Feminism

“One is not born, but becomes, a woman. “-  Simone De Beauvior (The Second Sex)
One of the most enigmatic words of our time is Feminism. It is a word, a signifier that seems to denote a lot to different people. I have observed that a while it signifies emancipation or liberty to one set, it Is a derogatory word for another. For some it means male bashing, while for others it is symbolic of equality.
So, what is feminism? The most common definition of it declares that it is the radical notion that women are people. A feminist could be a male or a female. A feminist is someone who believes in equality of both the sexes but also accepts the inherent biological differences. I say biological  because there is a basic difference in the biology and anatomy of a man & a woman. If you ignore this, then you blind & foolish & most definitely not a true feminist! A man is physically stronger & a womans body is designed to tolerate the pains of childbirth.Celebrate the difference, not demean it.
To be a feminist you dont have to hate men. Both men & women are people. They are, philosophically speaking, two halves one of Whole. No one is better or worse than the other. They are equal, but different.

I think that within all these years, the term feminism has almost become a folklore. People have come up with so many versions of it without even grasping its concept. They comment on it, judge it without even knowing what it is really about. It is even used derogatorily. I think when a woman says she hates men or that men are evil animals or worse etc etc, she is not a feminist but a direct opposite if a misogynist. She is a misandrist.

Feminism is not a political thought, nor is it a sociological one. It is a psychological state. No form of liberty (national or individual) exists if the mind is not free of petty boundaries that society has imposed on us.

Women Empowerment

Nature has assigned division of labour beautifully to both the sexes; it would be hideous to make it biased towards only one. Gender discrimination has taken its toll on both the sexes. Men are also victimized into being the compulsory provider to the family, the problem fixer and all that. The question that one may as is that then why is there no such thing as Masulinism. The answer is simple: that out of the two sexes it is the female whose oppression is tangible and overt. Now people are slowly starting to do away with the stringent codes of how to be a man or a woman. Men now sport pink colour and long hair. Women have gone miles. But theres still light years to go.
