    Feminism is commonly misunderstood as a female agenda to undermine the rights of men. However, in reality, feminism, is a movement for equality in pay, civil right, employment, education, and all other variables in life. Also, many feminists advocate not only for justice on behalf of the female sex but also on behalf of minority populations that oppressed, such as African American women, lesbians, and single mothers. Feminism gets a bad wrap from the media, who portrays it as a radical agenda that tries to undermine society's values. In reality, feminism is about upholding the ideals of equality and justice for all citizens by elimanating barriers and obstacles that the political system, and American culture itself, have created.

    Source(s): I'm a feminist and I studied feminism in several counseling courses before receiving my bachelor's degree in social work with a minor in psychology. There's a feminist approach to counseling, and its becoming popular, as it can be adapted to both men and women.

    That what I say goes, that Women are to be treasured, that nothing should go unanswered, that we are NOT handmaidens to the testoserone masses who grunt and 'think' that they can be our arbiters....We do NOT need them....we interpret life VERY well. That without respect for humanism...which now more and more Women are humanitarians and not apron clad PHD's who have given up their lives to indentured servitude of the confines of four walls, only to be barked at, disqualified in matters of politics, humanities, art, invention and literature.......no longer having to hide beneath the guises of a male name, or the adjunct bestseller on the blovck and laughing stock of their passive aggresive spouses who needle abuse through neglect, or any other form of noncompliant living. Equality is not even a close word....it is "Person" & NOT gender that embodies the creativity....we are NOT simply the convenient laundry chutes fo the masses of men taking it on th chin ior anywhere for that matter. We are Mothers, Daughters, Friends, Confidantes, Humanitarians, Nobel Laureates, The Moderators of Change.

    WE are the undiscovered wind behind both genders and many decades of beings. We have Passion, are Impassioned, Care Takers, Care Givers~no longer enslaved by even the term "Feminist"~Drop the word Feminist and listen with your eyes closed.....we all have our own lullabyes and stories.....

    Hence~ at one time ...THINK NOW...we were all a babe in someone's arms, loved, cherished and soothed.....Women and Men.....

    Cease thinking gender and live.

    I stand firmly by my answer to your query.

    Signed: A Woman making a difference in ways you might never hear of. It is NOT what you see a person do that makes them great, it is what is being done when you are not looking....and it continues....and always will.
