Feminism
To start off, do you believe in Sexism or is it feminism that you support? In general “Feminism” also known as “Feminist Movement, Women’s Lib and the Women’s Movement", it is that a Women should be treated as equally as men in all social affairs, whether it’s a political law established or either any minor act in civilization.
“The first Women's Conference in Seneca Falls, United states of America, in 1848”, was one of the first Women’s Movement organisation, to "gain equal opportunities among both genders", involving the following consecutive problems such as , access high level of education, equal salary between both genders , divorce and plenty more inadequate acts.
I once watched a movie in Cineplex at the Devonshire mall called Suffragette, meaning “a woman seeking the right to vote through organized protest”. A suffragette is a group of women in the nineteenth and twentieth century who were British, known as "WSPU (Women’s Social and Political Unions) whose principal leaders were Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst. The movie unveiled" some pretty courageous acts of women protesting against sexism, one of my favorite scenes was the part where a group of unknown women, break windows of working shops made just for men yelling “Women’s should have the same right!!!” or something much like that. They could have been executed, but they were fearlessness to the consequences and faced all possible danger, to earn the same rights as men did.

In their shoes, I would have been furious about such inequality present in that time. “You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman.” This quote written by Mary Elizabeth Winsted, in my opinion, is just another reason to stand tall and face any racism or prejudicial sayings about women, think about all those stereotypes out there in our everyday lives. The following stereotype to me feels like a knife stabbed through my heart “Women don’t need to go to college”, my question to those people is why not?
Learning is for everyone who wants to be independent and do something they love in their lives. In conclusion, why should I depend on my husband's or father's skills and brain when I, female women, have my own intelligence and proficiency?
