Is Feminism Still Relevant?

Joyous uni occasionally has less than joyous - but still necessary - debates, and I am a great lover debates.


The other day there was a debate on whether feminism is still relevant. I know right? Of course it is. To say it is not is completely ignorant and ethnocentric. Whether you believe there is gender equality in this country or not, you can in no-way deny that feminism is still needed as a movement to promote gender equality worldwide. Note the use of the words 'gender equality', that is, as it says, the equality of the genders (genders being fluid and many, we reject binary here, guys). For some reason people have this obscure perception that feminism is 'man-hating', a lot of this is probably down to the lack of mainstream feminist debate in popular culture *sigh*.

Just wanted to get that out there, it is still relevant, somewhere for someone. Don't hate.
