Feminism

A political movement that seeks for equality for men and women. Feminists do not claim that women are better than men in any way. Both men and women can be feminists, as no gender is claimed to be superior.

Person 1: 'Feminism is so important! We should show the world that women are better than men. All men are rapists!' Person 2: 'Actually, that's very a very sexist thing to say. Begone, thot, you ain't no feminist.' Feminists believe that men and women have equal rights, e.g.: -Both men and women should be able to wear make-up. -Both men and women should be able to not wear make-up. -The percentage of rapists is actually very small, but all cases of rape should be taken serious. Everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. -Men and women should be payed equally. (in 1963, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law in the USA, but studies show that there is still a gender pay gap that varies between aproximately 9.1 percent and 70 percent.)

Feminism

Feminism was never about equality, its simpler than that, it's about who gets what, just like war.

In a war, a group of people sees something another group has (be it money, power, or resources) that they have a (usually) financial interest in, and they decide they want it enough to take it. Once the other group has it, it's hardly ever shared equally with other groups, it's just a different group that has it now. Feminism is the same thing, the intention of a feminist is not equality for all human beings (it's never been that selfless), it's who gets what, it always was who gets what. The equality rhetoric has always been a distraction that sounded good to the most varied groups of people. There is no such thing as everybody wins, there is only who gets what. Negotiation is one person or group trying to talk another person or group into giving up or surrendering, it's never been in anyone's best interest but the ones trying to get other people to negotiate or compromise.

Feminism

Feminism (noun) The advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. Feminism at its core is about equality of men and women. Critics argue that equality is not possible because women are not the “same” as men. However, feminism advocates equal rights and equal access to opportunities. Men and women do not have to be the “same” to have the right to equality.

As a social activist, Gloria Steinem was instrumental in bringing feminism to national attention in the late 1960s.
