Feminism

You believe in achieving gender equality and empowering all individuals, regardless of their sex, to have equal opportunities and rights in society.

Feminism is a political ideology that advocates for the social, political, and economic equality of all genders. It is a movement that seeks to challenge and change the patriarchal systems and structures that have historically marginalized and oppressed women and other gender minorities. Feminism is not a monolithic ideology, but rather a collection of diverse perspectives and theories that share a common goal of gender equality.

The history of feminism can be traced back to the late 18th century, although the term "feminism" itself was not coined until the late 19th century…

What challenges do you foresee for the next generation when it comes to gender equality, and how might they overcome them?

 @9HXG2K9 from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that there are a lot of different ways that people are discriminated against for and I think that equal pay and rights for women is just another way that needs to be improved.

 @9HYRF24 from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Women already have equal pay. The myth that women don't have equal pay is based on the average earnings of males compared to females. Females typically take lower paying and less dangerous jobs, as well as having less leadership roles, thus their pay is lower on average.

 @9HYRMNLRepublican from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Women have the same rights as men, and they are not paid less. They accumulate less money over time due to less hours worked overall and a the personal choice to peruse lower paying careers.

 @9HXFXT5Independent from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

that we have created a society that is split on gender lines due to feminism and anti feminism, instead of trying to bridge the gap between us

 @9HXFZG7 from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

Females have more leniency on the law especially when it’s involved with a male

 @9HXG2WY from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

There are going to be more challenges on females in the future based on the current challenges, and our rights may eventually be taken completely

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can you share an instance where someone's gender expectations of you felt limiting or empowering?

 @9J7RS7K from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

My opinion/stance is always overlooked or completely ignored when I express it; or I'm called a 'b*tch'.. which I prefer since at least they're hearing me.

 @9KY6LGG from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

No. I respect the limits and roles of both genders as created by God in His wisdom. To reject these is to embrace social anarchy and the destruction of the nuclear family.

 @9J7SDQ5 from West Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

there are misogynistic people everywhere so when you have the power to say no that is nice but there's also a feeling of disappointment that comes along with it in numerous aspects.

 @9J7S56YIndependent from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes everyone should be equal but the. You are not allowed to go back and say you cant because im a woman or such or complain that now you have to work cause we all do

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you handle situations where you feel like your gender is being used to define your abilities or potential?

 @9HVZ6DXPeace and Freedom from South Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

i feel like anything a boy can do a girl can do it to

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Girls are more emotional & sensitive than boys

 @9HWFLMB from Washington  agreed…2yrs2Y

Its not okay to say that boys are stronger than girls, girls are more flexible than boys and boys are stronger

 @9HVYX4C from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

I stick up for myself and I won’t let myself be restricted by my gender.

 @9HW4774Peace and Freedom from South Carolina  agreed…2yrs2Y

I would argue that no matter what we are all citizens in America and all have the opportunity to be highly successful .

 @9HVYZ83 from West Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

When comparing men to women, it feels unfair for a gender that is seen as fragile and dainty be seen as less and weak compared to the opposite sex because of assigned gender and social norm.

 @9HVZ5PV from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

handle them by proving your abilities or potential

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How can we contribute to a culture that celebrates gender diversity in our everyday lives?

 @9J6WL7X  from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

You shouldn’t judge by their gender orientation or sexuality or race and you should not chastise them for it it’s their buissness not yours you should leave it alone if that’s their choice that’s their choice period point blank.

 @9J6VHWT from Iowa  answered…2yrs2Y

By being more inclusive and actually knowing the facts.

 @9JCG247 from Oregon  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Gender diversity is a ridiculous concept that should not be enshrined in our government or culture. It divides our people even further into different marginalized labels that hurts our culture by promoting false ideas of human sex and the nature of man and woman.

 @9J5Y6G9 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

We can have an open mindset regarding gender diversity, and continue to be up to date with politics and our government.

 @9KY6LGG from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

Why would I want to contribute to something so horrible?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What would an ideal gender-equal educational system look like to you?

 @9HWBFN5 from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

Equal rights, equal pay, equal insurance, equal life.

 @9HWB46WLibertarian from Oregon  answered…2yrs2Y

A system where regardless of gender everyone is offered the same opportunities.

