Description

Redstockings Manifesto Annotations Redstockings is dedicated to help women fight to be free of male supremacy. Very determined women who have a battle and want to be treated like equals.

“we are considered inferior beings, whose only purpose is to enhance men’s lives” Women are not thought of as human beings just as things that can help better a mans life. The difference and problems between men and woman are to be solved politically. Because man and women live very closely it can be said women live under “their oppressors”

“Male supremacy is the oldest, most basic form of domination is the most” Male supremacy has always existed, some men dominate the world but all men dominate women because men and women are not seen as equals.

“Reject the idea that women consent to or are to blame for their own oppression” Redstockings disagrees that women choose to, allow or give permission to be oppressed by men.

“we question every generalization and except none” They look into every detail and especially if it was made by man they reject it. They say everything is built on men and their ideas and their ideologies, so they analyze everything and accept nothing.

Summary: Redstockings is basically listing all their key facts as a group. They want to be treated like equals, call men the oppressors, want to develop female class consciousness, want equality through a political way and refuse to accept the idea that women chose to stay oppressed. This is a feminist writing about wanting to achieve gender equality, and to no longer be oppressed by men....
