So now that I have your attention let me explain before you faint in shock about how I am not in favor of feminism being a woman myself
Letâs take some of the movements it supports:
#FreeTheNipple:
Okay so for people who donât know, this is where the feminists ask why do we have to wear bras when itâs so uncomfortable and suffocating. The main concern for them is they donât want their nipples/shapeless breasts to be gawked at in public if they ditch their bras because society wants them to be proper all the time. But tell me honestly if a guy rides a subway without his underwear such that his dick outline is conspicuous over his pants, wonât people stare at him too? Infact a girl without a bra would only be stared at whereas a guy like that would probably be deported for indecency. Even a naked toddler will be looked upon with disregard in public. It is not social prejudice against women, itâs social code of conduct and feminists donât have the license to question that on the grounds of women oppression.
#EqualPay
Being a working professional I strongly disagree to this one. I feel pay should be decided on the basis of merit and no other criteria whatsoever. Now this maybe an Indian thing, but I have seen man and woman of same designation sitting side by side, one of them working their ass off while other waited for her nailpolish to dry. In these scenarios should the two deserve equal pay?
#FeminineExemption
OK so this is majorly an Indian thing. Indian women are very vocal about how they are always dominated and suppressed, that men have it easier. I dont know but are they forgetting about the unjust liberties they are granted during university admissions, travel, etc. A guy with 92% is rejected to make room for a girl scoring 83%, a man,tired, after a day long of hard work has to let go of his seat in bus for a girl coming back from a mall âŠ.Do these scenarios sound justified?
#DontNeedAMan
This is the biggest lie feminists have been telling their followers. Of course you do! Being lonely is the single most destructive feeling in the world and you donât want that. Needing a man to buy you things or get stuff done for you is not a sign of weakness. Itâs rather a sign of being uncooperative and antisocial. A strong woman is not someone who believes I can do this on my own. I donât need anyone. Thatâs the sound of an arrogant isolated person. A strong woman is rather the one who thinks âyes I can do this on my own but wouldnât it be fun to let someone else do it for meâ
#YourFigureDoesntDefineYou
Yes it might not but it definitely outlines you medical report. So if youâre overweight, do something about it. Your lovehandles will bring you diseases you wonât be able to handle in later stage of your life. So hop on that treadmill cause your shape will define your laterlife.
In conclusion I feel feminists are a confused community. Yes female oppression is a black mark in our society but can these really be resolved through movements mentioned above?
Feminists can bring about a revolution but they need to choose their battles correctly
