Our society has recognized feminism and a lot of effort has been made by women to empower other women. Women have accomplished a countless number of things and are taking higher job positions as well. Sometimes women face lots of struggles as mothers, which make them mentally stronger because it takes lots of hard work. Women are capable of being leaders and superior than men, and in fact they will become educated enough to not be taken advantage over.
“A woman’s place is at home.”
This belief no longer applies to today’s society because every year more

    As human beings we don’t have the luxury of being able to choose between becoming a male or a female, and regardless of what technology has to offer in the next generations to come it should stay that way. The idea of a man or women ever being more superior to another is an absolute disgrace to our society. In order for our country to function the way it does, men and women on a daily basis must work side by side under no restrictions. In all honesty, being a male I grew up not having to deal with all the sexism that goes on in a girls every day activities. I don’t blame the strong willed women for rebelling and going against the common stereotypes that are tagged against them, I would do the same.…

    Women aren’t as capable as men. Is this really a true statement? No, but this statement was a common and unquestioned ideology before the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848, the first formal and documented discussion of women’s rights. Even though women’s rights were brushed off to the side before the women’s rights movement, they were not non-existent. Female authors had been around for a long time before that, and while they may not have been incredibly popular or commonplace, these writers did one important thing that their male counterparts couldn’t: they wrote with a female point of view.…

    Ignorance: Bliss or Misery? Social justice has been a popular topic since humans began to establish their rights and freedoms. While social justice can serve to help protect those who have been robbed of their rights or unfairly treated, it can also provoke thought about the nature of society as a whole. By exploring social justice issues through various mediums, such as the movie Slumdog Millionaire, the song Flawless by Beyonce, or the graphic novel Deogratias by Jean-Phillipe Stassen, insight is given that shows a sad reality about social justice in our modern society- most people choose to only support a social justice issue if they are personally affected by it.

    In “Lean in: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?” by Sheryl Sandberg the main topic is feminism based upon her point of view and research.

Before this Sandberg wrote “lean in” there had never been a feminist work on the New York Times Best Sellers list which was a big movement in feminist teaching, but was it good publicity for long time feminist?…
