The belief that women
are living creatures, who are able to make rational decisions on their own
baffle so many people, so one can assume women are viewed as the lesser human.
New feminism is a new concept that many people don’t understand because many believe the definition of feminism is the superiority of females over males.
Before this philosophy can be known for what it actually is, people need to
understand that not every feminist hates men. It supports the idea that men, and women are indeed different but both sexes deserve equal
worth and dignity. Even though women are
living in a so called “man’s world,” we have made a lot of progress since the start of the feminist movement. Equality between the genders is a
difficult thing to accomplish with so many different viewpoints and cultures
around the world.
Unless life was started over again, there is no way women
will ever feel safe in a male dominated society. There are set stereotypes that
women have, as there is for men, and women will always be seen like the lesser
of the two because of that stereotype, as much as it saddens me to say. Many
people grew up learning that tradition is the route to live by, which the new
feminism points out saying its fine to stick with the stereotypical roles for
both men and women. The difference between the two is the treatment of one
another. The traditional role of a women would be one where she submits herself to her husband, while staying at home and being the the homemaker or caregiver of the family. New feminism wants a
woman to feel comfortable being about to be a woman who stays at home with the children
or the woman who goes out into the workforce.
We can all join together and fight the
inequality in many ways. We just have to
be willing to stand up for what we think is right and how we think others
should be treated. Both men and women have opinions and voices to speak them
with. No gender is lesser than the other because of a tradition that is no
longer being used in other aspects.
