Penicillin and plastic bags help a lot, fridges and hot water make manliness more comfortable and Tom Ford's fragrance range makes it smell better, but the idea that has pushed our lives into the light more than any other -ism or -ology is feminism.
It is the woman - nearly always - in spite of all the advances of modern feminism, who still takes responsibility for the bulk of the chores, as well as doing her paid job. This is true even in households where men try to be unselfish and to do their share.
Feminism is sort of like God. Many people profess to believe in it, but no one seems to be able to define it to everyone's satisfaction.
Feminism isn't just for women. It's for men.
Really, feminism is just about equality, and that's all. It's just saying equal rights.
I understand this fear of the word 'feminism,' and I understand the fear of saying it because it becomes as divisive as 'sexism' has become. But I know a lot of male feminists.
Having a daughter has reawakened my sense of feminism. I want to protect her.
I think feminism is the worst thing that ever happened to women. Our job used to be no job. We had it so good!
My definition of feminism is a social, political, economic system by which all genders are valued, respected, and can live dignified lives.
My mum fought for feminism in her day so instilled in me the importance of equality. She taught me so much about women.
