The world needs more feminism
Sorry this took so long i've been busy. According to google and the oxford dictionary the definition of feminism is "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes (1) (2). Thus via this very sound definition those who support that women's rights should be equally to that of mens are by definition a feminist even if they choose not to recognise the label. Unfortunately as I shall argue throughout this debate not everyone has this mind set. For arguments sake I shall refer to these people as 'anti-feminists' for this debate. That we know of there is only one cure for world poverty and it can be phased very simply 'the empowerment of women', go to Bolivia, Bangladesh, or Yemen and see (3) (4) (5). Give women control over their reproductive cycle make them not just the beasts of burden and beats of childbearing that they become, give them the right to get a paying job and the floor will rise in that community it has never failed anywhere (3) (4) (5) every time woman's right go up in the third world poverty goes down, against this one solution 'anti-feminism' has turned it's face, the efforts of the 'anti-feminists' in the third world mean more people die not less. And I appeal to my audience, what is more important the ending world poverty? It is one of if not the biggest issue humanity faces at the moment. This is why the world needs more feminism, to save lives. This is my opening argument I look forward to my opponents.
