Similarly, the second wave feminism focused on personal and social issues as a way to raise the consciousness of women regarding the challenges and suffering that they were going through in society. In this regard, the proponents of this feminism movement sought to create awareness that the physical and sexual abuses as well as other injustices that women were facing in their personal lives was not their individual faults but rather a result of gender discrimination in society, which had been established over the years because of elements such as patriarchy. The aim of raising this form of consciousness was to agitate women and motivate each one of them to rise and join the fight for women equality. For instance, by raising the consciousness that they were not only wrong when they were abused physically but rather this was a way for men to discriminate them, women would become angry and unite again violence in the family. Moreover, it was expected that through uniting women, the political elite in society would be forced to establish legislation laws that protected women against violence and other forms of discrimination in society.
同样,第二波女权主义关注个人和社会问题,以此提高妇女对她们在社会中所经历的挑战和痛苦的认识。在这方面,这一女权运动的支持者试图使人们认识到,妇女在个人生活中面临的身体虐待和性虐待以及其他不公正不是她们个人的过错,而是社会性别歧视的结果,这些年来由于父权制等因素而建立起来。提高这种意识的目的是煽动妇女,激励她们每个人站起来,加入争取妇女平等的斗争。例如,通过提高意识,即她们不仅在遭受身体虐待时是错的,而且这是男人歧视她们的一种方式,妇女会变得愤怒,并再次团结在家庭暴力中。此外,预计通过团结妇女,社会上的政治精英将被迫制定立法,保护妇女在社会上免遭暴力和其他形式的歧视。
In conclusion, despite the fact that the first wave feminism created a platform for women to enjoy political rights such, it did not address the challenges that women faced in society because of its underlying social structures, thus creating a necessity for the second wave feminism. In this regard, the proponents of the second wave feminism thought that despite successfully fighting for political rights, the rights still failed to address the plight of women in society because gender discrimination that was integrated in the very fabric of society. Therefore, through targeting personal and social issues, the proponents of this movement aimed to encourage individual women in society to arise and fight for their rights.
总之,尽管波女权主义为妇女创造了一个享有政治权利的平台,但由于其潜在的社会结构,它没有解决妇女在社会中面临的挑战,因此产生了第二波女权主义的必要性。在这方面,第二波女权主义的支持者认为,尽管成功地争取了政治权利,但这些权利仍然未能解决妇女在社会中的困境,因为性别歧视已经融入到社会结构中。因此,通过针对个人和社会问题,这一运动的支持者旨在鼓励社会中的妇女个人站起来为自己的权利而斗争。
