Abstract

As per Merriam-Webster (2021), Feminism can be defined as the advocacy of and belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes expressed on behalf of women's rights and interests. One of the popular terms that are being increasingly used to describe modern feminists is 'pseudo-feminist. This paper reflects on the origin and meaning of the term pseudo-feminism to ascertain whether the use of such a term takes away women's right to be angry against injustice. Through careful consideration of the injustices encountered by women historically and different approaches to feminism, the paper establishes that the use of terms like pseudo-feminism undermines feminist causes and unfairly demands women to be not angry with the gender who have since time immemorial spewed injustice against them.
