Outline Feminism Has Become Silly, Maybe Even Dangerous By: Warren Todd Huston Paragraphs 1-3: Stated how women's rights were oppressed and how some fought against this. Paragraphs 4-5: Stated that the battle is over, the idea of feminism should be finished by now. Paragraphs 6-8: Examples of silly claims/actions that are being backed up by the idea for reaching equality in genders. ie. A highschool refuses to use the term "freshmen." Paragraph 9- Commenting on the absurd idea of not using the word "freshmen." Paragraphs 15-17: States how feminism truly is over. ie Females are now enrolled in at colleges more than males are. Paragraphs 18-20: People don't want to step on the toes of feministic individuals. They can't take away an idea even if it is unnecessary. Paragraphs 21-22:Give feminism a rest! The world isn't how it was a hundred years ago. After breaking down the paragraphs it is quit clear that the Mr. Huston feels that the idea of feminism needs to be over with. First though he explained as to how and why feminism was needed; women were being oppressed. Looking at a certain time this movement was indeed necessary. He also made it clear that those times no longer are current. Females are just as capable as men, and are becoming the dominate sex at collegiate level learning. Using the idea:equality in gender to get certain words such as 'freshmen' is not the reason for this movement. Individuals are looking for a fight and cry feminism when they take actions. Mr. Huston finds this silly, and almost embarassing. The cause served its purpose and now he just wishes that individuals would give it a rest and move on in their lives.
