Feminism

The figurative invisible barrier that blocks the promotion of a qualified individual in a work environment because of their gender, race, or ethnicity is called the glass ceiling. This barrier prevents individuals from advancing to higher positions within an organization despite having the necessary qualifications and skills.

Simone de Beauvoir, whose full name is Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir, was a French writer, novelist, philosopher, political activist and feminist. Although she personally never considered herself to be a philosopher.

She was born in Paris, France, on the 9th January 1908.
Simone is well known for many works, including her book 'The Second Sex', in which is a detailed analysis of how women have been oppressed. She is also known for novels, such as 'She Came to Stay' and 'The Mandarins', amongst other works.

She died on the 14th April 1986 of pneumonia in Paris.

There had been efforts since the 1920s to pass an equal rights amendment, but there was always resistance, usually from conservative men in congress. But as the women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s gained momentum, more support for such an amendment gathered, and it seemed it might finally become law. The woman credited with leading the opposition and stopping it from getting ratified was a conservative icon named Phyllis Schlafly (pictured above), who was successfully able to frighten many voters about the negative impact the ERA would have on society, how women would lose the protections they currently had, be expected to fight in the military like men, etc.

I have thought long and hard and I cannot identify any feminist themes in Frankenstein -- which is surprising considering the author.

Zora Neale Hurston wrote the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God a few decades before the 1960s. In the book, Hurston outlines and illustrates how poorly women are treated, and how little they are valued.

You need to answer this question because we don’t do homework. Your teacher is looking for your critical thinking skills and how well you understood the lesson. He/she doesn’t want our thinking.

It comes in five parts. 1.)The awareness of women that they belong to a subordinate group and that, as members of such a group, they have suffered wrongs, 2.) the recognition that their condition of subordination is not natural, but societally determined, 3.) the development of a sense of sisterhood, 4.) the autonomous definition by women of their goals and strategies for changing their condition, and 5.) the development of an alternate vision of the future.

Modern feminism is not misandry, in fact misandry is a myth.

Feminism seeks gender quality, which includes improving equality and the rights of men - if someone hates men or doesn't wish them to be equal to women then they are not feminists. Misandry is the idea that there is an oppressive system in place against men, but there is no system and the idea of anti-feminists that feminism seeks to oppress men is false.

Feminists have been motivated by a desire for gender equality, advocating for women's rights in various social, political, and economic spheres. Key issues include combating discrimination, securing reproductive rights, and challenging societal norms that perpetuate gender inequality. Historical movements such as suffrage and the fight for equal pay have also fueled feminist activism, as women sought to gain the same rights and opportunities as men. Ultimately, the motivation stems from a fundamental belief in justice and equity for all genders.

They fought for equality of women and LGBT people, and they still do that today.

Feminism Unmodified was created in 1987.

Anti Feminism was created in 1991.

It is just about culture. Boys and girls should have a right to have their own cultures.

Do keep in mind that the color meanings have changed over time. Pink was once a more masculine color since pinkness of the skin means you have good blood flow and exposure to the sun. So it was a color of activity and vitality. The pale blue associated with boys today was once seen as an effeminate color. Purple was once seen as just a color associated with royalty, but as toy makers started promoting the "princess" thing for girls, more girl clothes and toys became purple.

There will be different answers depending on issues of culture and religion. Ideally, in countries that have major elements of democratic government, men and women together make laws for the country. However even in the US with its long history of democracy, women are seriously underrepresented in governing bodies at every level. In some Islamic republics the question will seem absurd, because from their perspective there is no basis whatsoever for the participation in government and law making by women. It is perfectly natural and right that men handle every aspect of government and law.

The book affected the feminist movement because Betty Friedan raised the question - "Is that all?" It made women question their expectations of what being a woman meant. Before the 2nd wave of feminism a woman was meant to be happy with being a wife and mother, a carer, a nurturer, a homemaker. Some women rejected her ideas but others thought there must be more than this and they wanted gender equality. Betty Friedan was a leader of the feminist movement which advocated for equal pay, childcare, maternity leave and numerous other agendas. In essence the feminist movement of the 1960's is generally marked by the publication of her book, the woman was a catalyst. So, yes it really did affect the feminist movement.

Feminism is the assertion that women have been historically disadvantaged relative to men, and a commitment to changing oppressive structures. It is the movement towards the social, politcal, and economic equality of all people. Eco-feminism is a specific sub-set of feminism that opposes all forms of dominance: men over women, heterosexuals over homosexuals, and humans over animals (this last point is crucial in making it eco-feminism instead of just general feminism). Eco-feminism focuses on how hierarchies are linked and how these hierarchies affect not only people, but also the natural world.

Feminists believe that men and women should be equal within society. Modern feminism is increasingly intersectional, this means recognizing that other forms of oppression are barriers to all women becoming equal to all men - e.g. racism would stop a black women being socially and economically equal to that of a white man. Feminism thus believes in tackling issues of oppression and inequality throughout modern society and beyond.
