The version of feminism I would like to propose is not original, in fact, I think it is the most common and sensible version of it, accepted by many feminists across the globe. I write about it only because many people enjoy to misinterpret or misrepresent feminism as a silly or a radical or an incoherent position. I think it is neither of it. In fact, I don't know how anyone can not be a feminist.
In this version feminism is a political and economic position. The position claims that there is inequality in economic terms and terms of personal freedom. The position recommends to eradicate this inequality. Why is there a need for feminism besides other movements opposing all forms or particular forms of inequality (e.g. striking international and intranational income inequality, rights abuses against minorities, etc.)? Because this inequality affects half of the global population and would be very easy to overcome. Specific and quick action should and can be taken.
