Wikipedia from sexism to equality feminism
(Feminist Books picture from Harpersbazzar)
I have always found the concept of sexism to be interesting. This led me to my first article titled Sexism. I enjoy reading about this because it helps me to understand why I relate to feminism as a whole and it also helps to see where the feminist movement comes from. This led me to my second article Androcentrism.
Androcentrism is the exact opposite of feminism as it focuses strictly on lifting the male up while placing the female at a lower level. This of course is sexism at its finest and it is not fair to women to have to fight this type of prejudice.
In similar fashion the article of Gynocentrism is about the same except it is the oposite of Androcentrism. This viewpoint does not consider that men also have feminine traits and this, therefore, negatively affects feminism because so much of the ideas of feminism is equality between the sexes.
This led me to the article for Equality Feminism which is a viewpoint that holds that men and women should be equal in all aspects of life because of the gender non-binary nature of the human race. I have a tendency to agree with most aspects of this type of feminism because most people no matter if they are female or male have feminine and masculine traits to their personallity. I have also been raised by a strong independant woman which is my mother and my grandmother is quite the same. These viewpoints can be positive or negative but learning the differences is always a challenge and is fun.
I enjoy a quote from Beyoncé's song Flawless. The quote is this, "Feminist: A person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes." I am not sure of the author of this definition. If you are interested in reading the articles I would strongly encourage them as they are a good read.
