FEMINISM

FOR WHAT DOES "FEMINISM" STAND AND REPRESENT?

First, let us remind ourselves what is the real meaning or ideology of feminism.

The main ideology of feminism is gender equality and not the superiority of women or any gender.

Not all men hate feminism and not all women are feminists.

True feminists respect all individuals and do not have any double standards of judging any person be the person of any gender any religion or any social or political standards and whose belief in gender equality is of utmost priority. So a woman's love for nice dresses or for high heel shoes or any fancy dress or desire does not make her any less of a feminist, unless she uses it against the real true meaning of it and for wrong intentions.

"Feminism is not about being one thing or the other it's about having a choice of being   anything without any discrimination of any kind." 

As all well-suited men are not gentlemen similarly, all so-called feminists are not feminists. Do not ever generalize 'femininity' with 'feminism' or 'masculinity' with 'anti-feminism'. A person who ought to fight or stand for equality is feminist, be it of any sex.

The age-old debate between gender disparity between males and females is still going on the recent trend goes on saying every man is a rapist, creep, stalker, murderer, and so on who intent to assaulting women all the time. Which mirrorises men as monsters and predators which is not true most of the time. 

Women have indeed been a victim of many social misogynies and unjust behavior by the male gender for many decades. But now it's not right to male bash all the time and generalizes men as monsters who always thinks to pounce on and destroy women. It is the time to reflect and change the age-old ideologies of males' priority/dominance and bring and implement the rightful ideology of equality at every section of our society.

Many men fought and stood for women's rights and equalities be it Raja Ram Mohan Roy to Rabindranath Tagore to Manockjee Cursetjee to Jyoti Rao Phule to Dr. BR Ambedkar and so on. Many men are feminists along with women and they are proud to be so. 

In the word "equal rights" equality comes before rights. Feminism is not about being one thing or the other it's about having a choice of being anything without any discrimination.

Some signs that show pseudo-feminism are when they generalize and say 'all men are dogs' and say it is just a joke, but they only say never call a woman 'bitch'. Both are wrong and sexist jokes and who ever says it must be corrected then and there.

Let us take the time to think critically about the system we rely on as a society and realise the full spectrum of womanhood in its various hues.

Many women are guilty of holding men to stereotypes which is just as bad as the ones they hold us to. Though men are not victims of many years of gender domination, men are definitely struggling with this too. When men no longer feel the need to prove superiority with their physicality, women will no longer feel the need to prove their passiveness. As women who see themselves as less of a man because you show them respect have no self-respect for themselves. Those men who don’t agree with your appreciation of the female sex more than likely spend most of their time demeaning women than sleeping with them. 

Feminists those who believe that women's actions are above criticism and can always be excused because of discrimination they suffered, therefore, they never take responsibility for their behavior they are complacent to such behavior and those women are actually known as pseudo-feminists.

We as individuals need to introspect and analyze what is right and what is wrong. For me, personally, Feminism is the way but not pseudo-feminism. It is pseudo-feminism which ruins and destroys the whole aspect of feminism. (WHAT DO YOU THINK? COMMENT DOWN BELOW)

we know all we know that our society is not perfect but perfection comes with practice and starting to respect and give women their deserving equal chance will at least initiate a move towards an equal society surely if not perfect society.

SUPPORT FEMINISM AND NOT PSEUDO-FEMINISM. STAND FOR EQUALITY. STAND FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND FOR GOD's SAKE DO'NT DEPRIVE ANY ONE THEIRS RIGHT BE IT ANY GENDER. RESPECT ALL. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY BE HUMANS FIRST BEFORE MALE OR FEMALE.
