Feminism in Africa
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">When you hear the word, "feminism" or "feminist" what comes to mind? </span></p><p><br/></p><p>Some may say, "It's women trying to dominate men and take over". Others say, "women hiding under a cover to hate men". </p><p><br/></p><p>I have a different point of view concerning feminism. </p><p><br/></p><p>Feminism in simple terms is women fighting for equal rights in a country, state, or society. Yes, fighting for equal rights, not dominating as a lot of people like to call it. </p><p><br/></p><p>Why do we fight for feminism? Because of the unequal treatment in the society amongst males and females. In most African countries or Africa as a whole, women are said to be destined for the kitchen, to be a housewife, sometimes they don't go to school because it's not seen as important, after all, "she'll just get married and submit to her husband" </p><p><br/></p><p>No! </p><p><br/></p><p>Women should be allowed to dream, to thrive. Education is for all, and because one day she'll get married doesn't mean she shouldn't learn. </p><p><br/></p><p>Some cultures believe women should be treated as less. Those customs are outdated, and sadly some people still believe it, feel it's the right thing. Now, I'm not asking you to lose your traditional roots, tradition is important. All I'm saying is, those customs should be updated. It's time to stop living in the era of cavemen. </p><p><br/></p><p>Feminism is not only for women, I believe men should join hands and move for the empowerment of female rights. Let the word spread!</p><p><br/></p><p>Equal rights for all is what I and many others continue fight for, not dominance, equality.</p>
