Based on the Moday lecture, our class discussed about feminsim. From my understanding, feminism is an equality between men and women. Besides, based on the Oxford dictionary the definision is, the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. People who support these thoughts are called feminists. According to the lecture, some famous feminists are Thomas Paine (founding father of USA),Abigail Adams (first lady),Susan B. Anthony (women's rights movement) and Sojourner Truth (slave, abolitionist and women's rights movement)
Some negative ideas of feminsim is that they are hippies, only women, lesbians, and they do not shave. Moreover, most people think that the feminists should have generous and calm looking however, the truth is, their looking doesn't really matter. The importance thing is that the feminsts should be the person who is ready to fight for the rights for our society. They usually deal with gender inequality and claims for rights for women. For instance, they may confront some incidents such as a woman who got rapped by man or social heiracy in different regions.
From the discussion, I was able to understand who can be the feminsits and who are the famous feminists in our world. These discussion provided some chances to have some knowledges of feminists.
