Feminism from Various Perspectives--- Men who support feminism

投稿者: -
Hello!
I'm sorry for interrupting research questions.
Let me introduce one more perspective from men who support feminism.

Voice Male Magazine, pro-feminist magazine had launched in 1983 as one of the earliest men's center in North America to transform masculinity. Their slogan is "Standing with women and men in chronicling masculinities today." I'll summarize one of the editors, Rob Okun's opinion in his voice. He introduced his basic thoughts about gender equality or women's right through the opinion toward Donald Trump.

The US president, Donald Trump said "nobody has more respect for women and girls than me,” during the campaign even though he had received public attention because of some scandals related to gender discrimination. I doubt he will really change his attitude and  take actions for women. He reminded me of the importance of gender equality. In the US, millions of women marched because they are fearing for their future in terms of women's right or being respected same as men. I support them as men who equivocally believe in gender equality. I hope government work to ensure the right of all women including immigrant women, women of diverse religious faiths, and diverse sexual orientations and identities, indigenous women, racial minority women, women with disabilities, women who are economically impoverished, and women who are survivors of violence.




Here is the web page I used in Voice Male Magazine. If you are interested, please check his opinion more!

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...

Feminism from various perspectives--- Feminist Majority Foundation

投稿者: -
Hello!  Feminism is the concept that has been discussed by many people for a long time and there are so many perspectives about it. Today, I'll introduce one perspective about feminism in Feminist Majority Foundation's voice.  Feminist Majority Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in Virginia, the US in 1987. Our name came from a data of Gullup public opinion poll that showed the majority of American women (actually it was 56%) were self-identified as feminists. We have been working on various kinds of campaign or events related to women's right such as abortion, education equality and so on. Additionally, we became the publisher of the American liberal feminist magazine Ms.  We define the concept of feminism as  the policy, practice or advocacy of political, economic and social equality for women.  We believe women should be empowered economically, socially, and politically.  However, feminism is not for only women but also men. In our op...
