Feminism, the revolutionary struggle continues (not a battle of the sexes, mind you )

This movement, is for Men and Women alike!


There are many many women who themselves are not supportive of such a noble movement. Esp. in India, I have witnessed, women being a party to the slaughtering of the girl child. If a woman has vouched to give birth to a child, she ought to fight to give it a life, regardless of it's sex. But, mothers-in-law and grand mothers-in-law themselves believe that the birth of a girl child is inauspicious. Such women much consider themselves a misfortune to this world and sacrifice themselves.


This was about the previous generation. Coming to the contemporary woman. Does she not believe in absolute feminism. There is nothing called 'partly feminist'. It is just a play of words.


Let me give you some examples.
A model(female) poses for the sought-after fashion brand Dolce and Gabbana, with other male models.




If women like these were to occupy even 30% of the population ( though I am mighty sure the % is more!), it is evident why a noble movement like feminism, or women's rights is not progressing. Many women have totally accepted being used as a commodity. They have just not accepted it, they have embraced it whole-heartedly.


Here lies the problem. Due to a portion of the female population, the rest have to suffer.
In fact, I was just going through some blogs and journals, a couple of days ago. I was shocked to my very core when I came across an article called
'The benefits of Feminism'. And, btw, this was posted by a men's magazine called askmen.com.

Her politics might say equal pay and equal rights, but everything else about her screams modern woman.

I should note that these benefits probably weren't the intended results of feminism. The advantages that men reap today are the result of several decades, if not more, of social change. Remember the ol' days where the boss could nonchalantly pinch the secretary's butt at work? Well, those days are no more. 

Yet some might say that the more things change, the more they stay the same. They may be right. In any case, I'm happy with the present state of affairs and you guys should be too.

If anything, women are more like men these days and we have feminism to thank for it. So I, for one, love feminism -- here's why.

Give Her a chance too...





Why shouldn't I be a feminist? Why do people believe that feminism is just about bringing the male 'ego' onto a lower level?
Why is the world 'critical' about every revolutionary movement?


Let me get this straight.....
Feminism is NOT proclaiming that women are the superior of the sexes. But, it is about giving an 'identity' to her, giving her a unique space, for her thoughts, her dreams, and her entire self.


Feminism has Aims. Quite clear cut, but deliberately made obscure to the world by it's op-posers.
When I say 'Aims' I do NOT mean 'rules'. They are not rules, which have to be implemented. A rule comes into being much after things have been established. Say for example, traffic rules come into being if there are roads, and vehicles, in general, after a technologically sound civilization has come into being. It is not fundamental.


But feminism is fundamental. It is as basic as 'human rights'. Just that people have to see that the 'human' being referred to here is the 'woman'.


To be continued.......Until, we all embrace feminism with grace!
