Content: Higher level of freedom
In general, the overall level of freedom of women in many countries is still rather low and men usually have much more rights in general. Yet, freedom is one of our most important goods and should be considered to be a human right, independent of whether you are male or female. Feminism can help to promote a higher level of freedom for women since it strives for a higher level of equality in all parts of our daily life. Better overall treatment of women
Women are also often treated quite poorly by men in many countries all over the world. In many regions, women are rather considered more as goods rather than as human beings and men often have learned to treat their women quite poorly. In many cases, even though women may suffer from quite poor overall living conditions, they are not able to improve their quality of life since they will often be discriminated in all parts of their daily life. In order to improve the overall conditions for women, feminism can also help in this regard since it promotes equal treatment of men and women and if the overall acceptance regarding this social norm increases, men will tend to treat women much better in general. Higher wages for women
Another upside of feminism is that it might lead to higher wages for women. In our current state of the world, women still earn far less than men on average. Even in the case when men and women work in similar jobs, men tend to earn significantly more money.
