While you’re scrolling through this list, I thought it might be interesting to explore a little about the concept of feminism—the belief in the social, economic, and political equality of the sexes. As stated in Encyclopaedia Britannica, feminism is manifested all over the world and is represented by various organizations that work for the rights and interests of women.
Although many people today misunderstand its purpose, few look at the history that started it all. For much of Western history, women were confined to the domestic sphere, with public life reserved for men. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, women in Europe and most of the United States could neither vote nor hold elected office.
Women were prevented from doing business without a male representative. Married women could not control their children without their husband’s permission. Moreover, women had little or no access to education and were prohibited from most professions. In some parts of the world, such restrictions on women continue to this day.
Feminism is not a modern issue. In late 14th and early 15th century France, Christine de Pisan, the first feminist philosopher, challenged prevailing attitudes against women with a bold call for female education. The defense of women became a literary subgenre in the late 16th century after the posthumous publication of Il merito delle donne (1600; The Worth of Women), a feminist treatise by another Venetian writer, Moderata Fonte.
As Encyclopædia Britannica later explained, defenders of the status quo painted women as superficial and inherently immoral, while emerging feminists compiled long lists of brave and successful women and declared that, given equal opportunity, women would be intellectually equal to men. to education.
Equality is the key word in the equation (although there is some misapprehension with this concept), pressure is emphasized. Underlying all this, Feminist theory argues that women should enjoy the same rights as men, including the right to speech, religion, bodily autonomy, and political expression.
Simply put, feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexual exploitation, and oppression. While this may be misinterpreted as men being the main enemy, this is simply not the case, as feminism embodies equality for all. However, Joshua Evans asked an interesting question: “Can true equality be achieved if half the population can’t help, or does feminism lose its way when male voices dominate?”
Studies show that in societies with more gender equality, men are half as likely to be depressed, less likely to commit suicide, about 40% less likely to die violently, and even less likely to suffer from chronic back pain. In an equal society, social issues such as sexual harassment against men and domestic violence can be taken more seriously.
Feminism has also allowed men to take longer maternity leave and become full-time parents, fighting stereotypes of the “breadwinner”. These are just a few examples of what feminism can and continues to do for men. And it is up to men to support it as best they can.
We still have a long way to go when it comes to realizing feminist ideals, but I’m sure we’ll soon evolve into a society that embraces, respects and stands by each other. . Meanwhile, Girl Code has some universal rules.
If a girl needs a tampon and you have one, help her out. If you see a girl too drunk to even see straight, bring her some water and help as needed to keep her safe. If you see someone harassing or touching a girl unintentionally, help her. If a girl is crying, make sure everything is okay. Ultimately, judging others doesn’t do anyone justice, we girls need to stick together.
