Feminism has had a very significant impact on society in
many different ways. It has had a
positive impact on women as they have much more freedom in everything they want
to do. Some of the things that
have been improved are: better education offerings, almost equal pay to men,
options regarding contraceptives/birth control, abortion, voting rights, and
opportunities for life outside the home.
Feminism has also had a positive impact on men. Some men feel less pressure to be the
sole income provider of the household and it is more socially acceptable to be
a stay at home dad if he pleases. Women have come a long way in gaining rights
but there is always more progress to be made.
Feminism has had a negative impact in some regards. Families have had somewhat of a
negative impact from feminism.
More parents are both opting to work so that sense of family can be
missing in some homes. Another
problem with feminism in society is stereotyping. Some of society views feminism as a negative thing because
they have only seen the most radical feminists. Stereotyping gives feminism a bad reputation with
society. Feminism has had somewhat
of a negative impact on men’s’ lives too.
Some men have let feminism bring down their ego; they don’t feel as
masculine when women have so much power.
While feminism has impacted the ego of some men negatively, it has
sparked an interest in others.
Many men throughout history and today consider themselves
feminists.
Feminism has had both positive and negative impacts
throughout history and it will continue to do so.
