What Feminism Is And Is Not

[Uma Shivapriya]

Sarojini Sahoo thinks feminism should not act in opposition to men as
individuals. To her, feminism is against oppressive and outdated
social structures which forces both men and women into positions which
are false and antagonistic. Thus, everyone has an important role to
play in the feminist movement. It seems ironic that feminism has been
characterized as anti-male, when in fact, it seeks to liberate men
from the macho stereotypic roles men often have to endure such as the
need to suppress feelings, act aggressively, and be deprived of
contact with children. Sahoo thinks people should emphasize our
femininity rather to impose the so-called stereotyped feministic
attitude of the second wave.
