True and False Feminism

Abstract

Feminism is a movement that tends to change the unfavourable cultural, social, and political relations on behalf of women.

The feministic movement has developed in our cultural circle since the 18^th century and has taken on various forms. One should mention here the following: feminism as a right strife conducted by women to recognise their dignity, make them equal with respect to citizen rights, ensure equal (with men) access to education that would enable them to obtain a job and enlarge their opportunities in economical, social, political, and religious life – always taking into account their different sex and preserving their vocation as wives and mothers. This is true feminism, which is now defined as a new or Christian feminism, feminism – as an ideology stemming from radical liberalism, socialism, freudism, and post-modernism − strikes woman's identity and in the most radical manifestations it regards sex as a cultural category, and advocates absolute freedom. Thus understood feminism leads to deformation in social life by undermining familial ties and the right to live for the unborn children (abortion). This is false feminism, such that undermines women’s identity and dignity.
