Dear Ms Valenti‚ I am writing to you regarding your article for the Guardian entitled ‘Feminists Don’t Hate Men. But It Wouldn’t Matter If We Did’. In it you explain why misandry has no real effect on men whereas misogyny can be fatal‚ and you go on justify so called “ironic misandry” as simply a joke made by frustrated feminists. However‚ I believe that your argument is undermined by your disregard for the effects of ‘man-hating’‚ your simplistic approach to the issue and the inherent contradiction

Feminist Criticism “Feminist criticism derives from a critique of a history of oppression‚ in this case the history of women’s inequality” (Mays 2347). Women have always been second to men in mostly everything they are competing in. Even if the man and woman have the exact same job‚ the man is probably making more money just because he is a man. Women barely got the chance to vote less than fifty years ago! Women still have a long way to go to catch up where the men are‚ because men have always

They are missing out. This is a quote from the book “We Should All Be Feminists” that a recently reviewed on “Goodreads”. I understand that not all of my Facebook friends are Goodreads members. Hence‚ I thought it appropriate that I write some of my thought about just how powerful this little book is outside

tons of people ask me‚ why I’m prolonging this feminist “nonsense” They say its high time people accept that men and women are equal. They have the same opportunities‚ same rights. I wasn’t really keen on the ‘feminist’ name tag either. Mostly‚ due to its association with single‚ angry women burning bras and holding sign boards saying “We don’t need men to dictate us.” It took me a while to reflect upon my purpose for calling myself a feminist. It involved intensive googling at 3 am and long

overtly feminist themes; because this is not a story about her marriage or her motherhood but instead a story about the woman herself and her thoughts about life. Thoughts which are sometimes radical‚ sensual and certainly autonomous and separate from her role as a wife or mother‚ an idea as yet unexplored in English literature and quite challenging of the Chopin’s patriarchal society . This is an excellent piece of literature to explore through the lens of feminist criticism. Feminist criticism
