Why has popular support for feminism been declining so much?" Feminism is no longer required now that we live in a post Equal Rights world. In fact, the ways in which mainstream feminists have changed their tone in order to try and tackle the remaining social issues (women's only of course) has also led to it's demise in overall support.
It's become too radicalised, and most people are simply NOT on board with that. Modern feminism is viewed in a justifiably bad light due to the actions and statements made by prominent feminists on it's behalf. Even self-proclaimed feminists spend far too much time trying to defend the man-haters or denying them by giving the dictionary definition of feminism rather than just leaving this corrupted ideology to the many misandrists that have infested the mainstream movement.
What we area left with is this. Few Identify As Feminists, But Most Believe In Equality Of Sexes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/16...
Because of the actions of so many radicals. They make true legit feminism look stupid and of you have spent anytime on tumblr or youtube you can see these extreme feminists doing their best to undermine more than a hundred years of hard work by the real pioneers. It is a shame.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
