This blog is as a response of thinking activity about various theories like Ecocriticism, Feminism Queer theory with applying some examples of it. which is given as a task by Dilip Barad sir.so first i started with Feminism theory.
Definition of Feminism
As per caren Offen Feminism as a tradition of protest against male domination has had. a relational as well as an individualistic variant. It also makes a. strong argument for seeing the relational as the larger and more. significant of the two strands, certainly the one with the longer.
Waves of Feminism
First-wave feminism refers to an extended period of feminist activity during the nineteenth century and early twentieth century in the United statesfirst wave of feminism activism By the 1920s, women had won the right to vote in most European countries and in North America. At around the same time, women became more active in communist, socialist and social democratic parties because increasing numbers of women began to work outside the home in factories and offices. Women were first allowed to go to university in the early 20th century, having both a career and a family
Second-wave feminism refers to the period of activity in the early 1960s and lasting through the late 1980s.second wave of feminism aimed to achieve ‘women’s liberation’, Liberal feminists wanted better equality laws and reform of institutions such as schools, churches and the media. Radical feminists argued that the root cause of women’s inequality is patriarchy: men, as a group, oppress women. They also focused on violence against women by men and started to talk about violence in the family, and rape. Socialist feminists argued that it is a combination of patriarchy and capitalism that causes women’s oppression.
Third wave feminism actively uses media and pop culture to promote its ideas and to run activities, for example by publishing blogs or e-zines. It focuses on bringing feminism closer to the people’s daily lives. The main issues that third wave feminists are concerned about include: sexual harassment, domestic violence, the pay gap between men and women, eating disorders and body image, sexual and reproductive rights, honour crimes and female genital mutilation
Some literary works of feminism
Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792)
Olive Schreiner's Women and Labour (1911)
John Stuart Mill's The Subjection of Woman (1869)
Religion always try to tie a women. it also give person fear of sin, it also give an idea of do fast or some veneration on some special occasion. especially on the occasion of karva chauth. women are doing fast for her husband. this matter of religion also seen in the case of zaira vasim she take exit from bollywood, because of religion. there is also another example which was of anghana bhosle who is also exit television industry she is working in most famous serial anupmaa becuse of religion. She have to take exit the from religion.
There is some Ads who is known as feminist Ads . but in the ad it is also shown that to go outside woman have to take permission for to go outside or to go for work.
There are some ads in which it is shown that woman is head or boss in the office but ultimately she is shown as working in kitchen and there is no chance for woman to become sad even if she is tired from her work.
there is some movies also which is known as feministic movies there is thappad in this movie the protagonist tries to raise her voice against male dominance society.
in the thappad movie therev is dialougue of thoda bardaasht karna sikhna chahiye auraton ko. this dialougue suggest that this movie is about male dominance as well as it also gives idea about as a woman they have to tolrate violence of male. it is also suggest that woman always have to take permission from their beloved or their parents.
there is also a ME TOO Movement which is also consider as feministic movement. here i shared page link of wikipedia in which there is about the movement.
Now if we look at feministic criticism there is in our society also. The parents want an educated girl for marriage but if there is question of job they does not allow it .if we take an example of taarak mehta ka ooltah chasmah than it is seen that all women are well educated but they have to take permission from there husband even if they want to go for shopping than also they ask for permission. The most iconic dialougue for permission is of Daya. She always said Tappu ke papa ko puchna padega. This dialougue suggest dominance of male in society.
there is also one movie Shaadi mein Zaroor Aana in which heroine is more educated then hero in begining but when she asked for job and run away from the home for her future this is become issue for her inlaws as well as for the hero also. so this is the feministic criticism. there are many other movie which is promote feminism but there are mistakes also and that is if you are women you should know your limits as well as your ethics also
