Feminism: Beyonce / visual arts
In the present decades unlike the past, the word feminist’ has become a title to brand anyone who talks and writes about the feminine sex. After all the term is dynamic and it is always discussed and conferenced by both sexes in media and even the internet. Hence, the effect has taken its tall and feminism is now just knowing about and believing it, that all are equal but not taking any measures and fight to it. However being a feminist means being an activist of the feminine sex- not that the men sex is to be hated-by believing and having a stand for it that all the sexes are the same and equal in all categorical grounds. This will bring the diverse sex to one ideology and make each and every one a feminist, who understands what he/she is up for.

But due to differences, most need to gain an added advantage to the other and betamed better or best. This brings others especially the weak in a stance that they need to depend on the stronger ones and at most times the feminine sex are at most branded the losers and supporters to the winners-the male sex. However civilization came in and made things notobvious.The female also needed a win. She needed to be active and be at a situation to be able to change positions with the other sexes(Kolmar, Wendy ;Bartkowski).

Literature review
Afterstruggle byfeminists withmuch talk and writing on gender equality there has been a rise to movementsformed tofight and air out why the society shouldconsider for the gender fairness. Even so the recentrenownedfeminist artistBeyoncea pop singer aired out why we should be all feminist by her definition in her songflawlessshe also adds that being a feminist shouldn’t be put much on and just believesin equality for men andwomen(Jones, Amelia).Thishas been the talkto many and should continue as so to make the fight lesshard.This may be so by also acting for thecall. Latoya Peterson sates in her article that intersectionality is a framework forunderstandinghow a variety of oppressions can intersect, and one that surrounds political activismmakingsure it works as manyauthorshave emphasized for action like in the novelted talk byChimamanda Ngozi Adichie.After all weareallfeminists(Adichie26).Feminism at most times has also beenbased meagerly on the sexual harassment and brutality of the male sex to the female. With such it has also impacted on the heterosexual sex who are also included in the fight for feminism as they need equality and a non-discriminative working environment(Jones, Amelia).Some governments have even gone fourth to legalize the heterosexual sex due to the movement.Judith Butlerin her bookfeminism and the subversion of identityhas highlighted the views of lots of authors who have given their view on sexes and howthe gender trouble has impacted changes to the social life with riseto fightfor equality even from the heterosexuals.Most renown women have also given there say on feminism,well a feminist is by definition a person who believes in equal rights. I’m hoping that peoplewill not be afraid to say, that doesn’t mean you hate men.It means that women have equal rights as men(Isaak &Anna).
Data analysis
The data recorded through observation will be used to give the rough and outer image of the research towardsachieving the solution on either method to be used to intensify or congratulate the feminism act. The questionnaires will have short answered questions and also will be done in private this will give the bigger picture of the research as it will be legit and from one point of view with no ideas solicited from outsource.
Limitations
When doing the research one should know thatit is known by the public and doesn’t have much of emphasis these days. Feminism is now taken by many as obvious hence the participation in questionnaires and interviews may be seen as cumbersome hence low turn up which will greatly hinder the analysis.
