Why was feminism born? What is the definition of feminism?

Because the oppression of women in human society has been too serious since ancient times, there is oppression, there is resistance, which is a manifestation of the progress of human society.

Because many women are victims of heavy history, traditional culture, and backward family education, and have been oppressed for so long, they are bound to resist, think, and fight for women's rights and interests.

Because society is now equal between men and women, regardless of individualism, women can do what men do, and some things may be better than men.

Because women have been oppressed by the previous patriarchal and patriarchal social atmosphere for too long, **there is oppression** and there is resistance.

Because men and women were not equal in feudal society, thousands of years of repression naturally had the opposite effect, that is, feminism. Women's rights are just the product of the next extreme in the advocacy of equality between men and women.

Because women's contribution to society is actually great, especially in primitive societies, because women are needed to maintain the development of the ethnic group, so women's rights are greater.

This is because it is necessary to promote the principle of equality between men and women, and to abandon the previous concept of preference for sons over women. Women also have strength and need freedom.

At that time, people only knew their mothers, but they didn't know who the father said in the middle, and the natural parents were only the mothers, and the matriarchal society was born, and women's rights were born.

It can be said to be a product of the times, because women in this era are becoming more and more experienced, and their comprehensive abilities in all aspects are better than those of men.

China already has the concept of "equality between men and women", so why should "feminism" be proposed?

Because women have been treated very unfairly in social status, they have been oppressed and discriminated against, and women's rights were born in order to resist these.

Feminism refers to the social theories and political movements founded and launched to end sexism, sexual exploitation, sexism and oppression, and promote gender equality.

Feminism is also known as feminism, feminism, women's emancipation (women's liberation), and gender equality (equality between men and women).

Feminist political activism challenges issues such as reproductive rights, abortion rights, education rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, pay equality, voting rights, representation, sexual harassment, sexism and sexual violence.

Long before the emergence of large-scale feminist movements, there were some sporadic feminist ideas and representatives in Western society. In Europe, someone has traced it back to the Middle Ages. From the 15th century onwards, some female voices can already be heard.

According to Western scholars, the world's first feminist was Christine de Pizan of France, who was born and died between 1364 and 1430.

In the 17th century, Mary Astell of England became the most radical and systematic feminist of her time. Her actions have been hailed as Britain's first feminist protest on a modest scale. The reason for this struggle was that Britain was in the initial stage of capitalist development, with the emergence of female workers in factories and a change in the social division of labour by gender.

On the European continent, the origins of the feminist movement are generally considered to have come from the influence of the liberal and egalitarian ideas of the French Revolution. French feminism was the first voice of the women's movement in the world, it was developed in the French Revolution, and the number of women who participated in the revolutionary struggle was very impressive. On July 14, 1789, women and men stormed the Bastille, and the women took part in the defense of Paris and the attack on Versailles.

This struggle was the first large-scale action of women in the history of France, and it marked the rise of the French women's movement and the consciousness of French women. At the same time, a number of women's clubs appeared in Paris, demanding the right to education and employment. In September 1791, the famous feminist activist Marie Gouze (later renamed Olympe de Guge) issued the first declaration of women's rights in the world and in the history of France, on behalf of her club, the "Feminist Declaration", which advocated that the fair rights of freedom and equality could not be limited to men.

But women were not recognized in the Revolution, and men were attacked. In 1793, French women suffered setbacks in their efforts to become French citizens—Olympe de Gouges, Marie-Jeanne Roland, and other female political activists were guillotined, feminist clubs and societies were banned, and women were banned from revolutionary activities in the public sphere, and France returned to a "male republic".

According to Western scholars, the first feminist in the world was Christine de Pizan of France, who was born and died between 1364 and 1430.

Feminism, also known as feminism, women's liberation, and gender equality, means ending the dark phenomena of sexism, oppression, and sexism, and promoting gender and class equality.

Further, feminism is synonymous with "affirmative action."

But I don't know when China's feminism became "women's boxing", and the slogan became "Punch hard, down with dog men".

Women's rights suddenly became "pastoral women's rights", and even developed into the point that once someone spoke up for women on the Internet, some people would jump out and point at the joke: "Come and see, everyone, the pastoral women's boxing has started to act again, and it is going to bite people again." ”

As a woman, it's really uncomfortable to hear such words.

On the one hand, I am ashamed of the "female hegemonists" who flaunt the banner of women's rights, and on the other hand, I am saddened by the fact that all social strata attack all women and supporters of peace rights in a way that does not understand the reason and generalizes.

When will Chinese-style feminism stop being stigmatized?

Female hegemony and feminism.

Chinese feudal society has long been suppressed by full-time male power, and in ancient times, men's status was higher than that of women, and women could almost be said to be men's vassals at that time. After thousands of years of oppression, coupled with the enlightenment of modern civilization, more and more women are learning to speak for themselves.

Chinese women tried to defend their rights and interests for the first time during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but because most of the women at this time came from the bottom and their strength was weak, they could not start and finish well.

And what really set off a wave was the late Qing Dynasty: there were more intellectual women, and the group power of actively fighting for women's rights became greater.

The consciousness and improvement of thinking awakened women's thoughts on their own rights and independence.

Later, the Women's Newspaper and the Women's World made great contributions to the further development of the feminist movement, at that time the foundation of the feminist movement was knowledge and education, and the propaganda of ideas at that time was carried out in women's publications, with the slogan "My generation loves freedom, and men and women are gifted with equal rights." ”

But in recent years, the feminist movement has suddenly taken a turn for the worse.

A large number of feminists do not understand the difference between equality and hegemony, and are only blindly engaged in the so-called "feminist battle" under the influence of herd mentality.

A considerable number of people will exaggerate the injustices suffered by women and exaggerate the problems faced by women.

For example, some time ago, in the discussion under the topic of women's rights, there was a remark that "women fell in a pool of blood and no one rescued them", which caused countless netizens to criticize - some real feminists refuted this sentence, saying that they were not so unbearable to fall in a pool of blood, and they didn't need any rescue; Some people also asked, "The man also fell in a pool of blood, why didn't you come to the rescue." ”

Among those who over-interpret "women's rights", some women believe that it is women's rights to occupy the high ground and have the right to speak and control, and in order to achieve this goal, there will be double standards, cursing men, and excessive rights protection. In fact, this is caused by the psychology of "giant babies".

The first feminist in the world was Christine de Pizan of France, who was born and died between 1364 and 1430.
