Feminist Blog Review

Feminism refers to the philosophy and/or theory of men and women having equal social, personal, economic, and political rights. Feminism is a movement centered on achieving women's social, emotional, economic, and political rights. Essentially, we live in a male-dominated society where women's rights are often ignored. In some nations, social and cultural standards also limit women's ability to exercise their free will and fundamental human rights. This can be seen in third-world countries where education and culture are still in their infancy and women are still regarded as commodities.

This paper will examine the notion of feminism around the world and review a feminist blog to analyze the current perception of the people about feminism around the world.



Feminism is all about equal opportunities for women:

Feminist ideology propagates an idea of equal social, personal, economic, educational and political opportunities for women. Therefore, feminism is all about equal opportunities for women. The above mentioned five equalities are briefly explained here under:



Firstly, equal social opportunities is all about of the social status of women. Social status of women should be reasonable and respectable and she should not be considered as a commodity for use and for serving which is a common phenomenon and practice in most of the societies in the world. Giving social respect to women is about creating heaven like environment on earth. Therefore, equal social opportunities should be given to women



Secondly, women should be given their personal rights which include they should have their free personal will and choice of right and wrong. In many societies women are not suppose to have free will that is why the need of movement of women rights raised and it is quite vibrant in the many parts of the world. However, the things are getting better and better with the passage of time.



Thirdly, women should be considered for economic opportunities. Indeed, being a civilized nation women must be considered equal when it comes to economic opportunities. However, as a male dominant society in many societies we become bias when we consider a job opportunity and literally with a bias perception we prefer a man than women. This should be discouraged and a healthy perception regarding equal opportunities for women should be prevailed.



Fourthly, there are number of civilizations which still are against education of women. They believe that education empowers women and the educated women stands before men which is against the nature as male is the dominant one by nature. This is also a bias behavior regarding equal educational rights for women. As Napoleon Bonaparte said “Give me an educated mother, I shall promise you the birth of a civilized, educated nation." Therefore, women education is very important not for herself but for whole nation.



Fifthly, political opportunities for women are also important. Women should come forward to resolve and prepare policies for their issues in the political avenues. As women are vocal and integral part of our society, therefore, they should be part of political process of a country. Things are getting better in this with the passage of time and women are getting prominent in the political canvas.
