Feminism: A Movement to End Sexist Oppression
In this article one thing that stood out to me the most was how all women wanted to end sexist oppression. Women don't want to be treated better than men, but equal to them. Thats what confuses most men they think Feminism is away for women to obtain better rights then men. Since the beginning of time women have always been treated like a lower class. For example, at one point they weren't able to vote and they protest against that and eventually they over came it. Feminism is a way for women to express to men all the disadvantages that women have compared to men. Another thing that this article talked about how all humans should be treated equal no matter race, gender, ethnicity. I really agree with this point because giving fair treatment to only white women would not be fair to all the other women.
To me feminism means treating all women with respect and equality. Women should not be payed less for doing the same job that men do, it doesn't make sense to me. Feminism is away for women to chase their dreams against all odds.I think that one day in the future women will be treated as equals to men. The more protesting they do and they more awareness they spread will eventually catch on.
I agree with your view point how women should be treated with respect and equality because women are just as capable of doing something as men. I also found it interesting in this article how the author explained how women and men "seek the same materialistic and individualistic values". Men struggle for mutual respect and social responsibility as well because its not just about men being superior to women.
ReplyDeleteDan, I understand your point of view and do agree women and men should be treated equal. I would also agree that women would love to end sexist oppression but not all of them feel good about the word feminism so it is the reason most of them don't jump right out to support and show they want to end sexist oppression. Overall, nice job.
ReplyDeleteDanny, I agree with your response to this article. I also agree that everyone should be treated equal no matter what. I think it is very wrong that women get paid less to do the same jobs that men do. How can someone even do that? I also agree that with more protesting, and things like that, it will get women closer and closer to being equal to men.
