Why am I against the idea of today's feminism ?

Well, the heading may have got you scratching your heads, isn’t it ?

This is actually something on which very less people focus on or try to think about it a bit deeply. You will find most of the women across the globe, claiming themselves to be feminists or campaigner of women's rights, which I, of course do not condemn, but find a bit irrational.

Women in the whole world have suffered a lot in the past. From being counted into men’s property to getting excluded from giving right to vote, they have endured so much. But the question is, haven’t we learned from our mistakes ? Haven’t we introduced so many plans and programmes for woman to get uplifted ? Isn’t it enough ? Isn’t it now the job of woman to work hard and get through the way ?

You may find my words a bit misogynistic, but I, am myself a woman and I hate it when the female race is labelled as people who are considered superior just for being a girl. I am a person who strongly believes in equality and being completely unbiased. And, I want the establishment of a normality where male and female are completely equal irrespective of the past. No reservations for women or men anywhere. Human beings will get selected for jobs, elections etc only on the basis of their merit and skills not because they are born male or female and need upliftment.

These feminist ideas have led many girls take advantage of their gender to acquire something in their life. Only due to these thoughts, worthy and commendable woman are still considered undeserving because they are believed to be getting benefitted for being a woman. I have seen men disregarding any achievement of woman only because they think that they may got preferred or selected just because they are a girl. Innumerable people have used the idea of showing themselves to be more supportive of woman or favoring woman so that they can get popular. Also, in some criminal cases women are considered to have an upper hand without any legitimate reason or just due to the fact that they are female and are always believed to be the innocent one which can lead to many people getting punished for the things they haven’t done and have been falsely accused into.

Feminism talks about upliftment of women but in reality, it is the one which has actually led to the downfall of women who have had genuine talents which needed unbiased judgement rather than being classified in the category of taking illegitimate advantage of things. I don’t want women to feel inferior because of what they are. I just want every human being in this world to shine or progress only on the ground of their capability, personal skills and dexterity, only then the world will be balanced in the right terms. Both male and female race is important for the future of the world and the right operation of everything.

Concluding this, I would like to say that, BEING A WOMAN WHO IS CONFIDENT OF HER THOUGHTS AND WORDS, I CAN DEFINITELY SAY I AM NOT A FEMINIST BUT AN EGALITARIAN AND A HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST.
