Document Summary
Feminism has changed the lives of individual women but not women as a whole. Much talk about a sisterhood but this does not seem evident in society. Picking at each other"s faults, judging each other, competitive with each other. Claim to be feminism but hate on women that are different from them. Women do not do this too much to men. Patriarchy is bad but it is also abstract. World of men is people who get along, even when angry it"s not that personal and doesn"t last long. Men don"t have a profound need to defend their choices against people who have made opposite choices. Is this the result of the comfort of power? could be the direct result of living in power for centuries, their choices don"t need to be defended b/c don"t have the same choices to make. Choices are not as big a deal. Women live in a world of pressure and anxiety.
