If a girl talks about feminism, then the whole world starts thinking that she is here to claim how requisite she is. Feminism now a days is termed as an insult. And I cant even wonder why!
Feminism was a positive word, which was used in early 19th century to bring reform on issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, women suffrage, sexual harrasment and so on.
This was actual feminism, not the things that we hear in todays world. What we get today is a seriously distorted image of feminism. Today's feminism is less about equality but more about domineering men. Many feminists are confused with the mere concept of feminism. Many take it as a imagined fight against men. They are under some spell which makes them hate men. Womens fought against crucials issues to attain equal rights. But now!
A girl riding a bike is feminism for us. Or worse, a girl doing jobs which were usually done by men is feminism for this generation. We deliberately do not want to see the bigger picture.
Although when the first phase of feminism started in late 1960's, women's imitated men. They thought that copying men would make them equal to them. They started doing things like men, starting from the clothing style to the manner in which they talked. But later on when they collected their thoughts, they
realised that how lame their opinion was and how weak they sounded. And soon they realised their notion of feminism.
Now they considered that free women is the real recognition of a feminist. A women who is not locked in the shackles of the society. That was the time when they truly established what feminism was.
The ironic part is that, on one hand women's demand equality and on the other side they solicite for exclusive rights. Many government examination forms are free for female gender. And I bet that every feminist out there ignores this fact and still uses these privileges. Why?
Simply because they are bunch of feminists, who are so darn confused with their identify of feminism. And eventually they still call themselves feminist.
There was a time when world was in chaos of war and at that time women's undoubtedly needed guardianship. As the order of the world was maintained by force. And we all are well aware that females are weaker than men, when it comes to physical dimensions ( I see some feminists calling me sexist here). So men obviously had upper hand at that time. But now, to survive in this era all we need is cerebrum power. And luckily there is no dissimilarity in this case. So why are women's still treated as charity case?
They have access to everything, be it education or employment opportunities.
As a true feminist, I beleive that we, females dont need things to be served to us on clatter plates. Let us work hard for them. Please dont spoil us.
As emma watson said that feminism is about freedom of choice. Its about freedim, liberation and equality.
