The Welcome Note

With the recent wave of gender enthusiast, it is easy to suppose the world has grown abreast to the concept of Feminism; but as with every era of change, society is still in a dilemma when it comes to the feminist's agenda.

It is shocking to realize the rate in which most individuals are lacking in relation to accessing the totality of the feminist movement; as well as the extent to which they have disillusioned feminism to encompass a series of angry hypocritical man-haters standing on opposite sides of the notion's initial inception - Equality.

Gender based equality.

Gender; a unique word absent in literary terms until the 70's, but it's impact is evident as a social construct determining sex roles (Masculinity and Femininity) in relations to the Heteronormative 'natural' order of sex (Female and Male).

When discussing feminism, one can never avoid the topic of gender equality, as the two go hand in hand, intertwined as the snakes on Hermes staff; holding the key to one other.

Sarah Grimké once said 'I ask no favour for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet off from our necks' in simpler words Feminism is Equality in plain clothes.

It preaches of radical social change, a major catalyst modern society was built on. Moving into the modern era, it is deemed fashionable to identify as feminists, but are we ready to realize that with feminism comes with making tough decisions and social re-orientation. It is not something only finely printed in textbooks or trending on twitter, it is a living breathing phenomenon to be actualized in our everyday lives.

Working patterns for females as well as reshuffling of domestic roles.

Feminism seeks to challenge the ideologies of society built on the premise of like- minds who were able to break free from societal cages of concepts of females being 'protected' a synonym for 'caged'  

The term feminism can be used to describe a political, cultural or economic movement aimed at establishing equal rights and legal protection for women. ... The first feminist wave was in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the second was in the 1960's and 1970's, and the third extends from the 1990's to the present.
