What is feminism?

Some people have misconception that feminism means only the rights and protests for women.  Simply put, feminism is about all genders having equal rights and opportunities in every field. 

Throughout most of Western history, women were confined to the domestic sphere, while public life was reserved for men. Women were denied the right to study, to own property, to run a business or to participate in public life. Women were barred from most professions. Such restrictions on women still continue in some parts of the world. Issues that affect feminism are the division of domestic labour, the media, social inequality and many more. 

People use terms like 'you're a girl, you're not allowed to do that', 'stop crying, boys don't cry', which are completely unacceptable. We have to normalize women running a business or doing jobs and also, men staying at home. 

Here is an amazing song lyric by Tupac, which I praise,

"And since we all came from a woman

Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up"
