Stop Male-Bashing

Feminism, an idea about equality of genders, has become nothing but a buzzword. Now a days the essence of its meaning is lost somewhere and is more subject to instances of pseudo feminism. Some women believes that putting down the male makes them look better, stronger, & more independent.

Everyone is trying their best to fight Misogyny. But demeaning men, in the name of feminism is where the thin line between the Ideology and its Pseudo side is erased. “Fem” in the word often misguides people – it does advocate what women are entitled to, but on the ground of equality. It doesn’t mean that women in any way are superior.

Although, Misogyny has been more prevalent in society, Misandry is not absent either, but yes, it does go unnoticed at times. This is because of the ingrained myths that make men less vocal about the injustices they have had to face. We have been generalizing opinions like that of men being stronger than women or women being more capable and worthy of household work than men.

Character assassination of men in the name of feminism won’t make the world equal, but standing up for each other will. Male bashing cannot shield women against the prejudices, altering the deep-seated beliefs can. We are all humans and are entitled to have opinions of our own. Attacking others in the name of feminism is where we are going wrong. The limits of women’s choice to lead their lives in the way they wish to and in no way does it align with the idea of equal treatment.

In the idea of being fair to all underlies a feminist approach. It doesn’t matter who you are a man or a woman, we all deserve equal opportunities to be our true selves. The feminist goal is to create an equal society for all, nothing more, nothing less. It implies equal respect to women and not that the other genders deserve no respect or less of it.
