A Horror Of Isms By Madhu Kishwar

In this drama, she also brings the idea of feminism. She is an outstanding woman teacher who can survive among hundred of male senior high school students and many expert male teachers. She knows how difficult it is to struggle among men at that time.

One of the first points Kukathas brings up is the idea that, despite what some may choose to believe, there exists a serious conflict between multiculturalism and feminism. Kukathas agrees with Okin 's definition of feminism- "the belief that women should not be disadvantaged by their sex, that they should be recognized as having human dignity equal to that of men, and that they should have the opportunity to live as fulfilling and as freely chosen lives as men can". Kukathas 's broad definition of multiculturalism says that it deals with cultural diversity, "not by assimilating, or expelling, cultural minorities but by accommodating them". These two definitions can easily come into conflict, as many cultures around the world are patriarchal, with women having lower status than the men of the society. Naturally, feminists are not likely to condone such a culture. Thus, Kukathas agrees with Okin that there is

She uses unique words and phrases, metaphors and descriptions, and witty but informative tone. She opens the readers’ minds up to what the world we are living in is becoming. It is everyone for themselves, therefore every individual should become educated on every subject that they can handle. There is no possible way someone should overeducate themselves; it is just an impossibility. Imagine what life would be like if eventually everyone only knew about what their degree was in. There would not be many conversations, no improvement in the quality of life, a shorter survival rate, etc. The worst feeling in the world is feeling useless or worthless which could happen if you do not expand your knowledge. Go out in the world and learn what can be learned by observing, reading, studying, listening, asking, tasting, touching, smelling, or anything that helps you learn. The world needs more intelligence in every area. It is time that we take a stand and educate ourselves and others as much as we possibly

Another thing she said that made me realize how true her statement was with the novel that we studied during this term. She stated that:

Feminism is women’s rights and how to exploit them, making life easier and better for them. These women have been working hard for decades and have helped the economy grow. These women also need support to help make this world and not get discriminated against because they are women and aren't as strong as guys. Help women believe that they are doing good work and that they are just as good as men. Women’s rights are important, how women’s rights has changed over time, and finally they should have more support when it comes to work and politics. Women’s rights are important and they should have more support when it comes to work and politics.

The modern definition of feminism: “an ideology that, in its most basic form, directly opposes sexism by supporting gender equality and portraying women and men as equal.” (Finsterbusch 59). This definition was the early direction towards treating women like human beings rather than a housebound body, and this is why feminism should not be viewed as a harmful ideology. By exemplifying the importance of the ideology of feminism, by refuting those who claim that women have used feminism to exploit their personal wants and desires, and by presenting women’s first hand encounters of inequality, case studies, sound arguments and documented research one will be persuaded that the ideology of feminism is not discrimination towards men, but rather an encouragement for a woman’s rights and equality.

The way she wrote made it seem like she has informed us yet giving her input on what she believes is right and wrong in the English language. She casted her judgement on topics such as the Oxford comma, feelings on specific grammar rules, and so on. However, if she would have not written in her perspective, it could’ve been a lot harder to follow and understand, as she was stating a great amount of facts throughout the entire

Her perspective was effective because it was from an average Christian perspective. I appreciated this approach because I am a Christian. However, I also think her message can be appreciated by non-Christians because she still had some brilliant ideas for social changes. The author focused on how the average citizen can make a change for the future. I agree with her that change will happen in the future generations.

Her comment “power of number” stands out to me, for the mere fact that not only must we stand together as “one” we must learn to live together as one, and we cannot show up in numbers if we separated by political

Standing without a universal definition, “feminism” has become a dark portion of Women’s Rights, becoming increasingly linked to extremists. International Women’s Day has combatted this association however in this advertisement by not limiting its audience to Women and leaving its message undefined. While this does allow any extremist to interpret the advertisement in a radical manner it also avoids any direct association with them. Neutrality is significant with this delicate topic because it can be the difference between the support of a group and the eradication of

Feminists, by questioning that line, can find the need reevaluate their political position and how they relate the issues of feminism to other ideas and movements. The realization that feminists should constantly

Thesis Statement: The actual meaning of feminism is not that women are above men, it is instead the importance of anti-sexism, and anti-gender discrimination.

Feminism by definition means the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social and economic equality to men. But many a time’s people restrict the boundary of these forgetting the very important element of diversity of women living in different places and in varied situations.

Feminism in India is a set of movements which defining, establishing and defending equal political, economic and social rights and equal opportunities for Indian women. Feminist criticism was not inaugurated until late in the 1960s.Behind it, however lie two centuries of struggle for the recognition of women’s cultural roles and achievements and for women’s social and political rights marked by such books as Mary Wollstone Craft’s A Vindication Of The Rights Of Women (1792), John Stuart Mill’s The Subjection Of Women (1869), and the American Margaret Fuller’s Women in The Nineteenth Century

She makes an important point when trying to go beyond the female (otherness), by paying careful attention to differences among women themselves, and by putting emphasize on the multiple realties that women faces, and by that trying to uncover universalist interpretations (Parpart and Marchand 1995:6). She reveals the inadequacy of binary categories by showing us how power is defined in binary terms, between the people who have (men) and the people who do not (women). This is a consequence of seeing women as a homogenous group, and contributes to the reinforcement of the binary division between men and women (Mohanty 1991:64). By assuming that women are a already constituted group with the same experiences and interests, gender is looked upon as something that can be applied cross cultures (Mohanty 1991:54), and it also produces an assumption about the “average third world woman” as poor and uneducated, in contrast to the educated, modern Western women (Mohanty 1991:56). Implicit in the binary analytic lies the assumption that the third world woman only can be liberated through western rationality. Mohanty is making an important point when emphasising the need to challenge these objectifications (Udayagiri 1995:163).
