Feminism is a movement about equality and goes against lines drawn by society which expects Women to stay in based on their own beliefs or societal norms, be it political, economical or even work. It’s to rid the ideology of being viewed as the ‘weaker sex’. Both Men and Women can be feminists. For e.g. men are expected not to cry and women belong in the ‘kitchen’. This is a very misogynistic and backward concept, because ultimately Men do cry and some are even better cooks. Whereas some Women are more diplomatic and possess fine DIY skills. Skills which aren’t categorised and can be performed better irrespective to what ‘traditional’ societal expectations are in terms of gender roles.
Feminism is not about equality.Feminism is about getting preferential treatment.
- If it was about equality then feminist would have demanded quotas in blue collar jobs like garbage picking,working in mines,construction industry and etc.
- If it was about equality they would have not demanded same pay as men when research shows that women usually work in less valuably jobs and work less time as compares to women.
- If it was about equality then feminist would have demanded the gov. to decrease social welfare funds for women as most of the taxes that generate these funds are paid by men.
Feminist are demanding preferential treatment under the guise of equality.
Why should they be given preferential treatment?
There are certain qualities that Women posses Men can never have, equally there are certain qualities Men posses that Women can never have - both function differently. FUNCTION DIFFERENTLY. Men in terms of physical strength are generally stronger, Women are emotionally generally stronger. Henceforth the view of ‘dominance and superiority’ is offensive and delusional on both sides. It’s all about the mindset.
Women are emotionally stronger?WHAT???
Women are emotionally weaker then men. That's why women are more prone to crying,getting scared easily,can't work under stress,complaint more and etc.
Men are emotionally and physically stronger then women.That why almost all the dangerous and stressful jobs are done by men.Not women.
Men's physical strength and emotional control is the reason that almost all religions and cultures have given men authority over women.
Real feminism isn’t about disregarding Men and insulting nor about being ‘better’ - it’s about being equal. Equal as citizens and humans, in views and opinions, in professions and in household. It’s absolutely fine if someone wants to work their household in a very traditional structure so long as it’s mutually agreed - but it’s also absolutely fine if someone wants to have equal decision making. That is a right and not an extra incentive.
Yes every person has a right to his or her opinion.But this does not mean that the value of every person's opinion is same.The more value person provides,the more valuable is his or her opinion.
Decisions are only made by one person.The rest can give suggestions,but the final authority is always the single individual.If every individual had the same authority for decision making, then nothing gets done.Each decision making authority will give different/contradictory orders.This result in chaos. and confusion.
That why every organization has only one leader,one CEO,one prime minister and etc.Single leadership is the key to success for family as well as organizations.
And that leadership role in family belongs to man,due to their
physical,
emotional and
intellectual superiority.
For those Women who willingly and by their own choice prefer to stick to normal traditional cultural structure - that’s fine and it’s wrong for another Woman to enforce her views or intervene, as that is oppressing. Everyone is free to make their own choices and what suits them.
The thing is that feminist are hell bent on making women work for corporations instead of their family.In west where feminist have turned the social structure upside down,Stay-at-home wives are shamed for their choice.
I believe it is the typical Man who usually turns a perfectly normal Woman rebellious due to restrictions they enforce based upon their own beliefs. In Particular the South Asian society - it’s almost acceptable for a boy to harass a female who is outdoor and when questioned, they point the finger saying ‘you shouldn’t be out’. So a Woman now is not only accountable for the opposite genders misbehaviour but also made to feel guilty for doing something absolutely normal and EQUAL to a Man - as mere as going out. When we start teaching our boys from a very young age that if it’s not okay for your sister to be out during late hours, then it’s not okay for you too. Period. Nothing justifies a Man harassing a female irrespective of attire or hours. If you won’t do it to the females of your own household, then respect females of a different household even IF they are different. Pride and Honour isn’t restricted to Female.
It is a typical patriarchal men who give a women happiness.
Take the example of a child.If you fulfill every of wish a child and give him complete freedom to do all things he want,then that child turns into a miserable and unhappy spoiled brat.
The leadership and discipline provided by parents makes the child happy and successful.Parents do say no the child's wishes,scold him/her,spank him/her and places restriction on the child that's because it benefits the child.
Same way a men acts as a protector and guardian of women.A men provides women with a structured,secure and stable life.This structure and disciplined life results in women's content and happiness.
WHAT?? Female harassment acceptable??
It's the opposite.
In Pakistan just a mere accusation by a girl that a boy harassed her,even if with no proof,the public will beat the poor boy an inch to his death.I have witnessed it myself.
And if the male member of girls family find that a boy just stopped her on the streets they will kill the boy and feel no remorse.And you know what the society will say?That they were justified in doing it just because he stopped a female on the street.
More male are killed in honor killing then females.But feminist and the media won't highlight it.
‘you shouldn’t be out’
They say this because an individual's should do his/her utmost best for his/her safety and honor.Your safety is first your responsibility,then anyone else.
Never put yourself in a position in which there is a chance for being harmed.
Precaution is better then cure.
A female due to her physical and emotional weakness is unable to protect herself against any aggression. That's why females are not outside alone or stay out late.
The boy is being taight that he has to look after his sister.To protect her against every harm.
For example:If I am walk alone at night through a bad neighborhood,flashing my cash full of wallets and expensive mobile.Then if I get robbed,the yes the robber was bad and he committed a crime against me
BUT I WAS THE FOOL who walked alone at night ,through a bad neighborhood flashing cash and expensive mobile.Because my safety is my responsibility,not the robbers.
So,is asking someone to be more responsible for their own safety wrong?
