FEMINISM VS FEMINISM

•    (Relevant for Sociology Syllabus: Paper 1- Systems of Kinship & Paper 2- Systems of Kinship in India)
•   (Relevant for GS Syllabus: Paper1- Social empowerment)

• There are 2 types of Feminism in this world- 1) I am not less than you 2) How much you earn.
• Let’s talk first: I am not less than you- Here women tend to compete with men in mainstream and everywhere else and wants to tell that all those years when you were in power we have faced a lot of things but now is the time to tell the world that we are not less than anyone.
• Be it a man or anything. Name the field and we will tell you who’s the boss? Women have achieved in every sector and have proven time and again that they are not just equal to men but far better than them.
• Names like “Indira Gandhi”, “Kalpana Chawla”, “Saina Nehwal”, “Ïndra Nooyi”, “Vandana Luthra”, “Angela Merkel”, “Christine Lagarde” and many more have shown us that field or work doesn’t matter if women want she can be at pinnacle anywhere. It is just her choice.
• Now comes the marriage time. When women think of marrying and start looking for a man of her dream. Never ever heard from any women that her prince charming is obese having one pack or her prince charming is not earning well and she will take care of him. Never ever!
• Now here comes the second Feminism. Every time when you are looking for a girl to marry and you speak to her, the very first question most of the times pops out is that, “How much you earn?”, “What is your annual package?”
• Oh boy, you earn less than my daughter, But, you earn less than me,
  Your package is very less how will you take care of my daughter?
• How will you take care of me? Don’t do this and demean yourself, women. You are far better than this.
• How will you take care of me? What does that mean? Hey! Girl you are out there proving yourself in every aspect of life and still asking how a man will take care of you.
• Why don’t you say that you will take care of the man? Why it is wrong for a woman to take care of her man monetarily when she is capable of doing so? Why does she need to be dependent on man monetarily?
• No girl no- you need not require a man to take care of you monetarily or by any other means. You are self-reliant and can do anything. We need more example of women empowerment in this area as well, where she leads the charge of money as well and is not dependent on man for anything.
• If a guy comes and is suitable BUT ONLY FINANCE IS AN ISSUE THEN DON’T LET HIM GO. Be the light to show the world that you can take care of the man as well.
