feminist, feminism and sexism?
http://www.barbarakruger.com/art.shtml
I'm doing some work on this artist and wondering what it really means by femism and sexism? Is it in favour or against? i.e. 'a woman should do the house work and give it all her life' or is it saying 'women should NOT be the only ones doing housework'. What is feminism and sexism in breif?
Update:so feminsim supports most females views and the other about men not having to do housewrk because it is a womans job is sexist? so i wonder what Kruger is saying in her adverts here. Please see the link below. Is she mocking and being sarcastic? http://www.barbarakruger.com/art.shtml

Feminism supports the equalization of men and women within all spheres, including, the public, domestic, social, work, political spheres. It believes that if women are going to do something, men should share the responsibility and they should both be able to hold successful careers while the womans importance is not undermined.
Sexism can go both ways. It is basically the belief that one gender is stronger than the other. This stereotype mostly is against women.
I believe that this art is feminist.
The first one is sexism because it is saying that men should not have to do any housework. The other one is feminism because it is saying that men should have to do housework too.
