   If humans were born to be equal like our gods said, then we should follow the rule and treat everyone equally. In the poem "Girl", Jamaica Kincaid created a figure of an omnipotent mother that simultaneously taught her daughter to become a woman that required the standards for the society of the period. The mother talked to her daughter without politeness or love. All the demands were strict and had no way to be talked over. The mother asked her daughter to learn all the trivial matters, teaching her what she was expected to be and acted like an Antiguan woman. The short poem has no plots, actions and conversations, only short sentences that contained all the requirements and the demands that were said by the mother, which showed that there was no love and perspective in the family. It is hard to notice the relationships between the two voices, the mother and the daughter. The poem looks like a to-do list, listing all the schedule that the girl need to do. All the requests were asked to fulfill the needs of the father or other membership in their family, while this part demonstrated that women were considered the servants in the society. The girl did respond twice in the poem, however, it was not noticed by the mother. Instead of answering her daughter, the mother kept saying the household stuff to her, which I considered it was not a normal teaching style for a mother, but a stricken action that people treated their servants. Besides, as a mother and a woman at the same time, she had no empathy to her daughter, but still commanded her to finish all the housework that the mother might had done when she was young. This two events demonstrates the difficulty of mother-daughter relationship and the contradictions of the femininity. Also, life under the patriarchy and the situation of colonialism were all the reasons that explained why the girl was treated as a servant. By using the one-way teaching style, which meant that the mother gave no space for her daughter to ask questions or even gave her time to say something, she just kept installing those ideas to her daughter mechanically, Kincaid had not only delivered a thought that the girl from the colony has a no space to express themselves and also conveyed the ridiculousness of the spoon-feed education under the system of colonization.

Compared the poem and the secondary source, we can tell the connection between these two articles are the misuse of feminism. In the past, women played the lowest role in the society. The rights that women should own were firmly expropriated by the world. The feminism was misused and even got unnoticed. By the time passed, feminism has been gradually raised and people started to help women to earn the rights that they should own. People started to understand the definition of feminism and learned how to respect women. After decades of fighting, women now have been treated equally in most of the world. However, the same condition appears again, there is still a lot of misuse happens in our society. The only difference between past and present is that in the past we took women as our property as granted so the society disrespected women and misused the femininity, but now we suppress women because we abuse the femininity by proclaimed that we are raising the awareness of feminism.

 In the modern society, feminism has become the weapon that some women used to make themselves an excuse for not being strong or a reason for being weak so that men can do those complicated stuff for them. Feminism becomes the logo that means women can do whatever they want. Those women raise the flag of feminism, they called themselves feminists; however, the truth is that they abuse the definition of feminism. The definition of feminism is the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. The most important part of feminism is to raise awareness of treating women equally; the main idea of the feminism is equality. In the past, we held high the flag of feminism to promote the idea of not treating women like a servant, do not think they were the presentation of weakness, and do not considered women as properties. But for no reason, now many of us use feminism to suppress men and even women. For example, many singers created their songs and wrote the lyrics by themselves, but there are a lots of words like "bitch" were used in the lyrics, and the most astonishing fact is that some of the singers are female. At the same time, those female singers who wrote the unfair lyrics also claimed that they supported women to stand out for themselves or calling those girls who came for their concerts to be brave! Being yourselves, don't limit yourselves because those unimportant person had criticized you! Those female singers devalued female in their songs but supported women to stand out for themselves. The contradiction appeared. There are some reasons to explain their actions. First, not only those female singers, people who like their songs might have the same problem that they don't even noticed. These people unconsciously objectified female, they don't mean to attack women by using those words, but they were also not standing out for not using those inappropriate words. To them, these words don't seem to be offended because words like "bitch" or "slut" appeared in our life too frequently so that they don't even think these words were actually obstructing the improvement of how we understand feminism. The other reason is those people don't understand the definition of feminism at all. They said they are one of the feminists, but they were not. The truth is that they don't understand the definition and they sometimes don't even support it, which I think this part could be a dark secret that those people would not tell to others. Because once they tell the secret, the world will criticize them and maybe treat them unfriendly. So here comes the problem, why the competency of the feminism is so blur? Is it right that everyone who support feminism can called themselves feminist? 

The main reason why people abuse the definition of feminism is that they don't really know what's the true definition and the real meaning of feminism. Because they don't understand the true of the feminism, there is a lot of misunderstanding to feminism which directly influence those "feminists" to act in the proper way to promote the good of feminism. In Zora Simic's article, he claimed that academic feminism is recognized as producing feminist competency, while others suggest that this competency can reach its limit when academic feminists cross over into public space. Which indicates that since the academic feminism becomes more popular, the competency for the feminist will be limited. In Zora Simic's research paper, he suggested that it is a value that serves to both reinforce and quarantine the influence of academic feminisms. 

If the academic feminism is popular between public, then the qualification of being feminist should be limited carefully because a "feminist" who confused the meaning of feminism is a serious problem. Once who promote the feminism in wrong definition, the consequence would be alike to the past, the misuse of feminism will appear again and again. 

Feminism is a great idea that helped thousands of women in the past to survive from the publics' and men's suppress. In fact, it has more use not only to save those women who treated not equally but also helped present people to know the truth of equality is not a two opposing sets of ideals between genders. Both men and women should all feel free to be sensitive. Emma Watson said in her speech in 2014, "both men and women should feel free to be strong". The equality of feminism is about being yourselves, and not be restricted by the publics or anyone's way of looking at things. Understanding the true meaning of feminism is the way to make the world equal and better. The misunderstanding of feminism will lead the world to a black hole in which we think we are doing the right thing but in fact we are just raising the wrong idea to people. Therefore, qualifying the competency of feminist will be the most pressing matter of the moment to protect people who is suffering the pressure from the misunderstanding of feminism. Since we misused the feminism in the past, like the poem "Girl", the daughter and the mother who were both the victims under the suppression, we should now start to think of the true definition of feminism and begin to think in a proper way of how we should be a real feminist so we can protect ourselves and others.
