Is Feminism the right movement in attainment of a mutual status?
Before we explore this topic let us define the core meaning of this term ‘Feminism.’ According to the Oxford English dictionary it is "the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.” Well in this prototypical scenario, men and women should be living equally, have the same right to political power, have the same opportunities socially, culturally and economically. This brings us to explore a new key concept of gender equality. Gender equality states that ‘the goal of the equality of the genders, stemming from a belief in the injustice of myriad forms of gender inequality. This goal includes making women's rights equal to men's and also making men's rights equal to women's, as follows.’ The history of the suppression of women and the patriarchal society which are slowly emerging out of, have confused us between these two terms.
The genesis of the women’s liberation movement came from the violent reactivity to the male chauvinism, women liberation sort to rebel against the denial of their rights and to trying to seek dominion over their status in society. The denial and discrimination on the account to social equality, voting ability and equality as a member of society fuels the bohemian nature of this movement. On a bid to rebel, the women liberation took on equally violent as its anti-thesis; in its form there becomes dysfunctional and insatiable as the antagonist it seeks to destroy. Women Empowerment is now becoming a rebellious movement through which women seek to ascertain a moment of self-aggrandizing glory, however still defeating the fundamental purpose it set out to achieve.
