laura Ingraham is an American radio talk show host, best-selling author, and conservative political commentator.
Intro: What is a definition of Feminism? Feminism is about all genders having equal rights and opportunities. It is about respecting varied women’s knowledge and strengths and striving to empower all women to realize their full rights. In the other words, we can say that feminism holds the position that societies prioritize the male point of view and that women are treated unjustly in these societies.
Topic sentence 1: Reading Laura Ingraham’s Book “The Hillary Trap: Looking for Power in All the Wrong Places” Chapter one titled “The Sisterhood Trap,” it becomes clear that Ingraham doesn’t understand what feminism is or how being a woman is a politicized concept in our country.
Supporting Evidence: Ingraham states, “For being a truly liberated woman means being your own person—not a victim whining for special privileges or a mindless soldier of anyone’s political agenda, liberal or conservative.” I disagree with Ingraham that feminism means whining for special privileges. When Ingraham says this, it is a total misunderstanding of what feminism is and why people advocate for it.
Topic sentence 2: Feminism does not entirely challenge the biological roles of each gender as it only intends to revolutionize sexism by creating equal chances and opportunities for women and men. Therefore, becoming a feminist normalizes women’s success and allows men to strive to achieve even more in life. Empowering women is not equivalent to taking away opportunities from men.
Supporting Evidence: “We Should All Be Feminists” is a TED Talk given by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. How true is what she said, “The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are”?
Topic sentence 3: Feminism is a powerful global movement. But gender matters. Potential to women feminism reinforces the idea of men as agents and women as victims. Modern feminism is confused with misandry, and it is as bad as misogyny. There are many stories explaining the positives and negatives of feminism. Especially in modern-day feminism has changed over the years.
Supporting Evidence: “Stop Fem-Splaining: What ‘Women Against Feminism’ Gets Right” by Cathy Young shows the point of women who decline that they do not need or want feminism. They feel that feminism humiliates stay home moms. Those women repudiate feminism but support equality and female empowerment. Young states, I do not need feminism because it has become confused with misandry which is bad as misogyny, and whatever I want to do or be in life. I will become through my own hard work”.
Topic sentence 4/ Opposing Viewpoint: Feminists Battled for decades to take power from men, to change the culture, and laws and they wanted equality. But now men can feel like a winner.
Supporting Evidence: In the article written by Zurita, Brenda: “Feminists Fought Battle and Men Won the War” the author states, “Feminists succeeded in giving men the power to have sex with no commitment or consequence, show no deference to women, save money by not dating, and forgo marriage. Women might have more education and jobs than men now, but they are at the mercy of sexually liberated men who don’t want or need to settle down”. That means women may be won equality but at the end of the day, men feel less responsible for women who want to be liberated.
Conclusion: Empowering women is not equivalent to taking away opportunities from men. Teaching the community to understand equal respect for women creates a good environment for success. Therefore, encouraging people to become feminists tune their minds away from cultural and social constructs that limit their understanding of gender on sexuality and roles and allows men and women to become whom they want to be without restrictions.
Topic Feminist
AUDIENCE fellow classmate
Most people have their own definition about feminist, it can mean a million things to a million people . Feminist can be a good and also a bad thing depends on the way we all go about it
Topic sentence 1 being a feminist should not make someone a less important in a society
Supportive evidence We all have the choice to be whatever we want to be, being a feminist or not we are all good and important in society and also to ourselves.
Topic sentence 2: some people believe that being a feminist means maybe you hate men or ladies even though that is not even close to the truth but people are free to believe whatever they want to believe .
Supporting evidence: being a feminist does not mean you hate men or women and not have anything to do with them. you can be a feminist and still love the opposite gender.
Topic sentence 3/ Being a stay home mom should not be criticized and women should not lower our status
Supportive evidence staying at home is a full time job for itself that can be a very difficult thing that takes patience and dedication to handle.
IN conclusion, being a feminist can sometimes be misunderstood but that should not define who we are. We all have the choice to become whatever we want so therefore nobody has the right to hate or look down on someone for their choices in this life.

Topic sentence three: Gender inequality in Nigeria is a complex variable that is part of the social, cultural economic, and political context in that country. The rights of women and young girls in Nigeria are just ignored.
Supportive evidence: “Women in Nigerian society are viewed as socially and legally inferior to men. It is opined that the level of awareness of the rights of women by an average Nigerian is very low.

Topic: Equality with some exceptions
Audience: Latin men
Intro: What happens if someone that is supposed to have a similar mindset as you, has a different one? What happens if that person still believes that women should be in the kitchen and the man needs to bring the money home?
Topic sentence 1:Being a feminist is a choice and an option that you have on how women should be treated.
Evidence 1: “If you are a feminist, you are not African and are corrupted by Western books.”
Topic sentence 2: There are women who fight against feminism and choose to be home in the kitchen.
Topic sentence 3: Sometimes women pay for men’s mistakes and how the government supports the damage that men impose on women.
Evidence 3:”there were medical report and they still didn’t do nothing.”
Conclusion:Even though I do not consider myself a feminist I believe we should all be treated equeally.
Topic: feminism
Audience: men and women
Intro: What is feminism to you? Feminism is a socio political movement that targets the equality women should have in society and not be minimized next to males. The way boys and girls are raised into gender roles and how men have to be strong and hard, it molds them into a set mindset where men are superior to women
Topic sentence 1: Parents do a great harm to girls by raising them to cater to men, to build or keep men’s ego strong.
Supporting Evidence: If you are the breadwinner in your relationship with a man, you have to pretend you’re not, especially in public, otherwise you will emasculate him”. This is what Chimamanda Adichie stated in her Ted talk “We should all be feminists”.
Topic sentence 2: not only do these gender roles affect women but, growing up with teaching boys they are in a way “superior” to women leads them to develop what the author Susan J. Douglas states to be toxic masculinity.
Supporting Evidence: she says “various studies have shown a link between men who embrace and act on toxic masculinity’s behavioral codes and a range of problems from, from fraught relationships to depression, alcoholism, rage disorders, assault and other criminal behavior, and suicidal”.
Topic sentence 3/ Opposing Viewpoint: Feminism is not to minimize other women but rather to get equality! Being a stay at home mom is completely okay especially for that fact that cleaning, cooking, kids, chores etc. are a huge responsibility and job on the daily and if that’s what works for you that’s great but for the women who don’t want to be a stay at home mom and want to have something more to them are the women who are fighting for the equality and the understanding of other women and men and society it’s self to view them past the “women in the kitchen”.
Supporting Evidence: Cathy Young states “some of today’s “women against feminism” fit the mold: they feel that feminism demeans stay-at-home mothers, or that being a “true women” means loving to cook and clean for your man”.
Conclusion: In conclusion this is a completely different era where fighting for complete equality shouldn’t even be a thing anymore. Women put in hard work and go to the same school take the same classes and possibly get the same degree as a man and will still get paid less because of gender.
