Answer 1

Feminism encompasses so much theory and covers so many issues it would be hard pressed to define it in simple terms. I know of many Muslim feminists, as well as feminists that exist in South African states. Every group has a key component that they are trying to change but the stance on equality goes for each group. Liberal feminism works at changes within the current system while radical feminism sees the current situation as unsalvageable.
I find it interesting that anti feminists don't understand that example of oppression cannot stand alone. When one person is disenfranchised it affects all. Paulo Freire believes that the oppressed should embrace the oppressors. When one group oppresses another it merely shows them this is the way to do it. We as a society need to change that so people can live in equality.

Answer 2

There are geographical differences.
Western feminism is the self-indulgence of a spoiled culture, in which women get to manifest their spoiledness more than men. Elsewhere, feminism is really needed, and it would be nice if Western feminists didn't infect the more authentic struggle for women's rights with self-indulgence, solipsism, and the falsehoods that follow from self-deception. Many lesser-developed nations, whatever else their shortcomings, have enough common sense to fight Western feminism (like the rest of Western popular culture) as if it were the Bubonic Plague.

Answer 3

Deirdre O
Is correct, I believe that feminist work to improve the conditions that exist within their Culture, A young Muslim issues / priorities would be completely different, than a young American woman's. Their issue could be to stop genital mutilation, forced marriages and better treatment within their marriage. An American woman's could be equal opportunity in employment. Etc.

Answer 4

Yes. But, the issues effecting women are different in every different culture. Every culture is a unique stew of meanings from which women form their concepts of rising. An excellent book to read that describes Chicana realities, for example, is Ana Castillo's novel, "So Far From God".

Answer 5

Men and women are created equal and possess equal dignity. Nature has assigned us different roles and talents. This should apply to everyone throughout all nations and cultures !

A feminism which demands abortion rights over the unborn should apply to no one anywhere !!! It is a culture of DEATH !!!

Answer 6

It certainly should be. We can't confine feminism to one nation when women in other nations have it much worse.

Answer 7

Whatever it is this is the cure.
