“Oh! You are a feminist? So you must think you are superior to men?”- Yes, I go through this conversation every time I say that I am a feminist. People often associate ‘fem’ with female without knowing the actual definition. Recently I saw a debate going on Facebook about “Why do feminists hate men and don’t discuss their issues?”
Going by the definition, feminism is an ideology that demands social, political, and economic equality of all sexes. Which means everyone in this world should have equal rights and opportunities. Hence, feminists are not man-haters.
But it doesn’t mean that you have to be pro-choice or you should work in the office all day. You can still cook for your husband and stay at home and still be a feminist. Feminism is about knowing that cooking and laundry can be done by both the genders. Feminism is about gender equality and getting equal opportunities for both male and female, not demanding extra rights for women. The feminist wave gave rise to different types of feminism such as Marxist, Liberal, Cultural, and Radical Feminism.
In India, Savitribai Phule became the first woman who advocated women’s rights and education by starting the first schools for girls in India in 1848. So it can be said that India was the first country in the world which kindled the light of women’s rights.
Women of states like Gujarat, Haryana, and Assam have been steadily accelerating on the societal ladder, we can say that the feminist movement is paying off quite well. Soon we are moving forward to a time where women will be seen achieving equality in society, but on the other hand, we also see a new breed of women who don’t react to real-world problems and just want a lot of privileges. We know them as pseudo-feminist and they make things worse for the actual feminists who are actually fighting against the patriarchy and the other greater evils of society. This new breed of feminists are young college-going adults who believe that smoking and drinking alcohol makes them equal or even superior in society.
Feminism can be empowering for college students choosing their career paths, without inequality standing in their way but at the same time, people should also know how they are using it. True feminists should focus on topics like equal responsibilities, gender equality, and empowering other women. They should also discuss that gender, sex, and sexuality do not determine humanity.
It is high time that everyone should realize that feminism doesn’t mean making women stronger, but giving equal opportunities to both men and women. Nobody should be ashamed of being called a feminist, even if you are a man.
Thank you for contributing such an incredible article, Sunita! It is so wonderfully written, and I’m waiting to read more such articles from you! 🙂
Thank you so much for the opportunity ma’am.
Very beautifully explained…well done Sunita 👏
Thanks a ton
Loved the way you beautifully explained the true concept of feminism. I completely agree with you, it’s high time pseudofeminists realise where they are going wrong. Together, we, both men and women can make this world a better place! 😊
Thank you so much ❤️
Well written. 👍
Thank you 😊
Glad that you’ve said about it so well. 👌🏼There’s a whole lot of people who hardly know what the term really stands for. Yes.. a feminist can be ‘anyone’! It’s not a matter of concern for the females only. Anyone can be a proud feminist. ❤
Exactly 🙏 Thank you for your time ❤️ means alot
You are highly appreciated darling! ❤ keep writing more.
Beautifully written. More power to you, girl!! ❤️
Thank you so much 💕
Well-written piece Sunita! The concept is pretty vast to be condensed in such few words, but you did a great job nevertheless!
Thank you so much 😇
You should have begun with the origin like the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, economic equality to men, in the late 1800s..and how its meaning gradually misunderstood in this modern time and also youths should know that the definition also mainly focus on equality, not female superiority.
On giving feedback I must say that this is very beautifully written by you and hope to see more of such in future. Lots of love.
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback but the idea behind writing this article was to redefine the meaning and how it is misunderstood by many. Also I have mentioned about the Indian origin which most of us don’t know. The article majorly focuses on the misconceptions about feminism in the society and the pseudo feminists.
This is really insightful. Keep it up.
Thank you so much 😇
Modern day feminism has raised a bad name. People mostly connect to rude, loud women arguing on the social media for privileges better than men. Glad that you’ve written a clarification on ‘Feminism’. Thank you for the article. Good job Sunita.
Thanks a ton…
I totally agree what you said, you wrote it so beautifully.
Its controversial to say ki a lot of times feminism is misused and ill- represented which gave feminism somewhat a bad rep.
Its no secret that women have been oppressed by men throughout all of civilized human history. We as a society grew up in a culture of toxic masculinity, which is not only unhealthy for women but also for men and how the they women.
People like you should be prasied for shining light into this kinda matters and hoping for things to change and it will change.
Its always one step at a time.

Loved the way you beautifully explained the true concept of feminism.
Totally agree💯💯
Totally agree with u… very well explained….. good work.
I agree with most of the things you’ve written here but not quite settled with the part you’ve included in the definition of pseudo feminism.
Pseudo feminism is basically demeaning men and holding women as the superior gender but smoking and drinking is a choice, men and women both do it and that has nothing to do with pseudo feminism. When we talk about feminism it means equality on all grounds so when a woman is smoking or drinking she shouldn’t be questioned or judged as to why she’s doing it or it doesn’t look good just like a man won’t be questioned.
You can obviously use it an occurrence that may happen sometimes with specific pseudo feminists but please don’t generalize that fact.
I’m sorry if I seemed too rude I just wanted to convey my thoughts.
Everything else is perfect 🙂
