Content: 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. This can be considered to be quite unfair and feminists often claim that men and women should have equal pay for similar jobs. Therefore, in order to increase fairness regarding salaries in the corporate world, feminism can play an important role and chances are that wages will become equal for women and men in the long run if feminists continue to work hard on it. May make leaving an unhappy marriage easier
Many women all over the world also suffer in their marriages quite a lot and urgently want to leave their husbands. However, in many countries, leaving a marriage is not easy at all. Quite often, women even have to fear to be sentenced to prison or even to death.
