Critical Comments#2. Critics on Western Theories; Feminism and its counternarratives

Most countries in the world have experienced or are experiencing patriarchal society, because the nations have created through several wars resulted by men's greedy. The modern society, on the other hand, puts more weight on the woman's right to participate in the society. Nowadays, women actively participate on employment and suffrage. As a result, women have well recognized.Feminist theories also unraveled the objectification of women in politics and culture.

My question arises from here, 'wouldn't this marginalize the men?'

The logo on the left is from Ministry of Gender Equality and Family(MGEF). The picture on the right side is LRT1 and MRT line in the Philippines. The similarity in these two pictures is that it strengthens the women's role and position while it marginalizes the men.

Ministry of Gender Equality and Family has been created in South Korea since 2003. The main purpose of this institution is to strengthen and empower women in society. As a result, the institution receives massive amount of budget from the government in order to fulfill the goals that they have set. The outcome for this institution, however, marginalized men's position with massive support for women.

In MRT and LRT, I personally found marginalization of men. The first car of the train is only served for disabled, children, and women while there is no specific car assigned only for men. Even the purpose of this project was to ensure women's security by separating them from the men, men are marginalized by this system. I believe this system is contradictory for what women are asserting, sexual equality.
