The word “feminism” has the power to unite women in common causes, strike fear in men and some women who don’t understand it’s meaning, and rally those together who blame the feminist movement for all of the world’s woes. Since its start, feminism has been blamed for every social anguish imaginable including exploding divorce rates, teenage alcoholism, domestic violence, single parent homes, and behavior problems in children. It is an often feared and hated concept believed by many to embody the loss of moral and family standards. Throughout the movements history one constant has remained: those who do not understand the movement or what it stands for are often its most outspoken critics.
  

Feminism is today – as it was almost forty years ago – a “movement for social, political, and economic equality of men and women”. When given this definition, 67 percent of people polled say that they agree with the feminist movement. Without such a clear-cut definition however, the feminist movement is equated to such acts as “bra burning”, “men hating” and “aggressiveness” by both men and women alike who fail to understand the basic underlying goals of the movement itself. To complicate the matter further, there is a lack of agreement among those who proclaim themselves as “feminists” on what the movement actually stands for.

Different perspectives of Feminism:

No.1
"I feel feminism was required at one point of time in this country, and was started with intention of fostering 'gender equality'. To that end, I feel that it is good. Whether they are liberated in 2008, seems to be a matter of debate (more than a discussion). Waves and waves of activity has brought people to this century, but still people do have their 'view' of feminism. Not to be seen as nit picking, but what's with people here saying 'Lots of people will lie to you--they'll tell you it's about man-hating or giving women superiority, but that's all lies.' I m sure a normal woman would not say that until she has screwed up ideas about feminism in the first place. Of course men would NEVER say that and open up a pandora's box in the men's lodge."


No.2
"I must be very old-fashioned. I believe in equality but also in respect. By the way, I am male. I open doors for ladies. I turn away when a lady is getting into or out of a car. I offer to help carry heavy things and am rarely refused the opportunity to make myself feel masculine and important. If I am dining with a lady, I pay for the meal. I have worked with many battered women, and feel contempt for the batterers. I also feel contempt for the feminazis, who have caused a horrible backlash which has made life more difficult for many women."
