Former Cheris Kramarae Professor and Director of Women's Studies at the University of Oregon states, "Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings" (Kramare; "Quote by Cheris Kramarae"). Kramare makes a bold statement by touching on the idea that feminism, even today, is a struggle; the so-called radical component of the feminist movement prevents the advancement of gender equality. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy defines feminism: “Feminism is both an intellectual commitment and a political movement that seeks justice for women and an end to sexism in all forms.” However, feminism is also a broad topic that includes many subcategories. Stanford expands on this explanation of feminism by stating that feminist theory can. Unfortunately, internalized sexism is just one example that makes feminism necessary. Steve Bearman, MS, Neill Korobov, Ph.D., and Avril Thorne, Ph.D. analyzed daily conversations between 45 pairs of female friends and focused on internalized sexism. “Internalized sexism, which occurs when women enact learned sexist behaviors on themselves and other women, also takes on everyday forms” (Bearman, Korobov, and Thorne 10). While women do not intentionally promote sexist and anti-feminist positions, this happens on a large scale. Bearman, Korobov, and Thorne's study found that "on average, 11 such [sexism] practices occurred for every 10-minute conversation." The excessive use of sexism makes this conversation material ordinary, whether the participants realize it or not. The authors included a dialogue in which a woman “demonstrates the type of mild objectification in which speakers identify women by physical appearance rather than by their behaviors or relationships.” In one example of this, two participants used objectification in a normal conversation: “They were in their room with Bill and Lorraine, or whatever she's called, the blonde girl who's not really a blonde.” Referring to Lorraine by her physical appearance is mild objectification. To achieve gender equality, women themselves must stop promoting sexist ideas in regular, everyday expression. Feminism is also considered The feminist movement is still alive and there is a lot of progress to be made. Jean Edelstein, a research fellow at the Institute for Public Policy Research, says: “Younger generations of feminists have mistakenly focused on work-life balance and gender pay gaps rather than on the difficult issues of sexual violence and of the subjugation of women. Now we are experiencing the consequences." While feminists may not have gone wrong by focusing on issues of work-life balance and gender pay gaps, one thing remains true: we need to focus on serious issues like sexual violence. In this idea one could say that feminism has made great strides of progress. However, a new era has dawned with new ideas, and attention to these new issues is critical. Edelstein says: “The incentives for women to report sexual assault are low, and the odds of them seeing their attacker in prison have steadily declined since the 1970s.” According to Edelstein, there is currently no adequate legal framework to incentivize the reporting of serious issues such as rape. Since serious problems such as sexual violence still occur even internationally and feminism is a political movement that seeks to involve the law in the fight for a more gender-equal society, a “post-feminist” society
