We often hear the word feminism from girls and how they are being oppressed , abused ,denied and need strict rules to maintain balance of the society .
But do men even care about it ?
Some may not but I do . For me feminism means equality based on sex. I feel there is a need of equal rights , not biased in favour of any gender. I feel there is a need to increase women participation in courts , council and sports .
Why was “Aarfa” (character of Anushka Sharma from Sultan)forced to practice with men ? why she was the only female wrestler ?
I felt terrible when I watched the scene of “Dangal ” movie , where, when "Aamir Khan" went to a government official for financial help claiming his daughter to a state champion in wrestling and need further help to make her national and then international medalist .What did he respond with ," This is nothing special , your daughter ran a race alone and won it ‘’. Aamir Khan had nothing to say back as he knew it was practically true. Leaving that incident aside, Why Aamir Khan was disappointed on not having a son in the first place? Why did he believe that his only son can won a gold medal for India in wrestling ? Why was a little girl forced to get married ? why did that girl considered “Geeta and Babita” to be lucky for having a father who at-least motivates them to do something else than giving birth and handling family ?.
Why do girls need to be lucky to try something they want ? I feel as long as this question makes sense to you , we need feminism , we need to make a change in this biased society .
I think to improve conditions of women several laws had been made over the past years. But are the really equal ?
We all appreciated Hyderabad police for encountering four accused men for gang rape and murder of young doctor. But was it real justice? What if those man hadn't done anything ? Why were they denied the right to prove themselves innocent , only because they were men and men always do such things?
If you think answer to the above question is “YES” based on what in the history had happened and calling yourself a feminist .. you need to be educated and you need to read this article again and should give special emphasize on bold words.
