Sexism: Feminism And Violence Against Women

Change Feminism to Equalism

What is feminism? Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression. In my own words feminism is a woman, who fight for equal rights and equal opportunities as a man, even it’s regarding to work, children’s or political issues. However, today due to feminism movement women get more priority then men in social issues, which make men to think that the word feminism is a bad word itself because of the word “feminism” constantly blamed and degraded men’s by making the belief that all men’s are bed and they can never respect women’s. However, there are some men’s who also want that women have their equal rights as them. For example, whenever a man and woman have fight in the public place,

For example in the chapter “Ending violence” author only talked about violence against women not even mention a word about violence against men’s because according Hooks men are inhumane because they use violent to patriarch them. For this reason, she doesn’t think men’s issues are not important as them, which need concern as them. Here is a quote from same chapter, which tell what is domestic mean by Bell hooks, “domestic violence includes male violence against women, same-sex violence, and adult violence against children”(61). As we can see in this quote according to author violence against men is not a part of domestic violence. Yes, we knew that there is big difference between in the percent’s of violence against women and men, but if we look at the statics of violence it tells that violence also occurred against men even women are ignoring it. So if there is 70% women were abused by violence today, then other 30% are men, who also abused by their spouse in a relationship. But being a feminist, how women can only address their issues regarding gender inequality and being unfair to men’s, when they are also fighting for gender equality. However looking this unfair behave of women’s toward men, it proofs that feminism is a bad name because it keep women’s away from equality and convert their way of thinking to sexism because by not

Therefore, they are raising issues like violence, patriarchy and domination to proof that men’s were monster, so men should don’t deserve more rights then them. So the way of women protect get equalities is not right because it hurts men’s and force them to think that women were trying to say that their gender is better they should get more priorities then men’s instead of being both gender equal. By looking all these problems, I also think name feminism itself not a good name for this movement because it create more problem rather then ending the inequalities between both genders. So, I think best solution to resolve this problem is that we should change the name “feminism” to “Equalism” because this new name will lead many positive results by impact both genders to think about equality, instead of abusing each other genders. Also the word Equalism is sound more relevant to this movement because it prefer both sides equally rather then promoting
