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.

Need I say more!        Ladies, now, it's your call.

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! 

Basics

Life as I see it... Life is beautiful, precious and so on and so forth.... This phrase is an iconic cliche!  I cannot help but wonder, why 'beauty' in general, is always tagged with the 'lighter'  of everything that exists.  Let me start with the very basic 'trend'..... Colour. I haven't yet talked about racism, will come to that shortly... Why do 'most' of us find 'lighter and Brighter' colours as more beautiful,  appealing and attractive, than the darker ones? Is it an intrinsic part of our nature, or has this dogma, been trained,  and hypocritically been made into a fact? A lot of people i know, believe in simplicity( though i beg to differ!) of things. So let me start with as simple a thing as a favourite colour..... Excluding black and White (the former being a mixture of coloured pigments,  and the latter being a combination of coloured lights), if I asked you, to choose  your favourite colour, most girls would say Pink(baby),  and majority of the guys will say blue (sky,light, etc.). A few might say lavender or a bright red,  or perhaps a parrot green, even a sunflower yellow. Isn't it apparent that there are HARDLY a few people who claim to like darker colours,  like Brown, or sap green, etc? Why the difference? All colours are equally beautiful, and appealing! The seed of racism is sowed at this very basic level. The choice of colours.  Basically, our minds have been 'trained' into believing the difference! If, human brain to be trained into believing such an appalling establishment, then,  what is the difference between artificial intelligence and Nature intelligent.  We are analogous to Robots and computers. We are nothing but, some written set of programs, that we blindly follow! In fact, if one wants the concept of racism to become extinct, then, we must even refrain from using the very the evil 'word'! Secretively, we'd be calling for the devil himself ;) Amen

My Poetic Angle!

Befriending Loneliness!


I stand high right up to the sky,
My arms symbolize strength, that’s a lie!
Apparently happy and bold, virtual tranquility
Expressed in all ways, succeeding with great felicity!
Yes I’m bald without my beloved leaves, bosom frozen with cold blood,
My body sore with cynical glares, can you hear the silent flood?

I wear a stern countenance, an attitude voluptuously donned,
I swear they are ironical, not just worn for love to be loaned
There lies insecurities very deep inside, with unalloyed alacrity for love,
Waiting for a glance, a look, a touch, akin a single Dove
Superficiality of carnal pleasures, pure love undefined,
Loneliness so corrosive, company so confined
Profound my contemplation, with persistent confusion,
I ask lyrically, Life is Precious, an illusion?

I now wait for the season, when ripest is the Time,
My long lost love, my leaves, bringing to me warmth which is sublime!
When I shall be loved for what I am, not for what I should pose to be,
Not to sing a beautiful song a la melody, or to dress like a Princess for the world to see
But for my leaves, the apple of my eyes, subtly laid on my arms,
Just spelling loneliness, would raise doubts and alarms
History is fait accompli, future is not, please let them know they are invaluable,
Vivid memories starve me further, cannot their stay be perpetual?

I am 'certain', nothing's 'Certain'!

This is going to be my first post. This blog is going to be an assortment of my most 'profound' thoughts and beliefs. One might find it contradicting to their own thoughts, but the bottom line is that, I am what I am, and shall never bow or disfigure my opinions, to fit into this 'world'.


The most 'absurd' phrase that I have ever heard is


"whilst in Rome, be a Roman". Society plays an important role in all our lives. But does that mean, that we should change our sole 'identity' in order to fit into the society.
What is society? Isn't it formed why a group of human beings? Isn't there a slight, but 'finite' probability that, these set of people, could have been wrong?
We all believed in 'Newton's Theory of Relativity' for so long a while. No one dared question the principles laid down by Newton. But eventually, Einstein came along, and disrupted the entire 'fabric' on which our scientific principles were  embroidered into!


Yes, in the beginning, I do agree, that there was resistance from the 'society', for accepting such a remarkable change in the structure of the scientific principles in question. But, we all( the world I mean) did indeed, recognize the logic and embraced Einstein's 'theory' graciously.


That was just one example from the million I could quote.


The point that I am trying to make here is that, even though one may find my opinions repulsive,  there is a finite probability that I could be right.
So let's just put aside our 'dogmatic' opinions, and give room for 'innovation' which will finally lead to revolution!!


Thanks you for giving me audience!
