Good day,
To all my dear men and my dearest women reading here...
‘I am a bad
feminist but a good woman’-
This is the tagline
of a Ted talk which was thought-provoking for all women.
Since then, I felt indifferent when I find posts like “Being
a girl is hard” or “A girl’s life is horrible” on social media.
I wonder why people
don’t say, “Being a woman” or “Be a woman”, not even “As a
woman”. Quite simple!
I would like to share few thoughts of mine on ‘Womanism’
which suits this women’s day week.
Hope I sound right… being a girl is something tender. But there
is a stage of growth when we are taken care of thereby, we will not get
confused about our life.
Whereas being a
woman is a state of mind which is all about maturity and the ability to
hold thoughts within yourself.
Womanism has nothing
to do with making a female superior or to make them dominant, unlike these
feminist thoughts, which is a real burden in fighting all the misogynistic
thoughts.
In contemporary
culture, Feminism might look like a fashion label, but it has its own crude
ideologies which is what womanism is not about.
Feminists fighting
for gender equality might sound like achieving a better world but that is where
we manifest that we believe in what we are made to believe, that we are inequal.
Supporting other
women and helping them in any way would make this world a better place. A place
where women are free from being judged or mistreatment.
We should be choosy
and cautious of what we should do and not to be swayed by people’s opinion.
“A woman with an
idea in her mind
passion in her work
class in her gestures
will always have respect in her thoughts”.
Just stay inspirational in the way you think and
irreplaceable in the way you act!
Wishing everyone a Happy Women’s day from a woman, for
women.
