Why Do You Think About The Feminist Movement

Feminism is a movement that I have never really claimed myself to be a part. I have nothing against those who want to stand for what they believe in, but I think there’s a way it should be done. Feminism is something that I have questioned a lot and have looked into. I am completely for women feeling empowered; however, I find many things that I disagree with when it comes to the feminist movement. I’ve listed five of them: 1.

I’m average. I don’t hate you, I’m not looking to take over the world, and I certainly don’t own a “free the nipple shirt.” So if I were to tell you that I was a feminist, you may be surprised. And that’s because our idea of what a feminist is, is entirely distorted. Those responsible for this distortion however are not merely immature boys and even more immature men, but many extremist feminist groups who in an attempt to gain equality, are creating an even larger divide between the two genders

our ancestors experienced. The Women’s Rights Movement all began in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York. (History, Art & Archives) A group of women began to advocate for gender equality. If it was not for that movement, we would not be able to vote, divorce a man, work, have freedom of speech, etc. So, why do so many women believe in equality but do not consider themselves to be a feminist? I am going to begin by talking about the Women’s Rights Movement that started in 1848. Elizabeth Cady Stanton

2017 Feminism; is it really as bad as we think? Intro: When someone says, they are a feminist majority of Americans seem to think of a woman who is angry at society, wanting justice for all the bad things men and the government have done to them. Someone who just plain hates men and is not in to “girly” things.

I'm not a feminist- and that's okay By:Margarita Buenaventura In the article entitled “I’m not a feminist- and that's okay”, Margarita Buenaventura admits that is not feminist. And when she did, all her friends asked her questions like; do you not believe in gender equality?, do you hate women?

Lucy Siale is a young Tongan activist who describes herself as “loud, outgoing, rambunctious, and passionate”. She is known for being unapologetically woke, or aware of social issues, and proud of her Polynesian heritage, posting about current social issues on Instagram and captioning her selfies with #MelaninPoppin. I contacted her over social media to ask her to be my interviewee on intersectional feminism, to which she excitedly accepted and made room for me in her packed schedule. On March 9

One question, has feminism accomplished anything for you? If you are male then the answer will always be no. This is because feminism is now about male discrimination and not equality. This is because feminism preaches equality but practices misandry. Feminists have come up with this idea of all men having “male privilege” which is completely false.