 @9HWB5LQ from Nebraska  answered…2yrs2Y

Everyone is given the same education, with the same opportunities

 @9HWB3H5 from Nebraska  answered…2yrs2Y

Ever one is treated the same but in our schools now the women are proatiesed which is bad

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In what ways do you believe men can also benefit from feminism?

 @9H7XVZJGreen from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Feminism isn't about women being better than men, it's about true equality. Feminism promotes more mental health resources for men and fights against double standards for men and women.

 @9H7YHQWanswered…2yrs2Y

They can't, most feminists are lesbian and that means fewer potential girlfriends and/or wives for straight guys

 @9H7YKCT from Nebraska  answered…2yrs2Y

They learn more about woman, more than they normally do

 @9H7YB3L from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Destigmatizing mental health, developing healthy romance

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In what ways have you seen gender equality improve in your lifetime, and what hopes do you have for its future?

 @9HV26SQ from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

I have seen more women get higher paying jobs than what we have had in the past. I have also seen some women getting the chance to have a job that normally only men would have (as our standard would think). For the future I hope that more women can get higher positions and they can have more of a voice than what we do now.

 @9HTQ4V8 from Kentucky  answered…2yrs2Y

women are more respected today than they were 100 years ago

 @9HTPWLC from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

women can do the same thing men do In the workforce and are valued just as much i hope in the future it improves even more like getting a female president

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's one change you'd like to see in your lifetime regarding gender equality?

 @9HJ7DWW from Kentucky  answered…2yrs2Y

2 genders and 2 genders alone and no more same sex marriages

 @9HJ7YFM from Iowa  answered…2yrs2Y

I think all genders had to have equal rights and opportunities.

 @B4QRMCRIndependent from New York  answered…1yr1Y

No one should care how anyone identifies. Everyone deserves dignity and respect. But, avoid regulation.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would worldwide gender equality alter the current state of global politics and leadership?

 @9HXDHFNPeace and Freedom  from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

The feminist movement has effected change in Western society, including women's suffrage; greater access to education; more equitable pay with men; the right to initiate divorce proceedings.

 @9HXDS6H from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

We are already equal as men and women, Women usually don't take the work that pays more and is harder to do.

 @9HXDQSF from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

Feminism should be more important, Women still get the same rights as men but they have less opportunity to be hired for the same position as a man . Or get paid less etc.

 @9KY6LGG from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

By significantly worsening it

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you had the power to change one thing to make the world more gender-equal, what would it be and why?

 @9HJMXWV from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Equality in court, women can lie and accuse an innocent man of rape and ruin that man's life, and then that same woman can get away without penalty. More women are trusted rather than men in domestic disputes, court cases, and many other occurrences. This needs to end, for women, and men to be equal, there needs to be complete equality in all aspects of our society.

 @9RYLJPM from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

Women have the right to make their own decisions about their healthcare.

 @9HJMXYP from California  answered…2yrs2Y

having media and entertainment have a feminists advisor around to look at what their going to produce

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you think feminism is still relevant today, and why or why not?

 @9H6Q3ZRDemocrat from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

yes it is relevant today because women to this day still don't get treated equally

 @B3HF5BKLibertarian from Idaho  answered…1yr1Y

Not today, but it was relevant back then.

 @9H6PZ7P from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, it still is because woman should be treated equally as men in a lot of ways.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If given the chance, what message about gender equality would you want to broadcast to the world?

 @9HH5FP8 from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Gender is a manmade concept made to bend the power structure anyway they can

 @9HJ42DQWomen’s Equalityanswered…2yrs2Y

Women can do everything that men can do, so they should have the same rights.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

When choosing your future career, how does gender play a role in your decision-making process?

 @9HXFYD5 from Idaho  answered…2yrs2Y

I dont think it plays a big role as I am able to do basically anything a man could.

 @9HXFY5B from Indiana  answered…2yrs2Y

Gender plays no role in my decision making process.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's one gender stereotype that you wish would disappear, and why?

 @9HXFSB6Women’s Equality from Idaho  answered…2yrs2Y

toxic masculine men, such as andrew tate, hurt not only women and their rights, but promotes hurtful, dangerous mentalities in men.

