I Am a Feminist

I am a feminist and I stand for gender equality. However I don't believe in forcefully taking rights away from men.
I know several women in those parts of the world that are still developing. It's sad to say that they lack basic freedom. Those are the critical area that a feminist should first target. Let's not waste energy on shouting #metoo. Instead support the women who are less privileged than us.
Gender Equality doesn't mean that we deny men those 50% positions to achieve parity. Reservations defeat the purpose of gender equality. Together let's build an even world where both men and women have equal opportunities. Equality means equal opportunities but not equal positions of power.

There are several women who are victims to rape and harassment. Let's stand by them. Let's support them. I am talking about those innocent women who are victims but not those who allowed themselves to be preyed when a position was offered. They not only became victims but also denied a well deserved opportunity for many talented women.
As a feminist let's not worry about statistical data showing women receiving less likes or appreciation. I was shocked to see such an article recently. Let's not worry about lesser women in c-suite jobs or corner office. Let's together support underprivileged women who never had opportunity to go outside their home. If we can raise them, together we can match towards equality.
I really wish women take up the top jobs and I strongly believe that women are capable of achieving that. If we women are capable of leading our homes, we definitely can lead the world.
Last but not least , in our fight towards equality let's not hate men. Our dream of equality should also have space for men. Together we can build a stronger world. There are always good men and bad men. Same applies for women too. So let's not generalize.
Moreover equality should start at our homes. I really love to see all my feminist friends raising both their daughters and sons equally. If not you or me can't teach the world :)
I did not mean to hurt anyone's sentiments. However incase I did please do forgive 馃

It's sad that some see feminism as us above you, rather us side by side

@ozgirl512 Its sad indeed! Feminism has a lot to deliver. Unfortunately I'm afraid the direction is getting lost.

@Mohana like all movements, like a pendulum it tends to swing in both directions till finally settling down

@ozgirl512 I like that pendulum swing theory. Lol!
Women empowerment has to start from positions of power. If we aim at the sky we'll reach the top of the tree. There is no need to feel too much empathy for men. Focus should be to become powerful women!

@ozgirl512 I would be glad if it settles down like a pendulum :)
Unfortunately I fear that once it looses the direction it may never come back !

@Mohana I wouldn't sweat it... It's too late to stick it back in the box ;)
