The Feminist Paradox

 

FEMINIST PARADOX

    While watching this TED Talk with Thisari Randunu, I agreed with her when she had stated that feminist and feminism can be looked at as something crazy. She had also included how feminists and feminism can be extremely contradicting, which is disappointing because of the meaning and definition behind feminism. Randunu had said it very plain and simple when she explained how individuals who don't agree or don't like feminism are sexist individuals. She even included examples of sexism, such as, telling a man to 'man up' when they are crying or expressing their emotions, seeing a woman lifting weights and having a man say 'that's pretty good for a girl', etc. Something else that stood out to me about this video was how Randunu discussed women feeling the need to wear makeup to look presentable or put together, while a lot of men don't have this to worry about.
