I think this is a very sensitive topic to treat nowadays, it must be talked with a lot of respect, because even if in the past the problem was even worst, nowadays we have some residual problem from past decades.  I think feminism is a very good movement but in today's population, the meaning has changed a lot. feminism itself means that both men and women deserve the same benefits, because many years before, in almost all the countries, it was a clear pattern of sexism (maleness), and that means that men are more than women, while feminism entered as a social movement to equate both genders.
