We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls
"You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man"
Because I am female
I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices
Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
And we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls to each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
In the way that boys are
Feminist: the person who believes in the social
Political, and economic equality of the sexes
According to me, a feminist is someone who wants women to have equal rights as men. They believe that women should be treated the same way men are and deserve equal opportunities. Although feminism focuses more on women's upliftment, it doesn't want to oppress men. (unlike the third wave feminists these days)
As you can see, every commenter offers a slightly different definition. This is because feminism is a political word, with no fixed meaning. The fight for its meaning is part of its existence.
Many great feminists find the idea of "equality" disturbing, since it offers little more than assimilationism, trying to make women adopt the shitty features of masculinity. Personally I prefer to think of it as freedom from gender norms and social regulation through those norms.
What's a feminist?
Also depressing mangas, shoujo (only) please!
