Feminism

The web based definition of feminism is the following: The advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.
This definition of Feminism here in simpler terms means the fight of women to gain equal rights that men have been accustomed to for generations, even in today's society women are treated as inferior to men in some cases especially fields such as sport.

Brief Feminism introduction 
Feminism has been around since the 18Th century, but there is evidence to suggest that advocates for women's rights existed way before this time some 24 centuries ago. Back in the 1920's especially women were seen purely as housewives who should, cook, clean and look after their husband and family, by the time WW2 came around their voices were heard and many more women got involved in the war, women have been documented as fighting in wars since the bible was wrote, and WW2 was the biggest example of women become more active in fields typically dominated by males, as a record number of women signed up to serve their country even propaganda played its part in recruiting females.

What's next for Feminism?
Feminism I personally don't think will ever end, women are going to keep continuously fighting and protesting to get the same or even better rights than men, the media will still "fetishize" women and show them as sexy rather than professional, if you look at any newspaper of  magazine women are shown as sexy rather than their ability in their line of work. Only 2 years ago when a female linesman was first used in the premier league was she a target of sexual jokes from two sky sports pundits, this was solely because of her gender and the two men were fired immediately, back in the 1970's women were often the but of the joke and accused of being inferior to men and everyone turned a blind eye to this so this is evidence to how Feminism has made an impact within the world of media.

Typical of society to see gender as a dominating factor in certain fields when it doesn't make a huge difference, Women can do about 99% of everything men can do and men can also do about 99% of what women can also do. women in the media is an issue brought up whenever a female is sacked and replaced by a male colleague whether this has anything to do with their gender remains to be seen but we as a society are able to accept people for who they are regardless of their gender. Women are often seen as having long hair, dressed in frilly pink dresses with make up and high heels this is just the stereotypical image presented to us from years of being glued to media through television and newspaper etc. Music videos and magazines often glamorise women as sex objects rather than talented female performers, Madonna is often claimed as a feminist and she is often quoted to "Broke the glass ceiling of women to show they can be sexy in their 40's onwards" but we never hear from this who were the first women in the media? Angela Rippon became the first regular female presenter back in 1975 and showed women they can compete with men for jobs in male dominated fields
