Reflection on Feminism As many people are fighting to coexist in their various environments, I still have a feeling that the primary concern is about identity. I also believe that the reason why many movements have arisen is one way of searching identity, such as feminists. At first, I thought that feminism was just a general fight for the plight of women in a male- dominant environment until I came along the feminist media studies.
