11 – St. Augustine
Fexism
Equality of sexes is really a thing to be advocated as there should be no particular sex or people to dominate and

control the world base from their power. This is the reason why feminism, the belief that every gender or sex should

be given equal rights and opportunities in the society, is being supported and kept strong by most people across the

globe. Negatively, as the old saying goes, “Too much of everything is bad.” Sadly, this is a truth that we cannot deny

in our society today. Feminism is slowly turning into sexism or it is being used as a term to dilute sexism in a way that

it makes men as the villains in the society and shows that women are always behind everyone in the community.

“Men are trash”, a well-known stereotype that has been lingering around the globe and social media for the past few

years and had seemingly unified the ties between women in the society. Stereotypes like this is like bringing

someone off his own ladder just so you can climb his ladder and say that you are above him. Oftentimes, the

common reason why women had come up with this stereotype is due to those men who sexually abuse and assault

other genders. It is fair enough to say that this kind of action is undeniably trash, however, when a woman does a

thing like that, it is easy to notice that society does not care a bit or they will just accept their reason behind it. For

instance, a woman who tries to sexually abuse her boyfriend in the public won’t even get any attention to the others

as they would say that she was just being ‘clingy’. On the other hand, when a man tries to be ‘clingy’, people would

argue and tell that he is a maniac or rapist.

To empower women, feminists would say that women are always left behind in the community. It ignites the heart of

every woman to fight for their rights and opportunities in the society, which is truly a good effect. However, this kind of

reason that they use is like saying that women are always left behind because they are women. It draws conclusion

that women actually hate themselves and they neglect their own capabilities, instead, they push themselves to do the

capabilities of others so they could lift their pride in the society.

At last, feminism is turning into sexism for it degrades men and even hates women. We could say that not everything

that other people have is in you and not everything that you have is in them. We must push for equality in the rights

and opportunities of the people, yet, we must be fair in every situation for everyone has their own unique capabilities.
