It’s when this gets brought up that I remember arguing with my Komunikasyon sa Filipinohiya (FILKOMU) professor regarding the validity of calling men as ‘feminists’ that I get irked. In the case of women, it was to enlighten their oppressors. It may seem ironic to some, but to be able to resolve an issue, you will have to eliminate the problem from its source. There is now a call to empower women, all while involving in the dialogue men-who first were the reason why such movement was created.
In this age, the concept seems blurred out as the feminist movement has evolved into something more than just pushing for equal rights. The interpretation of such is now reduced to the giving off of seats to women, and opening of doors for them-very much far from the actual ideology. Chivalry died years ago, and that is a fact.
This was used as basis for the conduct of knights in both battle and in addressing other people-most especially women. Males call themselves “gentlemen” and promote the ideology of chivalry when they may be confused about the whole general idea of it.Ĭhivalry’s very concept started out as a code of ethics for men, originating from the French word “Chevalier”, which directly translates to knight. This “male mentality is something that I, being of the same species, cannot comprehend. Man often perceives that a woman is beneath him in aspects such as power, importance of being, and roles in society and politics.
They have often concluded that this was due to man’s “pervasive thinking”. Theorists of the movement target to expose the root causes of female oppression and the exertion of dominance over their species. Feminist criticism, on the other hand, refers to the assessment of the struggles faced by women-and feminists-brought upon by patriarchy and sexism.

As we further our agenda to make our advocacies bear weight and gain support from our peers, we must raise an important question: do we really know-and understand-what we are pushing for?įeminism, as an idea-otherwise known as the “feminist movement”-refers to the series of political campaigns birthed in the 1960s that pushed for the allocation of equal rights to women.
