What is the difference between feminism and feminism?
From the Chinese translation of the English word feminism, there is no difference between feminism and feminism. Now feminism is obviously much more used than feminism, probably because the word "right" does not appear in the former, and it may be more peaceful to those who watch or listen, so as not to trigger the association that "feminism" means "seizing power" from men. But strictly speaking, feminist translation is undoubtedly more accurate.

There are all kinds of feminist movements and feminist thoughts in the world, but one thing is the same, that is, their fundamental purpose is to strive for and realize the equal rights of men and women in all aspects. Since 1975, the slogan "Women's rights are human rights" has gained more and more recognition in the world. The Constitution of China, which was revised and adopted in 2004, also included the content that "the state respects and guarantees human rights" in Article 33, paragraph 3.

Undoubtedly, "women's rights are human rights" is of great significance. "Women's rights" are the rights that women should have as social people and national citizens, and they are not obtained by "seizing power" from men. Where can there be human rights without women's rights? Without women's rights, where can there be social justice? It is also in this sense that the modern feminist movement and feminist thought are called a basic force to promote the world democratic process in the past 50 years.

In the article "Human Rights and Women's Rights", Mr. Liang Qichao's view is also very similar.

He pointed out that human rights have three meanings: first, the right to education equality, second, the right to career equality, and third, the right to political equality.

He believes that although these three things are linked, they can still be carried out step by step, and the right to education is undoubtedly an indispensable first step, so that women have the necessary conditions for equal employment and political participation. Liang Qichao also quoted the famous sentence "knowledge is power" and clearly pointed out: "If you don't seek power on the basis of knowledge, you will never get power; If you are lucky, you can't stay. One person is like this, class is like this, and gender is like this. " This is wisdom and foresight, hitting the floor.

Summary: As a system, China's social inequality system that men are superior to women for thousands of years has collapsed, but as an idea, it still permeates all aspects of society and is deeply rooted. Therefore, it is difficult for everyone to understand and understand the truth that "women's rights are human rights" and really put it into practice. To truly understand and implement "women's rights are human rights", it is obviously not enough to only have legal provisions. In order to change equal rights from legal provisions to real actual rights, many related conditions must be met.
