Understanding Feminism

Feminism is defined as the belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. The goal of feminism is to challenge the systemic inequalities women face on a daily basis. Actually nobody knows what is the actual meaning of feminism!!! Feminism doesn’t mean only women rights rather it means men and women being equally treated. But some of us takes feminism to another level. It’s important to understand what is it and what it actually means.

variation in thoughts and state of mind is visible as millions of people still think that there should not be equal rights for men and women! The ones who are not in the favour mostly consists of people with views based on their old traditions/practices/rituals, witnessing things from time back, or some with major egos in themselves. They don’t support the idea inwardly or outwardly, it’s not that they are not developing. They are but still some mindsets that can’t be changed. On other side there are thousands of people who feel we’ve already arrived at equality for men and women. So we just have to understand the exact meaning of feminism, as we see higher society there the women who think being modern is being feminist and the defination for them is drinking and smoking, i don’t say this is wrong but just by doing this you can’t be feminist.

Feminism is about equality of men and women, not “sameness.” So many people offer up the argument that women are not the “same” as men so there can’t be equality. In other words, because their bodies are different (many say “weaker” and smaller), and because men and women have different physical capabilities, these physical differences mean equality is not possible. Sometimes women uses feminism as a playcard/ victim as in selfish mode which is not right. It’s abundantly clear that our specific views on these issues are rooted deeply in our own personal and direct experiences, rather than on any data, (In other words, if we’ve personally faced discrimination, we know beyond doubt that it exists. But if we haven’t faced it ourselves, we often doubt that it happens.) We have to understand the actual meaning of feminism and i know its complicated like us (humans) .

  1. The advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.
  2. The theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.
  3. The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.
  4. The social, political and other rights should be equal than to men.

It can’t be understood in one article neither i have capabilities to do its just a thought csme to my mind so read it fewer articles and penned it down and in end just wanna say many people fear that feminism will bring about negative shifts in relationships, marriage, society, culture, power and authority dynamics, and in business, job and economic opportunities if and when women are on an equal footing with men.

I am a stay at home mum. It is now that I have started to realize and understand the meaning of parenting and there is no way it can be a success or fail. It is a continuous process just as life and understanding human behavior.
