Western Feminism is something that is local to us. Issues in the media and things such as dress codes and unequal pay are common ideals in western Feminism.
Eastern Feminism involves matters outside of our country. Matters involving female genital mutilation, strict oppression, and lack of education for women are issues that continue to plague a large region of the world.
Feminism differs depending upon the culture and general religion in an area. In America, many people fight on behalf of "white feminism" White feminism is creating an issue because feminism should be open to everyone but women of color and transgender women are often excluded from the mix.
In areas such as the middle east and some areas of Africa still practice the beliefs that women are inferior and their only jobs are to cook, clean, and produce children. Sure both Western and Eastern feminism is important, but we need to focus on the women who are losing their lives fighting for their rights to education.
