Main Point #1: Women are not naturally subordinate to men, but they remain this way because they fail to bring about real change. (Simone De Beauvoir).
Main Point #2: sex is a category of status, just like race and class. It determines whether one is powerful or subject to anothers power. (Kate Millett).
Main Point #3:The legal subordination of one sex to the otheris wrong in itself, and now one of the chief hindrances to human improvement; and that it ought to be replaced by a principle of perfect equality, admitting no power or privilege on the one side, nor disability on the other.. (J.S Mill).
Reworded Thesis:
Can the feminist movement lead to the equality of men and women?
For things to change women must no longer be thought of as the second sex. Rather they must be understood as just as valuable, and capable as men.(Simone De Beauvoir). The feminist movement has the ability to lead to the equality of men and women due to the awareness it is spreading in regards to the oppression of women and uplifting women to know their worth to rise and be equal to men.
