Feminism


Feminism- the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. In other words, women standing up for what they believe in because they think that they are equal to men in every way. I am a 15 year-old male and I agree with feminism. Although men and women aren’t necessarily equal in everything, they should have the same rights and be treated alike. Like every topic, there are good role models, and then there are bad role models. An example of good role models for feminism would be Hillary Clinton, or Whoopi Goldberg. Both of these women do their best in raising rallies to support their cause and get the idea out. But for every protagonist, there is an antagonist. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson; all of these women are the complete opposite of what women are fighting for. They go out and get high and drunk every night. They use their sexuality for things only they would think of. These are very bad examples of someone fighting for feminism.
Now for the daily sample of Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is the Hillary Clinton of her time. She shows Macbeth the way, and knows how to manipulate the opposite sex. She persuaded her husband, Macbeth, a strong warrior, to kill a man, causing him to go on a killing spree. Lady Macbeth is a strong feminist in my eyes.
