Last time I heard is not the case Molly. I can be wrong but a friend of mine who lives in the US claims there's a large number of women in that area who never heard of equal rights or ever a possibility at all.
I beg to disagree, feminism as a movement has an ultimate objective, that is for women to be given the same rights with men on equal pay, treatment and recognition.
To me, that purpose was accomplishes through the movement called feminism. It basically opened up our ability as women to be able to enjoy the political and social benefits of equality.
Below is from Google, which I definitely agree.
"Feminists are not angry lesbians who hate men. Feminists do not believe women are better than men, or that women deserve special privileges. They do not believe women are victims.
In order to be considered a feminist, you only need to be on board with one idea: All humans, male and female, should have equal political, economic and social rights.
Although more and more people are beginning to understand the true definition of feminism and openly identifying with it, there has always been a negative stigma attached to it. Part of this problem is the way our media sensationalizes things, trying to pass the most radical and extreme versions as the standard which, in this case, depicts a feminist as a man-hater who hates lipstick, crinkles her nose at stay-at-home moms, and unapologetically supports abortions on demand."
