Answer to research question 1

投稿者: -
Hello!
Lets' get down to answer the research questions that we posted before.



Q1. What is the concept of the word, feminism?
Before starting more specific research, we wan't to reconfirm what is the feminism with you.
We looked up the word "feminism" in some dictionaries and we'll show you the results.





Macmillan Dictionaries 
Feminism - definition and synonyms. (n.d.). Retrieved June 28,2017, from
http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/feminism#feminism_3

the belief that women should have the same rightsand opportunities as men
Cambridge Dictionary
Feminism Meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary. (n.d.). Retrieved June 28, 2017, from
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/feminism?a=british
the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achievethis state
The definition of feminism is almost same in many dictionaries.
Then, we did a research on google scholor and we found one essay that is a little bit different from these definitions.




Delmar, R. (1987). Eighteenth Century Amazons. Feminist Review, 26(1), 105-114. doi:10.1057/fr.1987.24
http://www.sfu.ca/~decaste/OISE/page2/files/DelmarFeminism.pdf



According to the writer,Rosalined Delmare, feminists is someone who holds that women suffer discrimination because of thier sex, in the social, economic and political order.
We can understand he believes feminism is only for women.


That is a difference between the definitions from two dictionaries. Those two don't mention whether feminism is for who.


In conclusion, we could find that the definition of feminism is different depending on people, but there is no correct answer of it. Then, in this blog, we basically define feminism as a belief that advocates women's right in various situations without limitting for women.

Our current thinking

投稿者: -
Hello! We're sorry to change the order of posting. We're going to talk about our current thinking about feminism before starting a research. To be honest, we haven't known about feminism anything since we started this blog. We couldn't explain even the concept of the "feminism" clearly.  We assume feminism is not so familiar to many people in Japan. When we did a small discussion in our class, many of our classmates answered they didn't know a lot as well. However, it's time to know and think about feminism because we think it is closely related to human rights in a broad sense. In other words, in order to establish women's right, we have to respect not only women but also men. However, we have one question. Is it really good for us to make everything equal between men and women in every kind of situation? What exactly does it mean to establish women's right? We're going to do some research and try to identify these questions! Than...

Hello! Today I would like to show the survey result of my survey. https://jp.surveymonkey.com/r/JQWGSJG Thank you for answering these questions!! There were 7 Japanese people who have answered my survey thankfully. Now these are some question and results from my survey! Q.3 Do you think that women are treated fairly in society? I thought this was the good ratio because in these days women are able to work as same as men. However, there are still some thoughts that men is stronger than women in the society.  Q4. Do you think that both genders are entitled to the same social, economic, and political rights? I was surprised that nobody had answered "No". This shows Japan has been changing to more gender free country. Q9. Do you think that "Feminism" might lead to discrimination against men? This also surprised me because I thought more people would answer "Yes" to this question. I think strong complaints o...

Hello😆Here are the answers Q22~25 of my research questions! 23. Are there any feminism event coming up in Japan?

There are some blogs written by the feminist teachers if you search on the website. 25. Does Japan teach about the feminism in school. There are some university departments that teach about feminism. However, there are no schools where teach about feminism as compulsory subject. There are more gender gaps in Japan compared to other developed countries. 26. Is there any discrimination on men?
