So, my essay topic was "feminism is not really a third world issue". I argued against it saying that "feminism is really a third world issue" or important third world issue. Was I wrong to go against the statement?

Someone knowledgeable please clarify this so aspirants don't commit mistake, if it really is mistake, in future as I couldn't find a thread dealing specifically with this subject. If it is ok to go against a topic, when is it justified? Although, I saw an outline by Sir Bilal on the same topic and he also went against the topic, I thought I should create a thread to have a complete sense of when it is right to go against a topic and when its not.
While writing an essay, though you can write either way but when it comes to CSS, you need to be very careful. You need to study the mind behind the topic of your selection. For example, take 'Feminism is not really a 3rd world problem", in this topic, the examiner, hailing from a 3rd world country, is expecting arguments that could confirm the thesis statement.... Don't ever go against the national interest (asdefined by the state institutions... Don't ever go against your national heroes nor contest any statement by a state institution.... And you should do it in a simple, comprehensible and fluent English that is grammatically correct. Regards
