Universally accepted definition of "feminism" no. There are more than 300 interpretations of the term. Feminism is called "ethics and methodology", "policy aimed at changing the balance of forces," the construction of socio-economic and political commitment to eradicate domination, based on the separation of people on the floor ", etc. The word "feminism" is designed utopian socialist Charles Fourier in the late 18 century. Who believed that "social position of women is a measure of social progress." He called feminism advocates women's equality. The term "feminism" is defined as - (from the Latin. Femina - woman) - Social and political theory, which analyzes the oppression of women and superiority of men in the historical past and present, and comprehended the ways to overcome male dominance over women. Feminism has brought about many changes in Western society, including giving women the right to vote in elections; a wide range of professions with salaries that are more or less comparable to the wages of men the same profession, the right to apply for a divorce, a woman's right to have control over his own body and the right to decide what medical intervention is acceptable to them, including the choice of contraception and safe abortion, as well as many other social changes. Some feminists believe that much remains to be done, and should not rest on our laurels. Because Western society became part of the feminist principles of being more loyal, and basically took it as part of a social system, many issues were considered in the past only as a "feminist" have ceased to be perceived as such. Some of the radical feminist views are now taken for granted, a traditional part of political thought. The vast majority of the population in Western countries do not see anything unnatural in the women's right to vote, to choose their own spouse (or choose none), to own land - all that would have seemed unthinkable a hundred years ago. In Western languages (especially English), feminists are often proponents of using non-sexist language, for example, using the treatment Ms. (Miss) in relation to women, irrespective of whether they are married or not. Feminists have also called for the choice of words, which (if possible) do not exclude one sex, if we are talking about the phenomenon / concept / object, characteristic of both men and women, such as "marriage" instead of "marriage". (English language provides a more global examples: the use of the words humanity and mankind to refer to all mankind, but the second word - mankind - back to the word of man 'man', and because use of the word humanity is preferable, because it goes back to the neutral word 'person') . In many other languages (including Russian) is commonly used grammatical 'he', if the sex of a person, referred to in the proposal is unknown, a Polit-correct from the standpoint of feminists will be used in such cases, 'he or she', 'he / she', 'his / her', 'his or her', etc. In most cases, this attitude to the language of feminism to mean respect for both sexes, and also has a political connotation and transmitted in such a read information. Such changes in language requirements due to the desire to fix the elements of sexism in language, as feminists believe that language directly affects our perception of the world and understanding of their place in it.
