Blog 4

To disagree with Kevin Ly's post, men and women are different, but that is not what the definition of feminism he chose means. He found a definition stating that feminism is (1) the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes and (2), an organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests. This definition explains that feminism is the movement that fights for women’s equal rights, not the difference between men and women. Kevin describes the difference between men and women. This has nothing to do with the definition that he chose. He explains that women are better at some things than men, and men are better than women at some things. With this, he states that women have equal rights, but they may not be visible because they may not be as good at something a man does. When Kevin explains these “probabilities,” no where does he relate his case towards the definition of feminism. He believes that both women and men are equal, and is considered a non-feminist, but his explanation does not coincide with the definition.
