The female gender was seen as the weak gender for many centuries, and decades, and even now, it’s still happening in some countries due to masculinism.

Masculinism took over all around the world, especially in poor countries where the justice system was weak, meaning there were laws but they were corrupted or ignored, especially against women. Therefore, women had to agree with any kind of law that was opposed to them. Which most of the time were unfair and their gender was ignored in this laws ( ex. The right to vote, work, drive and others.). Until the 18th century through early 20th century. Women from the upper class started a movement. They were the only ones that had a slight chance to do something about it. Poor women had NO chance at all to speak for themselves or to start a feminist movement.  These poor women still suffer from reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, women’s suffrage, sexual harassment and sexual violence, which sounds absurd because it’s been happening for centuries.

 Sociology’s women founders have in common many ideas. But the main one is gender equality. All the ideas from the founder of the feminist movement and the ones that are still fighting against this global issue have contributed to the  achievement of laws of equality that were impossible back then.
