Thappad: A Review of Articulation of Power and the Psychological Perspectives

Abstract

Feminism, in simple words is social, economic and political equality of the sexes. Although it mainly was started by the women in the west, it is manifested throughout the globe and widely used in the institutions committed to activity on behalf of women’s rights and welfare.

Feminism is not the belief that one gender should be raised in power above another. The very definition of feminism shows a complete opposition to this belief. So, when people comment against feminism, they are supporting sexism. There is no sitting on the fence. You are either a feminist or a sexist. Unfortunately, most sexist don’t know they are sexist, and compose the majority of the population. They are unaware that sexism is something that has been forced on to them through the brainwashed media of a patriarchal society.
