Feminism has many different definitions to many people, and it is usually different for a lot of people. A lot of people misunderstand and think that feminism is merely a way of saying of getting back men or that women should be the supreme gender, but that is completely incorrect. \u00a0So, then what is feminism, and why do both men and women need it?<\/p>\n
To me, it has always been summed up with one word, equality. It\u2019s not about taking things away from the men and giving it to the women or vice versa. Its to make things both socially acceptable and available to both genders. Feminism isn\u2019t supposed to take anything away, it supposed to give people freedom, not repression.<\/p>\n
For centuries, men and women have been forced into roles because of their gender. Men were always pushed in the role of working whilst women are pushed into the role of staying at home and looking after the kids. Both these roles are sexist. Women are still being pushed into having kids when they don\u2019t feel comfortable to. A woman should have the right to choose whether they want kids or not and should not be for a man to decide. Women have the right to work just as men have the right to stay at home and look after the kids. Feminism is about having a choice about what you want to do, no matter what that is and regardless of your gender.<\/p>\n
We shouldn\u2019t be pushed into an image just because we were born a male or female. Gender isn\u2019t supposed to be black and white, or blue or pink. Gender is extremely diverse and should not be limited by rules of what we should or shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n
Feminism does support women\u2019s rights but its also supposed to support men and their right to be feminine. But over the years, females have been discriminated more than men. We should turn a blind eye to the rights men don\u2019t have. Most of the acts that are considered wrong are feminine, and something that is truly disgusting abut society is that it loves to hate anything that is feminine. Whilst anything that\u2019s considered masculine is socially accepted.<\/p>\n
Girls are being told off or sent home from school because what they are wearing is considered distracting. They should never be punished or considered wrong for standing for themselves. Women should not be treated as objects. To be blamed for being raped because of what they wore. Men should not be told to treat women as they are objects. But there are men out there who do get assaulted. If they do, the response should not be told to man up, or be laughed at. It should be treated with the same respect as a women\u2019s case. Movements from the #Metoo movement needed to be treated with respect. Not just female victims either.<\/p>\n
So why both men and women need feminism? Because we need equality and is a basic human right to everyone. Women should and deserve to be equal to men. Men on the other hand need to learn that its okay to like and do feminine things. Men should also be told that it\u2019s not okay to objectify women. Women are human beings not objects! You don\u2019t have to conform to the roles society pushes you to be because society expects an unrealistic image, which needs to be taken down.<\/p>\n
