Th...The word 'humanist' has different connotations. The humanist ideal is the ideal of the individual, which is in conflict with the ideal of feminism. <br /><br />As for feminism, I think that most of you here are confusing it with democratic equality. Feminism is required in order to defy a socio cultural construct known as patriarchy. <br /><br />I would appreciate it if we stopped loosely commenting about feminism without having adequate knowledge about it. The phrase 'bra burning feminism' is often used in a derogatory manner, making some feminists appear mad and frenzied. The point is, you need to understand history. Every movement is specific to the demands of the situation. When women did not have the right to vote, the suffragettes had to chain themselves to the walls of the Parliament in order to get their rights. Just like the conditions leading to Second Wave Feminism demanded bra burning. <br /><br />I find this trend in ourselves quite disconcerting. Somehow, without knowing enough about an ideology, we tend to make comments about it. That is indeed disheartening. <br /><br />Nice blog, though.Oshtorombhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231129913834054258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702927434455018993.post-71695303786678299242009-04-13T04:12:00.000+05:302009-04-13T04:12:00.000+05:30Humanist would be lovely.
