Feminist - who it really is

In our society, each item, action, event is assigned its own label. Feminist - who is this? He understands each in his own way. Here is a short definition common in society: "A feminist is a woman who fights for equality with men in everything." But now, on the basis of this definition, everyone, in the best of his upbringing and education, draws his conclusions.

So who is she - a feminist

Ask the most simple man in the street, a man: "Feminist - who is this?" He will not hesitate to answer that it is a man of misunderstanding, a sexually insatiable woman and, in general, a lesbian. And it is incomprehensible to him that these women have nothing in common with his definition. The purpose of their movement is equal rights in society. This is an opportunity to perform skilled work on a par with men: to be judges and members of parliament, to operate and compose music, write scripts and make films, while earning at the level with a man. You can not put a woman at the stove without her will to do it. There are many wonderful women who broadcast television on home, everyday life, healthy eating, needlework. This is their choice. This is also the work of men. We do not believe that this is not their business, but we are happy to use advice on households and cooking, sounding from their mouths. It is not right when a man decides for a woman what to do with her, be it her husband or father. This is a violation of rights.

Gender approach to problem solving

Our society must come to an understanding that feminism will win, as for the state and for society the equality of men and women is more beneficial than their dependence. In times of economic crisis, the patriarchal family has shown that it is not viable. In the heyday of feminism, which falls on the 80-ies of the XX century, it became clear that a man can not provide a family by working alone. His income is not enough to pay for household services. It became clear that a woman can, working, bring in the family no less income. This led to the understanding that in a modern democratic society, the focus should not be on sex, but on gender - the sociocultural type. There is no doubt that no branch of government should be homogeneous in terms of gender approaches. Women should be involved in politics, like their male counterparts. If we analyze the official duties and competence of each political post without any bias, then we can understand that women can participate in politics as well as men. This is trying to prove the feminist. Who it is - a man or a woman - will be engaged in this or that work, depends on abilities and desires, and not on sexual characteristics.

About feminist actions

The image of the feminist of Russia was formed under the influence of Soviet ideology, proceeding from the notion: "Everything Western is bad". A feminist means a whore or bitch. But the movement of feminists remains relevant regardless of the definitions of the townsfolk. Even now, when equality of opportunity is recognized, they, these opportunities, are given mainly to men. Affect the future of their lives, women who did not come to power, can not. To attract attention, the actions of feminists are held. Not always initiators of carrying out of actions think out up to the end the purposes, and as a result they turn to extras with an unsightly end. Usually such actions are broadcast in the media, strengthening viewers in the opinion that feminism is bad.

And yet, let's define: a feminist - who is this? This is a woman who, in opposition to defending patriarchal gender roles, is trying to show: there is a problem of Women in our society, this problem needs to be addressed. There is a person's right to be himself, and not the one that he wants to see in our patriarchal warped world.
