Feminism is not a radical idea from "summary" of We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Feminism is not a radical idea. It is not an idea that should incite fear or provoke outrage. It is simply the belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. It is the idea that women should have the same opportunities as men, that they should be able to pursue their dreams and ambitions without being held back by their gender. And yet, for some reason, the word "feminism" has become loaded with negative connotations. It has become associated with radicalism, with anger, with man-hating. But this is not what feminism is about. Feminism is not about hating men. It is not about wanting to oppress or belittle them. It is simply about wanting to be treated as equals, about wanting to have the same rights and opportunities as men. In some ways, it is easy to see why people are afraid of feminism. It challenges the status quo, it questions long-held beliefs and traditions. It forces us to confront the ways in which our society is structured to benefit men at the expense of women. But this is not something to be afraid of. This is something to be embraced. Feminism is not about tearing down men. It is about building up women. It is about empowering them, giving them the tools and the opportunities they need to succeed. It is about creating a world where everyone, regardless of their gender, has the chance to live up to their full potential. So let us not be afraid of feminism. Let us not dismiss it as a radical idea. Let us instead embrace it, and work together to create a more just and equal society for all.
