Hooks describes feminism as a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. She believes that this simple definition is respectable because it does not state that men are the problem or enemy. By saying that sexism is the problem instead of men, it implies that all sexist thinking and action is the problem, whether men, women, adults, or children cause it. It is…

view of the feminist movement and harms the image of women in general. (end of intro) By definition, feminism is “the social, political, and economic equality between the sexes”.
