Regrettably, it has taken a Trump to come into power for women to find their own power.
These are real issues. Anthropology and History is witness to subjugation of women all over the world and yet it still continues. Women in this age are fighting to find their way out of an unequal pay situation at workplace. Sexist media culture, objectifies and trashes women. Their health care benefits, sexual, reproductive and abortion rights are curbed and decided by men. Misogynistic established, social and cultural value systems still treat women as the weaker sex in our societies.
These are some of the shameful challenges mankind still faces in 2017. Even though we have advanced in the field of automation, artificial intelligence and technology, we seem to be going backwards in the area of women’s rights and liberties.
Scarily in this whole ubiquitous negative social climate there has been the rise of the FAUX FEMINIST.
If you are this lady, you need a crash course in life aka feminism.
She believes feminism to be something like this:
I am a feminist but I am ashamed of declaring it!
There are women who say, “I am pro-women and want the best for them, but I am not a feminist.” Well then you never can be one. No sane and aware person will shy away, from calling herself a feminist. Unless, she believes the upperhand misogyny has in any case.
Or else, is not ballsy enough to ruffle the feathers and question the status quo. The ‘I am strong and independent but not a feminist’ stance does more harm than good. It’s a meek and an ignorant display of privilege.
I am a feminist yet I shame, hurt and bring down other women.
When a woman is insecure around fellow women, constantly feels threatened by other successful and ambitious women. Tries to control and bully other women and goes great lengths to subjugate her peers.
Well, we rest our case. That is not a lady who gets feminism.
I am a feminist, based on convenience.
If you are the type, who believes, “I want everything the guy wants and has.”
But you are unwilling to do everything he does as an equal. Constantly behaves like the damsel in distress, cries victim, is clingy. That doesn’t qualify you as a feminist. Basking in the glory of your subservient persona (created by the society), won’t take you far enough. The key is to break out of the stereotypes created by the society and us too.
I am a feminist because it is cool and the “in” thing to do nowadays.
Then there is this whole bunch of ladies who want to talk about feminism at parties, high teas, soirees, social dos and salons. Well, because that is the thing to do right now! But hypocritically lead alternate fake and regressive lives by their own volition. No baby doll, you ain’t feminist for sure.
I am a feminist, which implies men are inferior to women.
Fahmida Riaz, puts it aptly, “What feminism means to me is simply that women, like men, are complete human beings with limitless possibilities.” Feminism equals to humanism, liberty and human rights.It does not mean proving the point that all men are lesser, bad or need to be hated.
I am a feminist which requires berating every man possible on the face of this earth, NO.
Some women want to take on the role of the oppressor and feel that’s the way to score a point. Treating a person (man) badly without reason, levying false charges and committing crimes against them isn’t feminism. Playing the gender card negatively isn’t feminism. That is just being a terrible person. Spewing venom like this is just not humane.
