Why Feminism Fuels Patriarchy
Wisdom is often collected in the moments that we choose to walk away from something, in other words, when we concede to the natural death of an idea. At the budding age of 23, I felt completely lost after leaving my Christian based religion. I remember feeling disillusioned and cynical towards the church. The experience that I had while departing from my conservative Christian days is not unlike the experience that I had walking away from feminism. Feminism, similarly to religion, is a particular set of beliefs about the world, that points us toward individual and collective actions, in hopes of creating a better world. I won't analyze the problems with the collective action that religion has taken to "create a better world," mostly because religion has done quite the opposite (but that's for another article.) But I would like to dive into the reasons that I believe the world is ready for a new system of thinking, beyond the capacity of our current form of feminism.
