Gender Inequality Hinders Feminism from Being Thoroughly Achieved
Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v5i4.2616
Abstract
Feminism has promoted for decades of years, which aims to dismantle gender inequality in the society. However, seen from the current social conditions, gender inequality has always been a social problem that is difficult to address. This essay believes that gender inequality is caused by different social expectations on men and women. Only when the society treat men and women in the same way, can feminism truly achieve its ultimate goal.
Keywords
