When I have to defend....

I remember the clips that we watched on 9/19 that a guy asked people (males) about what they think about feminist.

On my way home, I wondered what if I was interviewing men and they say " women seems equal to men now and they have same previleges that men have so what is so bothering feminist that they should keep fight for it. Women are in higher position in thesedays compare to old days." If I am in that position, then I wouldn't be able to defend my position where there is still need of feminist to voice ther opinions.

Then later I found the answer! Feminists are making sure all the women's rights and previleges are settled and they are fight for women against women. I know that woman movement has been started since 1750 but real feminist theory is settled in 1940 which is not long enough time to settle them down and make it stable. I think what feminist are really need is to make sure if the rights and privileges that we earn is correctly translated to everyone.
And also, my understanding of fight is not feminist against men but women against women. Some female don't have the equal amount of access to the world while other females are. And this is the point where feminist step foreward to help them out. Especially women in third world, they need special care for them to protect them from the patriarchy society.
