How do you start an essay about sexism?
There are many ways to do this. As a writer, your goal should be to get the reader interested in the issue. You don't want to lecture or scold, but you do want to find a way to demonstrate what sexism is, and then discuss why it's a problem, concluding with your views on what needs to be done about it. One technique for starting the essay might be to catch the reader's attention: you might provide an example of something sexist, like a joke that makes fun of qualities women supposedly have, or a magazine advertisement from the old days that portrays women stereotypically. You could then explain what people used to believe, and why the joke or advertisement is sexist; this lets you continue with a discussion of how things have changed (and what changed them).
Another way is to briefly tell the story of someone who was the victim of sexism back in the old days-- there are many women who were denied a chance to go to college, or denied equal pay, or even treated like property by their husband or father. Abigail Adams asked her husband to "remember the ladies" when creating the laws for the new United States, but the Founders did not even give women the right to vote, and married women had few if any legal rights, even in the United States in those days. There are also victims of sexism in modern times. A good example is a Pakistani girl named Malala, who was shot by the Taliban just for trying to go to school and for advocating for education for girls. You can explore why some countries still deny women and girls equal rights, and then look at some advocacy groups that are trying to bring about change.
What are the issues and problem in evolving a feminist canon of Indian English writing?
Feminism in India has been a suppressed expression beginning in the early 18 century when social taboo,social restrictions denied a women freedom of expression as she was bound to maternity and domestic life in a male dominated society.There was some respite for the few elite females in the beginning of 19 Century when social reforms like Bramho Samaj propagated education for girls.The Gandian era saw the emancipation of women and writings.In the modern time the social ethos of Indian writing has taken a deep plunge in literature with redundant social themes influenced by western feminism merely to titillate and poor literary writing in mediocrity.A feminist genre in Indian English writing appears to be a void in literature both in Native and English language.

Who was the most feminist US Supreme Court justice?
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who joined the Court in 1993, undoubtedly qualifies as the most ardent feminist because of the time and energy she's devoted to women's rights during her career; but it's reasonable to assume Justices Sotomayor and Kagan are also feminists. I'm not sure their degrees of feminism can be quantified.
A feminist is an individual, more commonly a female, who supports the advancement of social and political changes to benefit women (as a class, since they are not a minority).

Why did feminists burn their bra in the 60's?
It symbolized freedom, like not shaving your legs and armpits, and going barefoot. This never actually happened - bras were not burned.
Why do not feminist shave their legs?
Why don't you use grammar correctly?
The answer is, you can't make a generalization about ALL feminists. I am a feminist and I shave my legs. I also don't shave my head. Shock horror I know.
Some feminists don't however because they believe in not conforming to an image that modern society (dominated by men) wants us to believe is beautiful. Why don't men shave their legs? Surely the issue of body hair is down to personal preference rather than being doomed to suffer the painful process of waxing just because you were born with a vagina?
And just in case you were wondering, the correct phrasing is "Why don't some feminists shave their legs?".
First wave feminism ended around 1920, because the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified, giving women the vote. First wave feminism had largely focused on getting the vote. Carrie Chapman Catt, one of the leaders of the Suffrage Movement (within first wave feminism), had in fact desired to make the suffrage movement so central to the first wave feminist movement, that she had bribed newspapers and used contacts in the press to get articles about other aspects of the women's movement removed, so that suffrage was the only issue focused on, in order to make it stronger. After suffrage was achieved, no other movements within first wave feminism really had any momentum, support, visibility, or resources, since so much had been thrown behind the Suffrage Movement, so first wave feminism ended, adn gave way to second wave feminism in the 1960s.
What would be main features of the feminist and machist dictaroship?
1) Feminist dictatorship
Women's rights: decision to have kids, raise kids, exploit men before, during and after the marriage, send him to jail without proof, use him as a bonded laborer, abuse him without punishment, control media and government. Take his kids and he is helpless, police only helps her. Only feminist investigate and punish men. Etc. (We have feminist dictatorship now in many countries.)
2)Machist dictatorship
The opposite. Hardly imaginable: he uses sex to exploit her financially, she has to pay for it! He controls her with kids, she has to work and give him money before, during and after the marriage, he can put her in jail just with his word, abuse her without punishment etc. Give me a break! Machist dictatorship has never existed and never will. Wome have been always more privileged than men and so will continue.
Socialist feminism is a branch of feminism that argues that liberation for women can only be achieved by eliminating capitalism. Socialist feminists view the profit-driven capitalist system as the main bulwark of patriarchy, and the driving force behind labor exploitation, poverty, racism, homophobia, anti-immigrant bias and war.
Classic Marxist writings in the 1800s by Frederick Engels (The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State) and August Bebel (Woman and Socialism) put forward a powerful explanation of the link between gender oppression and class exploitation.
In the 1960s and '70s, socialist feminism was a strong current of the women's liberation movement. Two groups, Radical Women (www.radicalwomen.org) and the Freedom Socialist Party (www.socialism.com) represent a socialist feminist tendency that has existed since the mid-60s. These organizations emphasize the leadership of the most oppressed -- especially women of color -- as crucial to achieving social change.
Writings on socialist feminism include:
