I Believe in Feminism
To be a feminist is to believe that everyone should be treated with equality regardless of sex. Confusion and despair circled the life of a young woman who was the Chief Executive Officer of a company. The company had specialized in selling sports attire to the males’ athletes. The company’s other board members were all men, and the Chief Executive Officer who was a woman suffered a lot of friction for any new changes she intended to make.
All the other workers in the company were men except the Chief Executive Officer. The female Chief Executive Officer was determined to make a change in the company. She wanted to ensure that other female professionals are allowed to work in the company just as men. To make the change, the female Chief Executive Officer of the company started by changing the motto of the company to, “You don’t need to be an athlete to look like an athlete.” She switched to this motto so that the vision of the company could be changed. The new slogan meant that females who are not athletes can still purchase the sporting attire from the company. Also, the new vision of the company indicated that female professionals could still work in the company. After the changes, the company needed to employ a salesperson. The position was advertised for both males and females, and luckily, a female qualified for the job. More females continued to be employed in the company, and sales to the females increased to unexpected levels.
I believe in feminism. Feminism empowers the women in society by ensuring that all people are equally treated in regardless of their gender (Menon, 2015, 38). When people argue that feminism is a way of life that causes women to disrespect their husbands, I think that they are scared by a change in their life. Feminism is a change that ensures the world moves to the next step both economically, and politically. I believe in feminism, and I think that it is a great form of change.
