Feminism means a million things to million people, let's stop arguing about our own definitions, but there are few basic things to clarify about this. Feminism is not about dominating men, its about just being equal. Feminism is not either about supporting matriarchal society, its about opposing patriarchal society.
Yeah….! being a feminist means believing in equal rights for all genders, LOL,,,,its not about hating men.
You know what's important for a women.It's being financially independent. Whoever men maybe in your life whether it's your father, brother, husband, friend, cousin whoever it maybe but after certain level of age a girl should be financially independent. It's paramount. It makes her to live her own life. Being financially independent doesn't equate to “I don't need a man”. Instead of being a burden she'll become a value addition. A man should never be a financial plan.
Empowering women doesn't mean girls acting like boys, it means girls should not have to act like boys in order to be powerful. Of course we girls have a right to express our opinion, feminism you know…..But our opinion can't disregard someone's existence. Feminism can't be defined by your clothes. If we say “ let them wear what they want” it also means women in hijab and men in makeup not only a girl in bikini.
Fighting against rape case or sexual harassment doesn't make you a feminist. It's the most common issue to talk about for all. Stop having a norm that only girls are feminist, there are men over there who know the true meaning of equality and justice. Feminism should never be the misunderstood concept in the society, it should be just like the article in constitution let many of us be benefited.
I literally don't know what's stopping some people from treating women equally. Is there anything to gain from this. Respecting your boss in work place, caring your mother, loving your wife doesn't mean world is equal without any discrimination. A real man respects every women, a real women give him something to respect. You know what I mean. Let's be confident, let's not give up on anything, let's be the real us. Stop having a misconception about man should respect women because we are their daughters, mothers, sisters etc…..Men should respect women because we are humans. There's a meaning for our existence.Just respect it, it's your basic duty.
THANK YOU.
