Personally, I have a very one sided opinion when it comes to feminism, I think that it is a joke, at least in its modern form. 30-40 years ago when Rosa Parks was refusing to move from her seat on the bus, and all those women marching in Washington, really showed how women wanted to advance themselves; that was a very respectful form of women protesting for their rights and what they wanted. Today you get people like Paris Hilton and people like that who claim to be feminists, but all they really do is degrade women everywhere. Their version of acting out is to expose themselves in public, and to sexually exploit everyone that they come in contact with. Honestly, whoever idolizes that type of feminist deserves to be hit over the head and taken to the nearest therapist, because aside from the head trauma from getting hit in the head, they need to find a way to get over their obsession with bad role models. This image of a "strong" women nowadays is apparently a women who is willing to do stupid, regrettable actions that get them attention. The true idols for women should be strong humanitarians of both the present and the past, such as Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony (one of the only women on current US currency)

Feminism plays a large role in the Shakespearean play Macbeth. Lady Macbeth, the wife of Macbeth, is a huge example of a women having power. She is one of the most influential people in the entire play, and she was the reason that Macbeth was convinced to murder King Duncan, who had been an ally of Macbeth's. Lady Macbeth definitely shows the strong qualities that are exhibited in all real feminist leaders today.
