Mandy asks…

is there a difference between the women's right movement and the suffrage movement?

if so what?

Our pick of the answers:

Most people agree that men and women are of equal worth and should be treated with dignity. If you support gender equality the assumption is that you should support feminism. I do not support feminism but I do support gender equality. 'Waves' of feminism: Instead of acknowledging the obvious differences between the original feminists of the nineteenth century and the revivalist feminist movement that has existed since the late 1960s, some feminists prefer to divide feminism into four categories, or 'waves': First wave (late 19th-early 20th century): Seeking equal rights for women, exemplified by the Suffragettes who sought the vote for women and were against abortion. Ended in the 1920s having achieved their aims. Second wave feminism (1960s to present day). This revivalist movement focussed on what it saw as a multitude of inequalities and oppressions suffered by women at the hands either of individual men or 'the patriarchy'. The slogan 'the personal is political' typified this view of every aspect of a woman's life being subject to some kind of oppression by men. This movement has campaigned on a huge number of issues, including abortion, sexuality, and special rights for women. Post-feminism (1980s to present): a movement focussing on women's issues that acknowledges that modern feminism has achieved its goals. 'Voices of the Post-Feminist Generation' by Susan Bolotin in 1982 gave a platform for women who agreed with equality but could not identify with modern feminism. Third wave (early 1990s): Really an offshoot of modern feminism that gave a voice to feminists who felt unrepresented by what were seen as the White, middle-class leaders of feminism. Feminism, now, is a sexist movement (and a special interest group) that advocates and lobbies for more gender-specific rights for women and campaigns for women's rights and interests. So, is the 'women's right movement' the same as feminism? I think it is... That's why I have mentioned the waves of feminism.
