The feminist movement (also known as the Women's Movement, Women's Liberation, or Women's Lib) refers to a series of campaigns for reforms on issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, voting rights, sexual harassment, and sexual violence. The goals of the movement vary from country to country, e.g. opposition to female genital cutting in Sudan, or to the glass ceiling in Western countries.

The movement's history has gone through three waves, beginning in the 18th century. The First-wave was oriented around the station of middle or upper-class white women, and involved suffrage and political equality. Second-wave feminism attempted to further combat social and cultural inequalities. Third-wave feminism was a reaction to and continuation from the second-wave, taking a post-structuralist analysis of femininity to argue that there is in fact no all-encompassing single feminist idea. It set itself against essentialist definitions of femininity, which assume a universal female identity, instead emphasizing discursive power and the ambiguity of gender. Third-wave theory incorporates elements of queer theory, anti-racism, and other hallmarks of modern progressivism.

The feminist movement has brought a sweeping variety of social and cultural change, its impact touching familial relations, religion, the place of women in society, gendered language, and relationships between men and women.

Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm (November 30, 1924 -- January 1, 2005) was an American politician, educator, and author. She was a Congresswoman, representing New York's 12th Congressional District for seven terms from 1969 to 1983. In 1968, she became the first black woman elected to Congress. On January 25, 1972, she became the first major-party black candidate for President of the United States and the first woman to run for the Democratic presidential nomination (Margaret Chase Smith had previously run for the Republican presidential nomination). She received 152 first-ballot votes at the 1972 Democratic National Convention.

@victorsvoice

Utter lunacy, there is no more mindless propaganda than the anti-female videos you promote. You should be shot for treason.

[victorsvoice]

@VanessaFP88 Visit manwomanmyth com and go onto the video page. Stop saying such fucking hateful things, feminist.

[victorsvoice]

@HardlineFeminist I should be shot?

And this comment comes from a feminist. Here we see how truly hateful and angry you really are.

Feminism = Female supremacism.

You're not any better than a racist or nazi.

@VanessaFP88 ,

Yes men create wars but most women don't want equality: either they love how they contribute themselves to a patriarchal society OR they love how they would never be culpable for anything being rambunctious as ever in a matriarchal society.

Women must be controlled in order for the nuclear family to exist. Women are like children after they matured.

Oh my God.

I condemn both misandry AND misogyny. Yes, the world was largely dominated by men up till the 1970s - some parts of the world still are. However, when we take a look back at history, to counter-balance a set mentality, an EXTREME movement has always emerged. With time, things will balance out.

But for now, stop and think a bit. Yes, I am a woman. Yes, you are a man. That does not mean you are some alien species! Discrimination of the sexes is always wrong - no matter the sex!

[VanessaFP88]

I´m proud of being a Feminist. Men created war, not women. Women want equality, not war and suffering. While men were killing and bombing, women were taking care of them in hospitals. So, shut up and respect women, or didn´t you have a mother? I have a father and a mother, and I respect them equaly.

[onlyway2christ1]

Men took the Metal outta the Mountains, Melted it, to Make the Machinery that Makes the world turn today!

In Genesis 3:12 it says that Eve was the one DECEIVED, and brought sin into the Whole Human Race! But men are the ones who take the blame.

[onlyway2christ1]

Women wanna have full control of anything in everything ALL the time, NO MATTER what, except one thing. And that is as soon as they screw something up, they just slip the situation over to the man! See what he did?

Now they use their looks as a weapon so they can use men. God said in Gen.2:18 It is not good for MAN to be alone, I will make a >>>HELPMATE FOR HIM!!!<<<

All I ask is 4 her to be there for me as I live my life ALL for Her!!!

Jesus Saves
