1. The Definition of Feminism
If you’ve made it this far, you’ve probably realized by now that feminism is a vast ideology that encompasses not just women, but people from a mixture of backgrounds with varied beliefs and ideas. And yet, despite the disagreements and controversies, the most debated issue that feminists disagree on is the definition of feminism itself. Does feminism stand for equality or does it stand for positive discrimination in favour of women? Well according to Merriam-Webster, feminism has two definitions: first, the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities; and second, an organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests. So the answer is that feminism is both about advancing equality and advancing women’s interests.
In closing, if you’re in favour of equality rights for men and women, you are by definition a feminist. If you’re in favour of advancing women’s rights and interests, you are by definition a feminist. However, if you’re serious about achieving equality and solving the pressing issues, remember the only viable way of doing so is by informing instead of insulting, including instead of dividing, and most importantly, understanding instead of ignoring.
