So I personally think women were disadvantaged heavily in previous years and feminism has helped bring equality for women in many aspects. However, now I can’t help but feel like it has lost its meaning. The media makes women seem they are at a disadvantage all the time even though they aren’t. A lot of women blame the patriarchy for their lack of opportunities and whatnot but I think these are just excuses. My dad moved to the United States from his country and he barely knew any English. He used to live in one of the most poorest villages in his country. He is now a software engineer making over 300k a year. I’m not saying this to brag or anything but if my dad can come here to the US from basically nothing and build a successful career, then why can’t a woman born here do the same. What opportunities do her male peers have that she doesn’t. And also, my dad never once used his race as an excuse for anything. Like yeah there are racists out there, but if you work hard then you will be successful. He never victimized himself. I don’t know if this is just American women, but feminism has now made women think that they’re disadvantaged because they aren’t handed everything. There are definitely some men out there who are very sexist towards women, but I don’t think all that affects women as much as a lot of feminists claim it does. When do you guys think we will get out of this “all women are disadvantaged” phase?
