You've seen Titanic right?

Ok when the titanic is sinking they board all the women and children first but not men. Why? I have no idea!

That's one reason. Not being treated equally.

The different types of women's rights can be summarized in one statement:

American women have the right to privilege without responsibility.

Answer 5

Well, there are many, and some are not so much in the order of rights as much as they are issues. This is why many feminists will talk about the female/feminine condition rather than about women's rights.

The most common are things such as, the right to equal access to employment and to equal wages for the same work. This is still not a reality. In fact, the disparity between men and women's wages has increased in the past decade.

This is not just a question of wages for the same job either, but regarding the distribution of wealth in the labour force more generally. Work traditionally performed by women, such as teacher, nurse and social worker, carry less prestige and are rewarded with lower wages than other work traditionally performed by men, such as doctor, lawyer and business director.

The presence of women in the workforce is not to be taken face-value as a sign of equality. Women still perform more labour than men as they take greater responsibilities for labour within the home, which is not valued by our economic system. In fact, a huge issue for feminism is the fact that women's labour in the home is unpaid and unrecognized.

Violence towards women is a big one as well. This includes sexual harassment in the workplace, sexual assault and conjugal violence, to name but a few. It can also include psychological abuse and harassment.

Another issue is reproductive freedom. This means abortion rights (without necessarily being pro-abortion), and it means the right to choose a partner and not be forced or coerced into s*x by that partner or by anyone else.

Another issue is the right for women to choose to stay home. Just because some women have fought for their right to integrate the labour force, does not mean that all women should now be forced to participate in it if they choose not to. A woman can be a feminist and still agree with her husband that he will provide for the family financially and she will perform unpaid labour in the home. Just because her labour is unpaid, doesn't mean it's not worth anything! She has a right to this lifestyle if it is fulfilling to her.

The biggest one of all is poverty. Over 60% of the world's poor are women and children. With unequal access to economic power, women are often marginalized. Poverty, therefore, is largely a women's issue as well.

But feminism is not only about women, it's about all. Its principles are meant to uphold the rights of women, but not at the expense of others, and it means to bring freedom from oppression to any oppressed group or minority.

To answer your question more personally, I don't expect to be treated like a man - I'm not a man. As a feminist I expect to be treated like a woman and have equal access to power. In other words, though my gender does distinguish me from men, I do not expect to be treated as subordinate as a result. Men and women are different, and to properly respect both genders, we should respect and honour those differences while allowing both to thrive. As a feminist this means that I support paying particular attention to minorities and oppressed groups, and in the case of gender differences, minorities are women, and transgendered folk. There is nothing contradictory about acknowledging sexual difference and expecting the same respect!

Thanks for a great question.
