Dispute some prior belief feminism has not overcome its obstacles. Negative stigmas associated with feminism remains prevalent today. False assumptions that feminism main goal is to belittle man is irrelevant to the real reason why feminism is so important to the human issues in today’s world. All human should be equal with the free choice to choose. Some may not feel the effects of limited choices, however, there is still some woman facing discrimination. Cavanaugh article focused on the belief that every person should be treated
There has always been a stigma surrounding the topic of women’s health, especially the reproductive kind, as the world has set standards for a how a woman’s body should be. The stigma begins where, unfortunately for the world, women’s bodies oftentimes do not comply with these standards. Because of the rifts between expectation and reality girls are shamed, oftentimes unconsciously or via systemic responses and interactions. It becomes an ingrained and understood conduct, teaching girls that their bodies exist for objective purposes, and it lays the foundation for developing insecurities. Bodily insecurities tend to run so deeply that even women in adulthood shy away from taking proper care of themselves. Because of how taboo discussing women’s
Feminism has become an ugly word. Some say it does not even live up to its definition anymore. However, the definition remains unchanged in the pages of history. Webster’s Third New International Dictionary’s definition of Feminism reads, “The theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.” If one digs deep into this definition, beyond the surface of society’s view on feminism today, one can see that feminism would benefit both sexes. The true ideals of feminism break down gender roles, thus benefitting men, women and future generations.
Throughout history, women’s rights have had less rights then men. In the short story “Trifles,” written by Susan Glaspell, there is a search for the victim of a murder case and the women are discriminated. In the “Yellow Wallpaper,” written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a woman is in a limited lifestyle were her husband, and has to deal with having less of a say in conversation. Constant communication of feminism throughout the world will allow everyone in the world to realize that equal rights between genders are normal. Feminism is a necessary aspect of the human race until society gives equal rights to women so they can feel important when they give their opinion, can have a relationship that is not controlling, and get an occupation that men are controlling.
For years, women have fought to gain the same rights and treatment as men. Those women that have been fighting to gain equality have been held back and their opportunities have been stripped away from them due to the simple fact of being women. “Feminism is the belief in social, political, and economic equality of the sexes” (Scholz 2013). The feminist movement has been the key factors in helping women gain equal rights for those who have been underprivileged of their rights and equivalence that society refuse to give to them. A woman has every right to be treated equally to men and feminism is accomplishing this slowly. Feminism is not only beneficial to women, it helps both men, women, and children because it is allowing the communities
The challenging and discordant opinions regarding gender equality have origins in various schools of thought, across time and place. Modern feminism heavily borrow from these old ideas and expounds upon them. Feminist worldwide are renowned for the action they must continually take that challenges the negative societal and stereotypical norms

Gender Equality is a big issue throughout the world, but what exactly is it? Well to answer that, it is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on gender. Today, most women are getting treated differently compared to men. Whether it is based on pay gap, power, or strength the problem comes up. Men think they are stronger and better than women and this upsets women because it makes them feel like they don’t have a place in this world. This is where feminism comes into place. I chose this topic because I can relate to it more than the racial option, although now it could be about the same.
Sexism is one of the biggest issue on our society which is why there's a conflict between men and women and there’s many reason why both side disapprove to each other. Many women around the world experienced harassment from people, because of their physical appearance and bias information of how should women be like. In United States, where should everyone treated equally and tells that gender equality does exist, which men and women are supposed to be treated equally. On many situation when it comes to rights today, it shows that the feminist are killing the chivalry. Eventually women have the support of vast majority when it comes to issues about sex assault situations. Men are sometimes the victim of sexism, from the hate that they get from
Feminism is one of the most controversial topics in modern society today. Even though not everything feminism promotes is right, there are undeniable problems with gender inequality not just in the United States but also all over the world. Women’s portrayal in the media, advertisements and literature works has been something that feminists are trying to change. They also suffer from incomprehensible treatments at work, at home or just about anywhere.
Women and men around the world join together for equal rights and fair treatment. Van Deven explains the importance and roles that males give feminism:
Hamlet: In The Eyes of a Feminist Through examination of Hamlet under the feminist lens, socially constructed gender roles evidently play a huge role in the socioeconomic abilities of all human beings. Society’s idea of gender provides both advantages and disadvantages for people. Through close examination of the social, political, and economic context rooted deep within Hamlet, the differences between how both Ophelia’s and Hamlet’s parents treat them clearly emphasize a plethora of examples of inequality between genders. When feminism comes up in everyday conversation, many people misconstrue its intent with extreme messages such as “exclusive power for women!”
One might claim that feminism is not needed, men and women are equal all around the world. But, that’s not the case. Yes, I won’t deny, we have made progress in making equal stronger between men and women. More and more women around the world are being able to vote and run for office, but many still aren’t able to vote at all. There are still major issues that women are facing. I will inform you of these issues later, but these issues create great obstacles in the lives of these women. They need feminism to allow themselves to get over these obstacles, and there is no denying it. Another might say: “They
In conclusion, feminism is still relevant and necessary now a day because the Stanford rape case showed that women are held against their words and do not receive equal opportunity in the court room. Women are expected to be above and beyond and never make a mistake in their lives, but for males’ that is the opposite, as they are allowed to make mistakes and pay little to no price for
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.
Throughout the last century, women have had to fight to have the same opportunities as men. Women have had to earn the right to vote, the right to have a career, and the right to autonomy. However, these are all rights that men have simply been given, which is why today’s feminists work to promote equality. Despite these efforts, feminism is often misunderstood and is interpreted with a negative connotation. According to a study conducted by Precopio and Ramsey (2017), “feminism is commonly recognized as a movement driven to grant social, political, and economic equality to both women and men.” The participation of others besides women is crucial to the spread of equality among the genders. Furthermore, the stigma and negative feelings surrounding feminism must be reduced in order for the ideals of feminism to have a greater impact.
