  • I believe that the main idea here is  to get the females to make their own identity. She encourages women to stand up for what they believe. To know their worth. Loy basically encourages women to go against the male beliefs. Loy believes that women she be on top and ahead of men. She promotes the superior status over men. She also talks about power. And refuses to share the power that females can gain. Loy argues that women should have a different attitude towards sex. Loy’s “Feminist Manifesto” is a way for women to promote the higher status of women, and self improvement.  Her message is to seek expression free of society’s standards is important to both sexes, but her ignorance of men in a sexual and social actions shows Loy’s point of view  to see her fight and argument as better and higher status women. But Loy isolates the men from the world just to make women’s rights to stand out. Loy wants the women to have greater individual rights, freedom and their true identity. She degrades men in every situation to bring out the importamce of female status.
