Feminism

Feminism is the belief that women are equal to men and should have the same rights. The fight for the right to vote, seen in the women's suffrage movement, is a prime example.

Early feminism attempted to make society more sympathetic to women's needs, but now it is happy to let the girls act like boys.

Modern feminism is classified as trifles to stability on stage part 1.

Outside by Susan Glaspell, explain how the playwright uses the male characters of the play to reveal feminist themes. How do these men further Glaspell's feminist message?

No, of course feminism is not against the law.

Feminism is the movement seeking to make men and women equal.

Feminists aren't dumb, anyone who seeks to create a fairer society is anything but dumb. What would be dumb is continuing to support a system that oppresses certain groups of people, particularly when you are part of that group facing oppression and inequality.

The answer might seem shocking to most of us. I would have guessed about 54%, but i was out of the ball parks about 100 miles away.

The correct answer is 29%!!!!!

Achieve full equality with men.

Ecofeminism is often considered to be part of the third wave of feminism. This wave, which emerged in the 1990s, emphasizes intersectionality and the connections between various forms of oppression, including those related to gender, race, and the environment. Ecofeminism specifically highlights the links between the exploitation of women and the degradation of nature, advocating for a holistic approach to social justice and environmental sustainability.

Feminism or historical criticism. I simply can't see any Marxist elements here.

Feminism is the belief that men and women are equal, and should therefore be treated equally with no discrimination against women. For example, a woman should not be denied a certain job just because she is a woman. In recent times feminism has focused on removing unofficial inequalities such as the 'glass ceiling'. A common misconception is that feminists are all man-haters and lesbians, but this is certainly not the case.

As a young woman, feminism is relevant to me because I expect to be treated with respect regardless of my gender. I believe that feminism is relevant to all women - we take for granted the rights that past generations have fought for, for example the vote. Even if you don't agree with any of the candidates, you should still exercise your right to vote even if you end up spoiling your ballot paper, because other women have died to allow you to make that decision.

Feminist Improvising Group was created in 1977.

A feminist might say that Marxism doesn’t give sufficient attention to the role of women in capitalism or to the conditions for the liberation of women. This may well be correct about Marx’s own writings, but it is perfectly possible to combine Marxism with non-reformist versions of feminism.

It depends on what you mean by the "theme"-- if you are asking about feminism in a particular work of literature, you did not tell us which one. Also, there are many kinds of feminism-- the movement began in the US in the 1840s, in what is referred to as the "first wave" of feminism. Later, the so-called "women's movement" of the mid-to-late 1960s was the second wave. And in our current era, there may even be a "third wave." First wave feminists wanted legal rights for married women (under the law back in the 1700s and 1800s, a married woman was the legal property of her husband, which meant he could treat her any way he chose and she had little say); and they also wanted suffrage (the right to vote) and greater opportunities for young women to attend school and perhaps even have a career in addition to being wives and mothers.

By the 1960s, when the second-wave emerged, much had improved, but problems still remained. Women got the vote in 1920, and by the 1930s and 1940s, a few women were getting elected to political office; more women attended college and some even had careers. But women's opportunities were limited by prejudice-- called "sexism," the belief that women were inferior to men in intelligence and ability. Most women were only encouraged to be teachers, nurses, social workers, or secretaries; while these are certainly fine professions, the high-paying jobs, as well as the jobs with authority, arbitrarily went to men. Second-wave feminists (myself among them) fought to change society's attitudes about what women were capable of, and to expand the kinds of careers and opportunities women could have.

By the 1970s, more women were able to enter careers previously open mainly to men: they became news reporters and broadcasters; lawyers, doctors, business executives, etc., as a result of the efforts of second-wave feminists. Even the language changed-- most professions had ended in -man because it was assumed only men would hold these jobs (mailman, businessman, etc), but now, there were efforts made to make the language more gender-neutral. In the old days, you would read about a "woman lawyer"-- the assumption was a lawyer was a man, so if a female became one, it was unusual. Today, people just talk about "lawyers" because there are both men and women in this profession.

So, the basic theme of feminism have varied with each generation-- in one era, it was about equality for married women and laws that would protect them from being treated like property. In another era, it was about giving women the right to vote or have a career or go to college. In another era, the theme was equal pay and equal respect-- an end to sexist language and sexist treatment. With each new generation, feminism morphs to address the needs of the women of that time. (And by the way, it should be noted that it is a myth that feminists "hate men"-- what feminists hate is prejudice and sexism.)

They all challenge traditional roles and ideas and challenge what they see as oppression. Plus the LGBT movement and the feminist movement tend to overlap. It is natural that a number of lesbians are feminists and vice-versa. Gayness and transgenderism are sort of the flip side of feminism since those movements tend to liberate men.

yes

Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance which puts importance on human agency, supporting facts and reason over beliefs and traditions of formal religions.

Feminism is a movement seeking equality for women, to tackle issues of gender inequality and oppression within society so that women can be socially and economically equal to men.

These two things have no relation to each other.

Because back in the day woman moved in with there husbands. Tradition

This would be the wave that wanted to see results. They realized that violence was not getting them anywhere so they tried something else.

I think feminism will need to drop its militant misandry factions. The push back from males has already begun.

For example, there is no way that best of three sets is equal work to best of five sets in the major tennis tournaments. Yet the females, led by BJ King, are now earning the same pay (award money) as the males in those tournaments.
