In our society, every object, action, event is assigned its own label. Feminist - who is it? Everyone understands in their own way. Here is a short definition familiar in society: "A feminist is a woman who fights for equality with men in everything." And now, based on this definition, everyone, to the best of their upbringing and education, draws their own conclusions.

So who is she - a feminist

Ask the simplest man in the street a question: “Who is a feminist?” He, without hesitation, will answer that this is a man-hater, a sexually insatiable woman and, in general, a lesbian. And it is not clear to him that these women have nothing in common with his definition. The goal of their movement is equal rights in society. This is an opportunity to perform qualified work on an equal footing with men: to be judges and members of parliament, to operate and compose music, write scripts and make films, while earning at the level of a man. You can not put a woman at the stove without her will to do so. There are many wonderful women who broadcast on television about the house, life, he althy eating, needlework. This is their choice. the samemen do too. We do not think that this is none of their business, but we are happy to use the advice on household and cooking sounding from their lips. It is wrong when a man decides for a woman what to do with her, be it her husband or father. This is a violation of rights.

Gender approach to problem solving

Our society must come to an understanding that feminism will win, because for the state and for society, the equality of men and women is more beneficial than their dependence.

During periods of economic crises, the patriarchal family has shown that it is not viable. During the heyday of feminism, which falls on the 80s of the XX century, it turned out that a man cannot provide for his family by working alone. His income is not enough to pay for household services. It became clear that a woman can, by working, bring no less income to the family. This led to the understanding that in a modern democratic society, not gender should be put at the forefront, but gender - a socio-cultural type. There is no doubt that no branch of government should be homogeneous in terms of gender approaches. Women should be involved in politics just like their male counterparts. If we analyze the duties and competence of each political post without any bias, then we can understand that women can participate in politics in the same way as men. This is what the feminist is trying to prove. Who it is - a man or a woman - will be engaged in this or that work depends on the ability and desire, and not on sexual characteristics.

About feminist actions

The image of a Russian feminist was formed under the influence of Soviet ideology, based on the concept: "Everything Western means bad".

And a feminist means a whore or a bitch. But the feminist movement remains relevant, regardless of the definitions of the inhabitants. Even now, when equal opportunities are recognized, they, these opportunities, are provided mainly to men. Women who have not come to power cannot influence the future of their lives. To attract attention, feminist actions are held. The initiators of the actions do not always think through their goals to the end, and as a result they turn into extras with an unsightly ending. Usually such actions are broadcast in the media, reinforcing the audience in the opinion that feminism is bad.

And yet, let's define: a feminist - who is it? This is a woman who, in contrast to defending patriarchal gender roles, seeks to show: there is a problem of Women in our society, this problem needs to be solved. There is a human right to be himself, and not the way they want to see him in our patriarchal twisted world.
