SYMBOLS OF FEMINISM!!!

A symbol of the Women's Movement or radical feminism,consisting od the astrological symbol of the planet VENUS ,also known as symbol of the ROMAN goddess Venus,and the clenched fist,symbol of 1960's and early 1970's "power"movements.

      There  are certain symbols and images that have become synonymous with feminism and equality.They have become Facebook profile pictures,phone wallpapers,bumper stickers,desktop backgrounds.We see them everywhere and likely don't think much about it except to say" oh, look!A fellow feminist! ". Here's a little background on some of these feminist or equality symbols and images.

     The symbol for" women" or " female"  was named after the Goddess Venus and has become the symbol denoting all things female.It is sometimes displayed on the door of the women's restroom.Despite it's regulation to bathroom doors, there is actually a lot more meaning to it related to spirituality. Fortunately as we have learned more about gender neutrality and inclusion, the symbol has been adapted in many ways to better reflect gender diversity.

    This symbol popped up during the activism movements of the 1960's and 1970's .It is often associated with" radical feminism". This is obviously an adaptation of the Venus Symbol combined with the raised fist which is more commonly associated with the symbol for Black Power in the sixties.Venus symbol is not always thought to represent feminism. Combined with the raised first,it became the Woman power symbol and became a symbol of feminism.

  This symbol which is frequently used to denote the type equality , was created as the logo for the Human Rights Campaign. What this logo is really about is the fight for equal rights for LGBTQIA folks. (Lesbian Gay Bisexuals Trans and Queer). In 2009 while the Supreme Court was hearing marriage equality cases, the

logo was reworked in red as a marriage equality symbol.

      COEXIST idea is simplistic and a fairly tale to implying that people with these stickers are going against Christianity and they are the downfall of the world!!!!
