‘The west believe they taught us feminism’: the women’s movement around the world

Backstage at the All About Women festival held in Sydney in March, Guardian Australia posed the same question to Abdulali and three other diverse women: what do outsiders get wrong about your experience of feminism? For Leta Hong Fincher, an expert in China’s emerging feminist movement, it’s that a movement exists there at all

  1. Imagine . When you hear "sexist men" you immediately ask the question like : does he look like the imaginations of 1950s stereotypes in american white families and workplaces with a white doucheman with polo shirt having smug ballchins in Hollywood movies looking like Gaston from "beauty and the beast"?

    No wonder how non white feminists and non american feminists get confused with their male counterparts because their sexism isnt living in a typical white US womens diary imagination of her family 💀💀💀

  2. Actually they did and not only thought you, but publicly funded it to make you believe you have rights but the reality was that they just wanted you to work in order for you to pay taxes and all under the name of "women empowerment and equality" 😅😅😅

  3. If feminism actually means equality for both men and women…
    And also everyone taking accountability for their mistakes irrespective of their gender.
    As man…its hard to live in the western society where women also doesn't point out other fellow womens mistakes

  4. What a bunch of uninformed comments… Hurts to witness. Feminism has never tried to bring men down, what ?? Gosh, listen to some podcasts, read some books, talk to people that aren't as uninformed as you, get a look at facts, stop thinking you're the victim! Voyons dont calisse, vous avez toutes les droits, arrêtez de chialer esti

  5. Feminism is not interested in equality. Feminism is interested in feminism. And feminism knows that equality would make its movement obsolete. The more power given to it, the more it has to lose if equality is achieved, and thus the farther away equality gets. Debunked✅

  6. Idk… Seems to be a silent media war on white women lately. Can't tell if this just plays into that. Maybe just stick to women's issues in a male dominated society before running to criticize any other feminist right now? We have a human trafficking problem on our hands the size of mount Everest :'( stay focused.
