First...Foremost...Feminism

Until recently I was familiar with feminism but did not have a complete understanding of its origin, the path it has taken and the direction it is heading in. While I'm still learning about feminists and feminism as a whole, I have gathered a general idea of the controversy and complexity involved with the movement. Being reminded of the discrimination, mistreatment, and abuse women have and continue to endure, feminism and feminists work with the efforts to put an end to every aspect, and conclude with women being treated as equal to men. That equality does have an extent, because women and men are completely different when it comes to our biology, however that is not true regarding areas such as education, employment, politics, etc.

That being said, these issues are still at hand. While significant progress has been made, women are and men are still not universally seen as equal beings. Some may say because we have not had a woman president (in the United States) and others may say because of the payroll of men over women in some companies. Either gender equality has not been achieved thus proving that feminism is still relevant.
