In her recent online article, “Oh, Come On, Men Aren’t Finished,” Cristina Sommers explains that no matter how many times women say that they don’t need men, we actually do, to not only survive but also to thrive. Although in some fields of study women primarily dominate such as in psychology, biology, and veterinary medicine; men still call the shots in many more fields of study, such as computer science, math, and technology. The point the author is trying to get across is that despite the fact that, “we’re living in a society that’s enamored with the “WAW” or “Women are Wonderful” phenomenon,” that men are not going to be obliterated because neither gender would let that happen. Even though well-educated men are not in danger, Sommers

The main thesis of Dorothy Sayers' article is "a woman must be accepted as a human being, a real human being of the feminine sex. " Male and female are terms used by people in order to describe man and woman in today's society. These terms, however, not only describe opposite sex but it also demands these opposite sex to fit into its categories. The society expects that a man is to act as a male and a woman is to act as a female.
Words such as ‘unspoken assumption’, ‘insidiously’,‘exaggerating’, and “preoccupation” show suspicion towards the topic of women's rights and movements . In addition, the author also gives emphasis towards the downfall of men’s rights by including details such as “special privileges and protection to women” and “men’s supposed mistreatment of women”, thus showing how the author is directly opressed by the fight for equal rights. The author sees men's rights and their struggle with oppression as them being expected to have traditional cordial manners and fall into the traditional role of the patriarchy of the family, and decides to ‘debunk’ feminism by using these few points against a legacy of hatred, oppression, and misogyny that created
Throughout the course of history, women's role in society has changed immensely. The certain expectations set on them by the standards of society became widely accepted. They are controlled and are made to adapt to society's norms. Their actions are amplified by the men in society. The thought of superiority in favor of one gender leads to these societal norms that need to be broken.

How do people and cultures interpret gender and their roles? “The question of gender differences and roles has baffled and angered us, delighted and confused us, in life as well as literature” (Shea 347). People still question what the roles of each gender remains. People view gender through different beliefs, cultures, and time. People 's beliefs about gender can affect education and public policies.
In today’s society, cosmetic transformations are becoming inevitably more and more popular; procedures such as Botox and liposuction, and other body modifications like tattoos or implants are well known throughout the world. But what about a complete gender transformation? A man who is convinced that he is trapped inside the body of a woman and wishes to pursue hormone replacement therapy or even surgery to right himself; or a man who desperately fights off the hateful words of his society with his attempts to become a female. Whatever the situation, the uprising controversy of transgenderism is taking social media by storm. But can the attempt to change one’s gender make a truly meaningful change in his life?
Therefore, the inclusion of ‘oppressed’ groups, such as women of colour, with different sexualities beyond heterosexuality, of different economic backgrounds and further aspects took place, to a large extent, throughout the second wave of feminism (Krolokke & Sorensen, 2005, p. 1). Women all over the globe fought for their rights in as well as outside the labour market (ibid., p. 8). Several outcomes emerged through the waves of feminism and feminist movements.

Critical feminists use gender ideology as a concept which describes the ideas and beliefs held by society of appropriate ways in which a male or a female should behave and the masculine or feminine traits they are expected to possess and portray as appropriate to their biological sex (Coakley and Pike, 2014; Houlihan, 2008; Jarvie, 2006). In order to understand gender ideology, the process of gender socialisation must be considered; this being the learning of norms and values which
Femininity is missed by women’s movement. While feminism succeeded to establish the fact that women are equally human to men, the fact that women are also women; that is uniquely feminine- has been lost (Denison, p. 89) Oppositely, postfeminism embrace the idea of ‘unique equality’ and all things feminine. The new focus is emphasize “femininity as a means of asserting power since the feminine is equal to the masculine even though it may look different” (p. 89). Postfeminism seems to embrace feminine and masculine characteristic and differences.
This can be done by rejecting cultural scripts. For example, entering male-dominated fields, such as body-building or Science and Technology (Dr Leullos,2014).
