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. Through the studies, I have come to learn that feminism can be understood using cultural, political, and social perspectives (Appel, p.18). On the issue concerning religion and feminism, most Muslim lady’s identity is classified by the wearing of the hijab and the headscarf (Ahmed, p.65). The issue has changed where nowadays I always see people that do not have an association with Muslim culture putting on hijab. Therefore, I believe that as the world is transforming, people’s perception concerning identity is changing too. Therefore, there will be a need for tolerance amongst the people that feel affected by such changes.
