What is a feminist?
Feminist- The theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.
What most people fail to realize when they are supporting the inequalities of genders is that both males and females benefit from having the same political, economical, and social equalities. Unfortunately, many find the term "feminist" to either represent a complaining female or an outspoken male, who deserves an award. However in truth neither of these representations are accurate, women who stand against inequality are not whiny and men who support the cause don't "deserve a cookie for being decent".
Now here is where most misconceptions come into play. Men are commonly given credit for taking on an aggressive, and dominating role, but are made into outcasts if they allow themselves to be vulnerable. So when it is stated that males could benefit from as equivocal rights as possible, many fail to grasp that all sides of the spectrum can benefit. Although both genders have equal rights as far as the right to vote and keep their wages, patriarchy is a very common concept that takes place in society. A broad definition of the word patriarchy is control by men of a disproportionately large share of power. But in order to end the nonsense of boundaries between genders and the crude stereotypes assigned to each, the feminism effort requires help from both men and women. We need everyone's help to continue the idea of feminism so we can achieve a more ideal society. As always a million starts with one, so the question must be presented. Ready to learn more? Some scary facts are featured below.
