Answer 1

1. Feminism is a movement which aims to create a society of equality among the sexes in all respect. The contributions that I see of feminists movement are that I have the right to vote which came up for the women after first movement of feminism, I got chance of higher studies and doing job of my own without getting dependent on any other.

2. There are various issues in Feminism and that are –

a. Division of domestic labor- Even after working in the office, women need to look after the home and children. There is no division of domestic labor betwwn men and women.

b. Media- No doubt the media has changed since years but still the way they represent women as a more of material to attract people.

c. Glass ceiling- There is a famous s quote that – no one can make you inferior except you so the socialization plays an important role in bringing the woman forward and to make them able to speak for themselves.

d. Social Inequality – On one hand where men can openly come up in front, transgendered women and lesbian women still face various problems as compared to them.

3. There are various styles of feminism like liberal, radical, Marxist, cultural and more. But for me Radical feminism is most important because this is perspective where the society is being seen as male dominant society and patriarchy rules it; also exploit women. A study says that it will take another many years to make the society equal for men and women. This perspective analyzed the society in an effective way which concluded that there should be elimination of male supremacy from all the contexts which is very important for equality in terms of gender.
