Lets discuss... Feminism!

About this event

Lets discuss... Feminism! Typically Feminism is defined as a belief that men and women are owed the same rights, protections and opportunities in society. To be feminist was once a proud statement of classic liberals. But since then, many different feminist groups have emerged, driven by disagreements over ideology, most sharply on who can be considered a woman. Most third wave feminists share the framework that men as a class are historic oppressors of women as a class. Their goal is to disrupt and dismantle this dynamic, called Patriarchy, and the systems of power that uphold it. What positive aspects of feminism are there? How do we maintain them despite the growing bad name of modern feminism? Are men and women responsible as identity classes, or individuals? 🗣️ Quote "All oppression creates a state of war. And this is no exception." • Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex. \*Please do your own research and share resources related to this topic in the comments below or via telegram group chat. 🔍 🖼️ Artwork: Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi, 1620. —————————————————————————————— 💛 Support The Examined Life Enjoying the discussions?
