<\/a>The dictionary definition of feminism is \u201cthe advocacy of women\u2019s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.\u201d However, feminism\u00a0is a discussion, not a rulebook<\/a>, and this is simply\u00a0where the discussion starts. What does it mean to have political, social, and economic equality to men? What is the best way to achieve this goal? The feminist discussion is not something that began in the 1970s and it is not something that ended in the 1970s either.<\/p>\n
