Feminism in Society

            Many adolescent youths undergo a variety of different aspects of feminism in society. Because every individual is different and has varying personalities, they will have diverse effects of feminism. The feminist idea can mean various things to people, but it is an idea that should be practiced by everyone regardless of gender. Such issues that society has placed upon females,  are that they should attain a certain physical appearance to be accepted by the opposite sex. Another issue that society has placed upon women is that women should always be “dressed” up; this includes wearing make-up as well as uncomfortable clothing. Because females are perceived to be the “second sex,” they are not taken seriously within society simply because of their gender. These social issues should be avoided by influencing the act of feminism within our society.
         Females are constantly concerned about how males in society view them and what they can do to improve their physical appearance, instead of just being happy with the body they already have.  Because the pressure of acceptance from males is what many females think about, we are always worrying about what we should look like rather than feeling good in our own skin. Life is more enjoyable if a person accepts themselves as they are without being self-conscious about their outer appearance, especially to the opposite sex.  If a woman or teen feels good about their body that they inhabit should be the only thing that matters, and not looking at themselves and wondering if they are the “ideal woman” that a man would want. A feminist point of view should be strongly considered within society because it would benefit everyone by making women feel good about their own body.
