In my first class for this Summer, I had the chance to look at a very critical topic related to feminist theory and that is the definition of feminism. All the class members are women and I hoped there is a man so as to see the other side of the coin. Also, I keep asking myself why there are no or just few men in these feminist or women's studies classes? May be this is another reason to ask ourselves what is the definition of feminism? Is is an issue that relates only to women? if so, what we call those men who write about feminism or women's issues? There are many questions in mind that need some responses not only from women, but also from men.
I also ask myself if I am a feminist and what constitute feminist or feminism activists? Is feminism working and campaigning for the sake of women? or can I be a feminist while I am just working from inside my office?
I beleive that in order to gain power in the battle of feminism and to acheive what is in the benefit of women we should not consider men as our enemeis. On the contrary, we must work hard to have them working in our side and to push hard with us so as to change the society and to gain women's equality.
