This is a controversial topic which is making people talk and debate and protest and write and blog about it.It is there everywhere, and the new age women are pretty muddled about its real meaning. The meaning which i got from internet is "Feminism is a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment."
Its one of those utterly topics where endless debates make round.And normal or i must say "common" everyday women struggle to find a real balance and seek to be considered equal to men.The many inevitable events in our life not withstanding.The breaks some women take to raise kids, or to various other reasons.We have to toil harder to prove our worth.There are ideal cases where hardwork only matters.In workplace too we apologize for things which probably our male colleagues think as nothing and never give a second thought.In the east when the maximum population is misogynist and have crimes like rape and violence , then feminism actually is a mockery.When the women struggle to get basic needs to be met and think nothing of misogynists and in turn become one, it will be really funny to discuss feminism.
Then there is the everyday struggle of maintaining the equality.I have personally never expected any male friend/relative to pay the bill just because he is a man.And i uphold this belief that true feminists are one who practice it in real life and not just talk about it.Remaining independent is something i feel is important to me and i continue to be one.Here i mean financial independence, independence of thought, able to express self. These everyday thing which are norm to us are something which most our countries population struggle to get a balance on.
I am neither a feminist or anti-feminist.I think all humans are equal and there is nothing like gender differences in ideal world.Women do like to get pampered and that's not an anti feminist behavior.We don't have to be trouser wearing chest beating feminist to be considered equal.Like the other day the husband and i were coming from office and we carried our respective back packs.Mine was heavier as it had laptop and his was lighter as there was no laptop.It was crazy hot day and crowded metro.We both were tired after a long day.I was quite tempted to swap the bags and was thinking why doesn't he offer to swap.Now, a true feminist will never think of swapping! I just thought if he wasn't here, would i not continue carrying mine.So, why take advantage of him just because he is there.So, unless i am about to faint i doubt if i will ask anyone to carry my burden.This doesn't make me feminist but just a logical person.This is just a minor example .I have seen girls behaving oddly in presence of men.Pretending to be empty headed and look to cute to be true by asking cute little questions (don't the men love them).Expect men to pick their bills.Make others make the major decisions!Gift them with things which can be photographed and uploaded to facebook .
Its a short life, we just have to live it to its full potential.Be it a feminist or ant-feminist.But, never as a misogynist.Keeping it simple and not too complex and not try to tag every event as pro-anti feminist is also a key.Some girls i know solely exist to always bad mouth the guys and prove that feminism is the real power on earth.Now, i think i am starting to ramble.Sigh! I don't think this post really makes sense, i was planning to write something and this really is haphazard.
