The roots of Feminism go back to the 19th century and culminated in the general right to vote for women (and also most men who couldn’t vote) in all western countries. This would be the 1st wave. Then there were requests by women to have an equal right (and pay) to work and to education, but these rights were not exercise en masse. The two wold wars slowed down these developments, but brought women increasingly into the workplace, also because millions of men died and were not available as providers. The 2nd wave of feminism came about in the 1960’s at the same time as student protests took place in the US and Europe. The main issues were then, to eliminate a few minor obstacles in the law which could obstruct equal rights, but of major importance was the “sexual liberation of women”. Divorce laws, abortion and rape laws were some of the topics that caused outrage. The promotion of the actual use of the already equal rights, the original call for ’emancipation’, faded into the background. The request for equalization/equity became dominant, which means coercive action by the state which puts women on equal/higher social positions as/than men. The latter, including an unprecedented hate campaign against men and boys, would be the 3rd wave that started in the 1980’s. Continue reading Feminism and cultural Marxism
