Features: Feminism (also translated as women's liberation), for many women and even men, often evokes the image of them striding boldly forward, being unattractive women, who furiously demand to abandon their families or are abandoned by their husbands, or perhaps go without bras. However, this dismissive description of feminism is completely wrong. This description cannot truly represent their characteristics and the meanings they embody. In fact, feminism sometimes holds controversial views on family sexuality, mother-child relationships, and the female body. However, these fair gender perspectives are far less "rational" than public guiding trust. One of the central goals of this book is to provide a feminist discourse where various viewpoints and positions can engage in genuine communication. Without a doubt, readers want descriptive explanations and theories about their own questions, and the content we have included in this book. We support reader feedback and provide answers that satisfy their questions. We truly regard readers as our collaborators, hoping they will work with us to build a better-understood, genuine "feminist" philosophy.
