belief and movement for gender equality
The belief and social movement that women and men should have the same rights, power, and chances in life.
Vzorec užití:
support [feminism]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes think 'feminism' means 'hating men' or 'wanting women to be above men'. In modern English, it usually means wanting equal rights and chances for all genders, with special attention to problems women face. Learners may also confuse 'feminism' (a belief/movement) with 'femininity' (qualities or behavior traditionally seen as female).
Synonyma
women's rights movement (Focuses more clearly on organized action for women's legal and social rights, while 'feminism' also includes a wider belief system.)
|
gender equality movement (Highlights equality for all genders; 'feminism' often centers women’s experiences within that goal.)
|

Antonyma

|