 @9HXFX2D from Kansas  answered…2yrs2Y

one gender stereotype that i would like to disappear are that women and men should both be held accountable if one was to falsely accuse someone of sexual assault

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you were to teach someone about the importance of gender equality, what personal story or example would you share?

 @9HCSVM4Peace and Freedom from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

That if you want to make more money you must work hard without many stops and if you work hard you will go farther.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How has a personal experience influenced your understanding of why gender equality is important?

 @9HXFTV3 from Indiana  answered…2yrs2Y

I am a woman in America so I have had experiences that a man could never have. Women are simply treated differently. A much older man in a position of power has taken advantage of me before in what started in the workplace and even if I tried to speak up about the situation nothing was done. That man lives life completely free of any consequences regarding his behavior towards children and his abuse of power, and I have to live with the trauma he caused me for the rest of my life. This is so much more common than people realize and women are constantly being taken advantage of and treated as beneath men.

 @9HXH7P7 from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that there shouldn't be restrictions for each gender to do what the other can, as it would be unfair if a male doctor doesn't earn the same as a female doctor that do the same thing.

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Women have the same God-given natural rights to life, liberty, and property, as men do. But they also have different roles in society than men do. God created them to be mothers, and homemakers, and that's where most would find maximum fulfilment. God designed men to be the workers, the farmers, the leaders, of a free society. Men and women have equal rights, but it's only in that sense that they're equal. They have different roles, different talents, strengths, and weaknesses. Feminism is a scam – women cannot find true fulfilment in it.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do gender roles in your family compare with those around the world, and what's your take on that?

 @9HJ6KVV from Iowa  answered…2yrs2Y

We have more women in our family, so feminism is a big thing for us.

 @9HJ6D9Q from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that in the US women have it easier than some in other countries

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's one thing that schools could do better to foster an understanding of feminism?

 @BC365TWDemocrat from Ohio  answered…2mos2MO

Feminism ideals aren't discussed enough in public high schools; ideology is generally sometimes seems taboo. What my peers do know about feminism, however, is mostly distorted: They think of distinctly secular women content on rising above men.

Schools need to address the feminist perspective, using interpretations from all stakeholders. I'm all for the counterargument, but it needs to be done effectively. This curriculum would include the historical origins of the movement/ideology, presenting it as less of just a modern-day phenomena.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What role do you think men should play in the feminist movement?

 @9KY6LGG from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

They should do everything in their power to debunk it

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Have you ever questioned a tradition or custom because it seemed to favor one gender over another?

 @9HJJTS3 from Massachusetts  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but it seems society is structured so as to favor women over men in terms of general customs, like with divorce.

 @9HJJZ6R from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, the payment inequality between men and women in the same job being the main one to stick out to me.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In discussions about equality, what's a question you wish people would ask more often to better understand diverse perspectives?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's one story from your own life that illustrates the need for gender equality?

 @9HJMS5H from Louisiana  answered…2yrs2Y

There is no need to separate rights just because of someone’s gender; male or female, we are all people made of flesh and blood who are here to enjoy life to the fullest. (Other than assigned bathrooms and stuff of course, but I’m talking about rights and stuff like that.)

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What changes would you make in your school or community to promote feminism?

 @9H784MX from Nevada  answered…2yrs2Y

No more excuses for bad behavior of men and boys. Women still have a responsibility to compete. No free rides because of gender.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How can we, as a society, challenge and overcome gender biases in our daily interactions?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's one act of gender-based injustice that you feel needs more attention?

 @9HJW9TR from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Not being able to choose what we do with our body.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Reflect on a time when you supported a friend or peer in overcoming a gender-based challenge; what was the outcome?

 @9HXFXWBCommunist from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

My friend was hit by his girlfriend and he pushed her to get her off of him and he was seen as the bad guy.!? His girlfriend was viewed as the victim by many but with enough evidence and talking she got in trouble and he didn’t.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How can awareness of gender issues be increased in industries that are traditionally male or female-dominated?

 @9J4VC4NIndependent from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

Communicating more to industries to show the difference in pay and positions will allow for more awareness in the problems at hand.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Have you ever witnessed or experienced gender inequality, and how did it make you feel?

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
