How do you
define feminism?
A dainty creature who is competent of cooking at one time,
working the other and cribbing half of the time for her rights? Okay, let’s get
this better.
In cities, there are special provisions for women seats in
city buses, women get a special quota when it comes train services. Forget this;
it is certain that you must have at least once felt the urge of telling a man
to help you out when you fall down. Say from your vehicle itself.
Trying to
act all petite when we want something and when we don’t, we blame the typical
male mentality and chauvinism for it. Why castigate them when it us who have
actually created and embossed the image of being flimsy in their minds. I don’t
see a point in shouting slogans related to how men and women are equal. Had we
been, you wouldn’t have asked the guy ahead you to let you go first in a queue.
All those admonishing that we lash fiercely claiming that men and women are
equal. If that’s the case, what is the point of availing exempts based on
feminism?
As
comprehended by most of us that includes both men and women, feminism is not
something that is concerned with a set of protocols designed for women. Neither
the feminists demand a special treatment for them. Why need a special treatment
when we allege to be equal?
Feminism, on
the contrary should be defined and asserted the other way round. To forget that
you are a woman. To break all those chasms, those innumerable boundaries and rising
above the fact that makes you feeble inside. Which also include giving away
your Mahila seat in buses to an old
man who is struggling midst the crowd in search of a seat. Yes, that’s what
you call feminism.
So ladies, on
this world women’s day, instead of exhibiting how diminutive we are, how badly
we need JUST a day to commemorate our importance. Let’s actually stand up for
some definitive causes. Be a feminist who commands respect and virtue and not
merely demand it out of sheer vulnerability and propensity.
