Feminism?? Really??

Feminism?? Really??

Google says that Feminism means- the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

Easily said and easily written, but this is so hard to understand. The concept of feminism is vague to me i guess or the vagueness is regarding the usage of the term. In the neighbourhood, in the locality, in a town or a city or a state, these days everywhere i see girls equipped with feminism but nothing much to contribute to the subject. It has become a weapon these days, weapon of male bashing attitude, of superiority establishing phenomenon. 

The concept was equality and what some ladies have actually derived out of it, is female superiority. I thought this was to end male chauvinism, not to encourage a female version. Everything in this world can be seen through so many different eyes, this concept being no different.

For me feminism is about being blessed with whatever and who ever we ladies are and certainly taking pride in it. Its about being strong, even after what happened to us in the bus, on the road, inside our house, in that cheap and vulgar eyes. I don't believe in the equality concept here. For me every individual has a struggle, male or female, eve-teasing or career struggle, be it anything! Every individual is different, unique. What is easy for one is absolutely un-understandable for the other. So people are not equal, they are different, every story a Hatke story and every journey, a memorable one.

Why coining a term feminism? Rather call it equal human right. That seems more sensible to me. I am, in no way demeaning anyone's struggle. 

We are dad's princesses, mum's darlings, apple of everyone's eye, still why crib? Most of the women i have seen complaining about male dominance are the ones who hasn't really faced anything of the sort. On the contrary, the one who faces atrocities are much mature. 

So count your blessings ladies. No matter what, we are what we are. We get the most terrible mood swings, still have people around us who say that we are sweet, we have senseless little cravings, still we have people who try and satisfy them. There are people who do not even know what craving is, no one around to understand their moods, no one to bring that curve to our face, still they are struggling, without even knowing where that painful road ends. 

So just smile, because we have so many reasons to smile and such temporary and meagre reasons to shed tears on. Move out of your past and be positive about your future as an individual, not as a man or a woman. Then only, present will sooth your soul. Your wounds will bleed, till you scratch it again and again. Leave then, let them heal and you would see there are not even marks left. 

Keep smiling always, coz you always have a reason if you really want to. :)
