I don’t know how to be a feminist. An eminent person said ‘if you want to be a good feminist, forget how men treat women, and begin with how you view yourself irrespective of man and woman. The dictionary defines feminism as the advocacy of equal rights based on the equality of the sexes. I am on board with only the first half of the sentence. I believe we deserve equal rights. I do not believe in the equality of sexes. In my view women are beautiful, intelligent, layered, complex creatures. My definition of feminism is not letting a woman be whatever a man can be. To limit a woman to the achievements of a man is just like lighting a candle in the daylight. If we talk about equality than women are getting free bus rides in Delhi which is nowhere near equality. Old age people and poor people need this more than women do. If you are saying free rides are equality than you are definitely wrong this is all done in pity. What a disgrace! What we should do and with “we” I mean the government and all the men is less talk and more action. 

Men, Men and Men, I want to tell you that 80% masculinity is bullshit. I want to ask all the men aren’t you tired of being a man? Being a man is exhausting and it affects the way you treat other people like why do men have to show strength, dominance and patriarchy power every single day. Why? Well, if there is a woman in an argument, the best you can do is to support her and not to interrupt her (you stop, I’ll talk). She is far more stable to fight her own battles you just need to be with her. Secondly, why are men so obsessed with women’s wardrobe? Women doesn’t care about what she wears, men do. Every time a women wears something revealing, men say shit like, “oh she is asking for it”. Our politicians say these thing in the news “She was asking for it”. How ruthless some people become when it comes to women. So many women are deprived of Education, health facilities, hygiene and sex education but nobody is going to talk about that. Nobody has a right to talk shit about women when they don’t know what she has been through. 

One piece of advice – respect women, respect her decision, her clothes, and her choice and don’t throw your opinion and your decision on her. She can handle herself better than anyone.
