Persuasive Essay On Feminism

1369 Words6 Pages

What modern feminists refuse to admit is that feminism is only one side of a two-sided coin of inequality. A “movement” that advocates for the rights of one gender over another is sexist and unequal by nature. If feminists were striving for equality, then they wouldn’t be FEMinists. Being feminist, simply put, means that you want women to not only be equal to, but greater than men.. Thus, I believe that feminism is a poorly made masquerade to cover women’s desire to control men. No one can deny that it was necessary for people like Betty Friedan in the ’50s and Gloria Steinem in the ’60’s. ( Olson, Marie “Finding our way” Aug 2017)Their movements were necessary for women to achieve equality amongst all people. But feminists won’t stop at equality. They want total sovereignty over the opposite sex. Every year feminists assault men (unprovoked) and act as if men are the entirety of the reason for any problem that they may encounter, and act as if men have none. With quotes like “You never hear of women raping men! It is always young women, young, innocent, little girls, who get raped by these misogynistic pigs”- Robin Morgan, leader of the “man hater” organization (BrainyQuote). I personally have never even heard of misogynism being a required trait for a rapist ( Who obviously has to be male). Feminists act as if young boys don’t experience sexual assault either. Feminists act entitled to rights that even men don’t have, and “speak for women” as if they know the wants and

    But, in North America, women are no longer dominated by men, and after decades’ efforts and struggle, in the cooperation with the feminists and the msm, it has already been in a post-feminist time. Stand for women, and speak as feminists have become the main rule that must be followed by the msm. In other words, people got “the license to overkill”. In fact, protecting women’s rights and realising the equality of men and women are necessary, but, in the meanwhile, men should not be ignored, or men’s rights should not be denied. I have watched one episode of What Would You Do, which was checking what people would do if there was a man abusing his wife/girlfriend, and if there was a woman abusing her husband/boyfriend.

    Feminists just want to prove that there is more a woman can do than taking care of a house or children. These women would like to expand their limitations that society keeps them in, “These limitations of Feminism bemoans and urges women to break through. It laments that a woman, by looking forward matrimony, should diminish her interest in her factory work. It would reverse condition: make wage earning permanent and marriage transient, salary the major and children the minor interest (Martin 42).” Feminism by engaging the mother in daily occupation for wages outside the home, would make comprehensive that separation between mother and child which, unhappily, is common among the frivolous rich (Martin 197).”

  • Over Feminist Autobiography Analysis

    1000 Words  | 4 Pages

    In America, where “women have never been more respected”, girls have a 1 in 5 chance of being raped. A woman working a middle class job for 40 years will miss out on 440,000 dollars because of a pesky little thing called the wage gap. If you believe that inequality doesn’t exist, then maybe you don’t realize how far it extends. Every time a little boy is excused from violent or crude behavior because “boys will be boys”, sexism wins. Every time a girl is told that she shouldn’t pursue a degree in science, or told to stop playing in the mud, because it “isn’t lady-like” then sexism wins.

  • Oppression By Katherine Fritz: Article Analysis

    331 Words  | 2 Pages

    Both the article Oppression by Marilyn Frye and the article Feminism is for everybody that includes men by Katherine Fritz both talk about the way women are demoralized by society on what society assumes about the person not what they know about the individual. That just because a woman dresses sexy does not mean she is sexually easy or deserves to be called derogatory names or harassed or worse raped. There should also not be one set of rules for men and another set for women. If a man has multiple sexual partners, he is labeled a stud and if a woman has the same number of sexual partners, she is labeled a whore or slut. Society attaches labels to us since birth, which is where female oppression starts.

    Through gender socialization women are told to stay quiet when it comes to rape and those women are blamed for what happened to them. The patriarchy that still is very prevalent in the college systems today have allowed for this behavior. Gender stratification has allowed for men to get away with their crimes and has forced women to remain silent. When women do speak up they are discriminated against and are called radical feminist. Many feminist movements have started to bring awareness to this issue and are trying to make the world we live in more just for the women who are struggling to have their voice be heard.

    In her article, ‘On Date Rape,’ she discusses the dangers of women being raped due to mixed signals given out from both parties. However, she discusses it with a double standard that the rapist may be looked upon as the victim and the female can be put to blame, because some will say that only herself could have prevented it. Camille Paglia expresses her opinion as an anti-feminist who not only feels but actually believes that feminists have mislead women by telling them that they can do anything they want without any long-term consequences. In her article, she makes use of many fallacies including false analogies, hasty generalizations, and personal attacks, while trying to argue her personal stance on today’s woman

    Feminist wanted special advantages they felt they deserved. Everyone wants to have advantages in life, but finding that privilege is not the same for everyone is a disappointment for some. For example, a young man might be considered “privileged” if they get an extra bonus at work. That same man does not feel privileged because the only reason they got an extra bonus was to pay for their sick wife’s medicine. It is all about perspective.

  • Gender Roles In The Late 1800's

    Looking in from the outside, the journey of Women’s rights was a lengthy one, and it has come a significant way from what it began as. It was a long road to freedom that started with just a few women protesting together for change in the mid 1800’s to the large movement it is today. What started only as an effort to put women on equal footing with men in the voting realm blossomed into a full on fight against gender norms and independence through protesting, speeches, and gatherings. Gender norms or ‘roles’ are (as defined by Webster’s dictionary) “a set of societal norms dictating what types of behaviors are generally considered acceptable, appropriate, or desirable for a person based on their actual or perceived sex” and they are one thing that modern feminist have set their sights on to change for the better. Traditional gender roles have continued to exist for hundreds of years through perpetrators such as religion, government and society, and its effects have been felt by every woman, whether they realize it or not.

    Although the women 's movement in America has created many great changes for women, feminism in America has transformed into fight for the predominance of women over men. The ideology is such that women should dominate men and deserve a matriarchal society for the hardships pertained prior to when the rights of women were granted. Women in America are often the most privileged people, yet many still claim that war rages against women. Conversely, it is almost like feminists are waging war against the general public. The percentage of women who have physically assaulted a male partner is higher than the percentage of men who have assaulted a female partner because of feminist related reasons (O 'Beirne).

    Whenever the slightest portrayal of sexism is seen, feminists are quick to react and correct what is wrong. The solution to sexism is not to blatantly ignore it and say it does not exist anywhere; the solution is to stand up for what is right and implement the actions that need to take place. In “Bad Feminists” by Roxane Gay, it was stated that “[her] favorite definition of a feminist is one offered by Su, an Australian woman who...described them simply as ‘women who don't want to be treated like shit’” (Gay 169). That is basically essential for all bad feminists.

    In our advanced 21st century, it is hard to imagine our society as anything short of perfect. After all, we have come a long way from our seafaring ancestors. However, the reality is that despite how we may sometimes avoid seeing it, our society is anything but perfect. A very prevalent issue today is that despite laws being set in place to enforce the equal treatment of men and women, women all over the world today still face poor treatment and discrimination. Because of how deep and long this problem has run, revising discriminatory laws may not abolish discrimination and legislating laws that endorse gender equality may not necessarily create equality.

    People often believe that “Feminism” is just a thing of the past and now unnecessary because the patriarchal system is no longer subsisting. Women already procured the rights, opportunities, breaks, shots and chances, but they still tussle many struggles. As it is maliciously misconstrued as a way to dominate men, it just shows how little people understand the term. In clarification, it is no synonym to female preeminence or domination, instead, it peacefully advocates women’s rights. Feminism is definitely not a gender issue, but it is a humankind issue.
