between men and women’s human deserved rights and about the negative connotation the label feminist brings. For centuries, men have highly benefitted from living in a patriarchal society where men hold predominant roles. Generally speaking, men are paid higher in the work field for the same job, don’t usually fear of being raped when going out to a bar or club, usually hold higher powered positions, and are praised for being the hard working providers. These are all basic human deserved rights…

Sexist philosophies against women in Asian countries are still practiced and stimulated to this day. Americans and other greatly refined countries fail to acknowledge how undeveloped the social ideas in third world countries are and how it leads to transgressions in society. In Asia, it is out of “the norm” for a woman to convey antipathy towards a male, especially those of which belong in high social classes. One notable Japanese satire is “In A Grove” by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. This story…

the world now compared to one hundred and fifty years ago we have come a long way, we are just not quite there yet. Anti-feminists tend to view feminism negatively, as women seeking to be equal to men, but in contrast it is only the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of sexual equality or the movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression.

Where do women stand in society? Women’s inequality in society is a sensitive topic that has existed for many years. Women have suffered to have their voices heard and have fought to reach a sense of equality in the world.

people can broadcast their opinions left and right about feminism, meninism, and everything in between. It is nearly impossible to go a day without seeing someone’s opinion on gender equality in the United States broadcasted on the Internet. This struggle for equal rights has been around since the 19th century. The Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 was one of the first times women stood up for themselves and empowered others to stand with them for equal rights. Since that momentous day, women have…

Aldous Huxley foresaw a number of incredible triumphs in his novel, Brave New World, but it seems that in no point in the near, or even distant future, was liberation for women an attainable goal for him. In fact, despite the dystopic nature of his novel, Huxley instead created a world that is hauntingly similar to our own. ‘Brave New World’ is a second-rate replica of the misogynistic 1930s society that belittled women and gave men an unjust sense of superiority and entitlement. It’s a story…
