Our modern societies still need feminism
It is undeniable that the great feminist movements of the 20th century have come and gone and have left in their wake an impressive shift towards gender equality. But has it been enough? Are we really there yet or does the 21st century need to see more feminist movements in order to see gender equality become a tried and true facet of our societies.
Let's hear some arguments for or against the current proposition "Our modern societies still need feminism". Let's also hear arguments for what would and what wouldn't be appropriate for a 21st century feminism.
Closing Statement from Matthieu Miossec
Whether we agree that our modern societies still need feminism or not, it is clear that the issue is still a hot topic. I greatly encourage everyone to read some of the exchanges of this debate, particularly those which include Andrea Grazzini Walstrom's insight.

In countries like India the laws are in extreme favour of women. What the movement needs is that women assert them selves and come forward instead of just nodding and going abck to the same stuff thats being going on since years.
I frankly believe a woman is a woman's worst enemy. And they need to instil compassion for their own kind. For example when female infanticide occurs a woman is clearly as involved as the male partner.
