Hey,
Explications :
Today, when we ask a question: What does it mean to adopt the term feminism? We must bear in mind the changes that occurred in the terminology itself, and realize its path, the circumstances of its entry into our Arab society, and its implications that it carried during different periods. This brings us to several other questions, such as: Does the definition of feminist mean that this is merely a choice for advocacy and support or a commitment to engage in a dynamic organizational work? Has a feminist term become self-evident, or does it require several explanations through which it becomes clear? Does the term involve an exclusionary rights bias? Does not adopting it represent a bias towards women? Is the term has a temporal and spatial validity? Can he completely lose its connotations and have to replace it with another term?
Indeed, the term “feminism” has met, during the past two decades and up to now, a severe attack, whether in the West or East, threatening to completely erase it and empty it from its meaning upon which it was based, especially after it was associated with some of the radical feminist currents that emerged in the 1980s. Including the trend of lesbian feminists, and "spice girls" in the nineties, which lost feminism a lot of societal support, and gained negative populist meanings, under which the concept has become a joke or a charge that requires disavowal, and this reason is one of the most important reasons that led Arab feminism to suffer from Setbacks at the concept and practitioner level Thus the standard process or the final results resulting from them. To give a kind of systematic treatment to the problematic of the concept, we find many educational campaigns led by a number of feminist artists and writers in order to raise awareness of the “proper” meaning of feminism and restore confidence in it, including the “He for she” campaign launched by American actress Emma Watson in 2014, and within what She stated: “Feminism has a lot of words that are not welcome, because it no longer means anything but hatred of men, and here it is redefining it properly. Feminism is the theory of gender equality at the political, economic and social level.”
In the same context, the Nigerian novelist gave a speech on the TEDx platform in 2012 entitled "We should all be Feminists", calling everyone to be proud feminists, because feminism does not mean hatred of men, but feminists are not psychologically complicated or grouchy faces. In the same way, in October of this year, the book "Buckingham Palace .. Misconceptions about feminism" was published, containing 52 simplified articles on the meaning of feminism and addressing common myths about it.
In this brief way, the term became complicated and became dialectical and entangled, which led each party to claim that it possesses a pure or correct form of feminism, according to the analysis of the writer "Kate Royevi" in her book "The Next Morning: Sex, Fear and Feminism", and then transferred to us with all its problems, Especially in the recent times that followed the "Arab Spring revolutions" through personal blogs, social networking sites and other electronic spaces, which dealt with women's issues, and contributed to the exit of the convention from its narrow elite space.
Indeed, the adoption of the term in its infancy and the effect of the revolutionary momentum received a wide and promising resonance among the youth circles, which encouraged many prominent girls and women to declare their "feminism" and their pride in them, as a revolutionary movement against women's oppression and stereotyping and subjugation in the name of religion, customs and traditions, and some of their Arab youth; He wrote that he "sided with the feminist trend of his belief in equality without sexual discrimination, and in search of what he called" a totally participatory modernity ... an alternative modernity that seeks to make the public space for all people.
