Feminism

The advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. Yes, the EQUALITY OF THE SEXES. The right to speak in public, the right to vote, the right to own property, the right to work, the right to choose to have children, the right to drive, to fly, to participate in national sports, the right to serve in the armed forces, the right to an education, to becomes doctors, lawyers, astronauts. These are some of the rights feminism has provided for the women of today, rights we can take for granted. Feminism does not give women rights over men. I repeat, feminism does NOT give rights over men. The social idealism of feminism can, however, be misused by certain individuals for the bashing of men and the scapegoating of women. Rape is not okay for anyone to experience, thus anti-rape laws. Physical and emotional abuse is not ok for anyone to experience, thus anti-domesic abuse laws. Discrimination is not ok for anyone to experience, this anti-discrimination laws.
