FEMINIZAM – ŠTO JE OSTVARIO? ; FEMINISM – WHAT HAS IT ACCOMPLISHED?

Feminizam je bitno promijenio položaj žene u odnosu na status kakav je imala u društvu prije pojave feminističke ideologije. Takav emancipatorski karakter feminizam je nastojao sačuvati kroz tri vala u kojima se pojavljivao. U prvome valu žene su ostvarile prodor u javnu sferu i izborile se za ravnopravnost zajedno s muškarcima. Dobivanje pravne jednakosti u formalnome smislu nije značila i stvarnu jednakost. Ustaljene socijalne norme i društveno konstruirane rodne uloge žene mijenjale su se puno teže i sporije. Iz toga razloga započeo je drugi feministički val. Pod utjecajem dekonstrukcije i postmoderne feminizam se u trećem valu isprepleo s rodnom ideologijom.

But the fact that they got legal equality did not mean that they formally had equality in the real world. It was very difficult to change old social norms and socially constructed gender roles of women. Therefore the second feminist phase has started. Under the influence of deconstruction and postmodernism feminism in the third phase became intertwined with the gender ideology. That brought it further from its primary aim – fight against dominance and for equal access to the public space. Emphasized sexualizing of women in the media shows that the society has not evolved a lot. It is still underestimating and belittling them. The aggressive aspect of such ...
