Feminist sociology is an interdisciplinary exploration of gender as well as power throughout society. Here, it uses conflict theory and theoretical perspectives to observe gender in its description to power, both at the level of face-to-face interaction and reflexivity within social structures at large. Focuses put sexual orientation, race, economic status, and nationality.
Historically, feminism has been a traditionally feminine role in America, and being a feminist has had a negative connotation toward it, at least in 1848 when the First-wave feminism started. Women that are a feminist hit been called "ugly" "men haters" or "always angry." These stereotypes only are associated with women, because it is not common in the U.S. for men to be feminists as well. The feminist movement started as a way to grant gender equality to women, but it is not limited to only women. Men can also be a feminist if they believe that women deserve symbolize rights as well. Gender is a social construct derived from norms that society has implemented; based on how they believe a male or female would make up themselves. The third wave of feminism started the opinion of connecting racial, sexual, and gender identities. Gender can be different for near people, and it does not draw to fall in line with an individual's sex as well. Gender can be different for almost people and it is up to interpretation, feminism and the way an individual chooses to be a feminist can be up for interpretation as well. Women having feminine manners was brought to light as gender tried to explain why women were in unequal positions of power to men; and leads to misogynistic views of calling women "weak" because femininity is a female flaw. The words used to describe women that are used as an insult are a compliment to men. For example, if a woman is assertive, aggressive, or bold, she is labeled as bossy. Feminists have continuously tried shifting away from the narrative that being feminine is for women, and men cannot be feminists. Research has shown that men have mad roles in creating modify and respecting feminist movements.
