But why the term feminism, why not a human rights activist, some people ask. Well to not call it feminism would be depriving the whole point of the movement. It is women who are treated unfairly throughout history. Even as of 2016 women still make 77 cents to every dollar a man makes. At one point woman were not allowed to vote.

She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you. When the old man says that Diana won’t neglect Alan and will be so jealous when he’s late he’s saying that she’ll live only for Alan’s purpose and whims, that’s a clearly evidence of a sexist position and a patriarchal ideology which considers man as superior to women.…
