FEMINISM: GOOD OR BAD?
INTRODUCTION: Everyone has their own perspective on

feminism, but according to oxford dictionary feminism is defined
as “The belief and the aim that women should have the same
rights and opportunities as men; the struggle to achieve this aim”.
Feminism puts women’s voices front and center. The narrowing of

feminism has presented itself in subtle and not so subtle ways. A
person who supports the belief that women should have the same
rights and opportunities as men is called as “Feminist”. The first
wave of feminism emphasized on women’s emancipation and
equality, whereas the second wave focused on female oppressions
and struggled for their liberation. The third wave stressed the
individual empowerment.
Feminism is not a static notion; rather it evolves with us

throughout our lives and is shaped by the various lenses we use to
view the world at large and, most importantly, ourselves. Today,
more women than ever before are active participants in higher
education. For example, more than 50% of all undergraduate
students are women and the numbers of women graduate,
professional, and doctoral-degree recipients and faculty are
increasing.
Need:
Women have something valuable to contribute to every aspect of
the world. As an oppressed group, women have been unable to
achieve their potential, receive rewards, or gain full participation
in society. Equality in culture doesn’t require sameness. There’s a
different equality in looks, strengths and ways of thought, and
sameness in looks, strengths and ways of thought. We still need
feminism because when people get married it is assumed the
woman will take the man’s last name. Because when women are
assaulted, they’re often the ones who feel ashamed. Feminist
research should do more than critique, but should work toward
social transformation.
