HISTORY OF FEMINISM
• MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT IS SEEN BY MANY AS A FOUNDER OF FEMINISM DUE TO
HER 1792 BOOK TITLED A VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN IN WHICH SHE
ARGUES FOR WOMEN'S EDUCATION.

• CHARLES FOURIER, A UTOPIAN SOCIALIST AND FRENCH PHILOSOPHER, IS

CREDITED WITH HAVING COINED THE WORD "FÉMINISME" IN 1837.
FEMINISM
• FEMINISM IS A RANGE OF SOCIO-POLITICAL MOVEMENTS AND IDEOLOGIES THAT
AIM TO DEFINE AND ESTABLISH THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, PERSONAL, AND
SOCIAL EQUALITY OF THE SEXES.

• FEMINISM HOLDS THE POSITION THAT SOCIETIES PRIORITIZE THE MALE POINT OF
VIEW AND THAT WOMEN ARE TREATED UNJUSTLY IN THESE SOCIETIES.

• FEMINIST MOVEMENTS HAVE CAMPAIGNED AND CONTINUE TO CAMPAIGN

FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE, RUN FOR PUBLIC
OFFICE, WORK, EARN EQUAL PAY, OWN PROPERTY, RECEIVE EDUCATION, ENTER
CONTRACTS, HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS WITHIN MARRIAGE, AND MATERNITY LEAVE.

PEOPLE OF OTHER GENDERS DO NOT DESERVE RESPECT.

• PSEUDO FEMINISM DESIRES TO RESOLVE ALL THE INJUSTICES COMMITTED ON

WOMEN BY ATTACKING ON AND DEMEANING MEN.

NOW, EVEN IF WE SURPASS MEN, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT.
 SIGNS OF PSUEDO FEMINIST

• HOW REGRESSIVE IT IS TO LOOK FOR A HOME MAKER FOR MARRIAGE -ALL MEN
WANTS TO MARRY A HOME MAKER BRIDES WHICH IS SUCH A BAD THING WHILE THE
WOMEN SEEKING WELL ESTABLISHED AND EARNING GROOMS IS COMPLETELY OKAY.
THESE PSEUDO FEMINIST FORGET THAT FINDING A LIFE PARTNER IS A PERSONAL
PERSPECTIVE OF AN INDIVIDUAL.

• ALL MEN ARE DOGS BUT NEVER CALL HER A BITCH- HE BROKE UP WITH HER, ALL
MEN ARE DOGS! RAPES AND DOMESTIC ABUSES ONLY HAPPEN TO WOMEN AND ALL
MEN ARE SAME! ALL MEN PROPAGATE MISOGYNY AND CAN NOT BE FEMINIST!

• THEY WILL NEVER TELL YOU THE TRUTH -THEY WILL NEVER TELL YOU THAT TRUE
FEMINISM STARTS AT HOME AND BELIEVE IN EQUALITY WHICH IS ABOUT BALANCING
THEIR OWN WORK-HOME LIVES. THEY WILL TELL YOU ABOUT NEGLECTING YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS, HOUSES AND JUSTIFY FIGHTING WITH HUSBANDS BECAUSE THEN
ONLY YOU ARE A FEMINIST.
