Feminist
|
Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women. Its concepts overlap with those of women's rights. Feminism is mainly focused on women's issues, but because feminism seeks gender equality, some feminists argue that men's liberation is therefore a necessary part of feminism, and that men are also harmed by sexism and gender roles. Feminists are "person[s] whose beliefs and behavior[s] are based on feminism." Feminist theory exists in a variety of disciplines, emerging from these feminist movements and including general theories and theories about the origins of inequality, and, in some cases, about the social construction of sex and gender. Feminist activists have campaigned for women's rights—such as in contract, property, and voting — while also promoting women's rights to bodily integrity and autonomy and reproductive rights. They have opposed domestic violence, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. In economics, they have advocated for workplace rights, including equal pay and opportunities for careers and to start businesses. Some of the earlier forms of feminism have been criticized for being geared towards white, middle-class, educated perspectives. This led to the creation of ethnically-specific or multiculturalist forms of feminism. From Wikipedia under the

I see alot of questions here asking whether you are a feminist or not. If you are a young woman today you ar reaping the benifits of those who went before you. You can't even imagine not having the choices you have now...you are feminists! Asked by ENB - Wed May 28 19:42:37 2008 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments A. Not ungrateful . . . just pathetically ignorant and misguided. Do they honestly believe all the opporunities they take for granted would have come to them anyway?? Or that if a women isn't a cupcaque or chicklette she's a man-hater?? My God! It's not a lack of gratitude, but a lack of awareness that makes them sad. Answered by Baba Yaga - Wed May 28 20:54:24 2008 Why do feminist women not want to have children?
Q. Why do feminist women think its beneath you to have chilren? I am all for equal rights and everything but this is taking it a little too far. Its not really because they don't want chilren that they do this mostly. They do it because they want to "prove a point": that they can have a career. You feminist women need to relise there's nothing wrong with having a family. Asked by DiamondCutter - Thu Apr 9 17:42:03 2009 - - 22 Answers - 0 Comments A. There isn't anything wrong with family. Thankfully, these feminists are sensible enough to understand not only that, but the fact that there are only 24 hours in a day. The feminists who think that they can "have it all" are doing irreparable harm to both those who are being served in their careers (e.g. patients if they are doctors) and their children.

Joan Acker argues that large work organizations are primary locations in which gendered and racialized class inequalities are created. As neo-liberal market practices reorganize work, gendered and racialized class inequalities are both reorganized and increasing nationally and globally. This book will appeal to readers interested in a feminist discussion of class as a racialized and gendered process intimately tied to the capitalist economic system.
