“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”
― Rebecca West
We all suffer the struggle of nowadays' society, which demands us to do many things in very little time. That's why we have created this infographic, for all those stressed out fellas who need to have a quick look at what each wave of feminism implies.
We recommend, though, that you read more about the three waves when you have time, including our previous posts on the matter:

→ The First Wave
Some of the rights we take for granted today, we owe to American feminists, who protested and fought out of basic needs and logical longings. If we take a historical standpoint to go over the achievements of the movement , we would think that milestones such as the right to vote or same-sex marriage, have been reached in a quick succession, compared to the regular length of historical events. Yet, this is nowhere near the truth. In an in-depth analysis of feminism, the movement became divided into three waves, which is potentially explained due to the fact that it was more efficient to focus in one area at a time. You can take a look at some of the most relevant events, which had an aftershook in the world's policies regarding women in this timeline.
When I first saw the title to this video I was immediately drawn to watch it, because I think the best way to learn about something is to listen to all the different views that there are on the issue. After watching it, though, I was trigerred. It is difficult to believe that there is so many young people that are still so conservative in their views on feminism and gender equality. Statements like "feminism only talks about women's issues, but what about men's?", "but men also suffer repression", "wages are not higher for men, maybe they are just more qualified to do the jobs", etc., make me think that their views on feminism come from a place of ignorance and lack of interest to learn about feminism. But that's just my opinion, what is yours? Watch the video and tell us your point of view in the comments!
