Feminism--a yes or a no?

Dear Blogger,

Today in class we were talking about feminism. Yes, and we even got to see a video on this woman who was very very feminist. She came from Chile.
In my opinion she was a strong-willed woman who was not afraid to show what she believed in and what was best for the community or for the world if that matters.
I can honestly say I can't really remember her name, but really, what's in a name? It doesn't really matter what her name is as long as she speaks her mind and let's the world know that she can do it, no matter how difficult and confusing a situation may be, she tells herself that she can do it.
Women, were made from men, and yes that's true but it doesn't mean that thye shouldn't be allowed to speak their minds or do whatever they want to do for a change. In this video, this important woman, was recognizing great women leaders around the world, and how so many got through life with tears, blood and bruises. It pains me to say this but it's true. Tell me, comment on this and explain to me don't you think men should have a little more compassion for women? Give them what they want sometimes, ask them what's wrong?
A man should be gentle to her and everyday of his life he should be thanking God for having such a splendid woman.
I'm not a pure feminist but at the same time I'd like a little respect and I think every woman out there would desire the same thing.
