Why I am not a feminist?
Why I am not a feminist? Is it because I hate women? Is it because I am an incel or Is it because some girl broke my heart or something? Let me tell you, this post is lengthy and sometimes funny too. So, read it till the end.
Well, I am not a feminist in the same way I don’t support charity and I am not against the idea of empowerment in the same way I am not against the idea of helping people.
Just like charity helps only rich and wealthy individuals to avoid taxes, feminism helps only privileged women socially, politically, legally, and in their careers.
It does not help the majority of the women who are not privileged or who are at the lower level of society. Why is that? Wasn’t feminism designed to empower every other woman? I have worked with an NPO for almost a year and I have learnt so many things so let me answer this.
People often try to look at the situation of women as if men are trying to suppress them in some way or men are responsible for their lack of empowerment. People just look at the one-sided narratives of the entire complex social system. This creates biased opinions and men end up being considered as some sort of patriarchal tyrants. Let me tell you this is not the case, reality is far from what is often talked about.
