What is the connotation of modern western feminism?
Feminism, which originated in the west, has been translated into social theories and political movements mainly based on women's experiences. Feminism first appeared in France, meaning women's liberation, and then spread to Britain and the United States, gradually becoming popular. It was introduced into China during the May 4th Movement and was defined as feminism. In the west, it originally meant the pursuit of equality between men and women, first of all, the right to vote. Women in western countries have basically obtained equal political rights, but they are still unequal to men in social life and people's ideas. Feminists began to realize that there was a problem of gender relationship and gender power, so the feminist movement became an analysis of why men and women are unequal and the power structure between men and women, emphasizing gender analysis. In China, it is also recognized that women's rights cannot be discussed first. We should also talk about gender analysis. From the feminist point of view, there is no essential difference, just a deeper understanding. At present, it is of profound significance to study gender power with gender in China, which is easily accepted by people. Feminism is a combination of theory and practice, a belief and ideology of equality between men and women, aiming at opposing all inequalities, including gender discrimination.
