Contemporary Feminism and Its Self-Undermining Tendencies: Perspective of Women Aged 20 to 30 Years Old

Abstract

Men and women were created as equals, both regarded as the most noble of beings. However, societal perspectives on the status of women vary significantly, with many limiting women’s opportunities. This research examines the women’s position in society and how the limited opportunities have led some of them to blame themselves. The research was conducted using a descriptive quantitative methodology. Data collection was carried out by administering questionnaires to individuals of Women aged 20 to 30 Years Old. The data were presented through a process that involved data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of a survey conducted through Google Forms concluded that 75% women agree they have as many opportunities as they currently possess but 58% women often feel pessimistic due to limited career opportunities because 100%  they agree that they have received praise for achieving something, not due to merit, but for other reasons.. The proposed solutions include building self-confidence, achieving true gender equality, and fighting the good fight. The primary advantage for women in realizing their ambitions is the distinctive perspective they provide, which can enhance discourse and foster innovation across multiple domains. The impetus to effect change motivates numerous women to pursue equality and promote beneficial development for themselves and others. These benefits enable women to realize their aspirations and objectives.
