Feminism should not have been created in the beginning.
The Pro asks what I am referring to when I say status quo. By status quo, I am referring to the status of women prior to the development of feminism when women could not vote or own property. The Pro then claims that "You don't need an unbalanced diversion to solve and unbalanced way of life" and cites the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This seems to ignore the work of Dr. King as Dr. King clearly understood the civil rights struggle as the "Negro struggle for freedom," as he preferred to it in the 1963 letter from Birmingham jail. The Pro seems to believe that in order to achieve equality you must look at both sides equally, however, in order to do this there must be equality. The reason that the struggle for racial equality focuses so heavily on the African American community is because the African American community is at a disadvantage, while White people are at an advantage. The goal of feminism is the balance the equation when men are at an advantage. In order to balance the equation, therefore, you must add to the side of women and give them parity with men. The pro then concedes that feminism has brought about major positive changes but then asks if feminism was really the best solution. This is a concession of a key point in this debate. The pro is trying to prove that "Feminism should not have been created in the beginning." By conceding that feminism has made positive changes, the Pro has undermined her own argument. If feminism had not been created these changes simply would not have been seen because feminism is the reason these changes happened. Additionally, the Pro asks if feminism is just the solution that became popular, but this ignores the fact that feminism is the name given to the movement that pushed the solution. It was not one of the several options, it was the only option pushing for those changes. https://web.cn.edu...
