Feminism is a real theory but people misinterpret what feminism actually means. I get annoyed at female celebrities that water down this theory for marketing purposes.
Feminism is a complex theoretical theory that covers a wide range of issues and topics. There are different types of feminist and it is more to being a feminist besides being " sexually liberated and independent ". It focuses on how women are represented in the political world and how we are depicted in society among other things.
Women are considered the weaker/subordinate sex because our culture is heavily dominated by men. Our culture has changed some what thanks to the woman's movement and other equality causes, however the fact still remains men are more dominate, have more power and opportunities simply because they are "men".
I think people should not feed into this societal stereotype and ignore gender expected roles.
If your a man, it is expected that you act aggressive and not show emotion.
If your a woman, it is expected that you are meek, timid, etc.
If the genders fall short from these expected behaviors, they are judged harshly.
A woman is consider a bitch if she is to confident and outspoken
likewise
A man is consider weak or "less of a man" if he is shy or shows emotions.
It is all b.s.
People should be accepted the way they are and it doesn't make anyone less than their gender (which is a societal construct within itself so it's already b.s. to begin with)
