Random Thought: My Thoughts On Feminism | Macauley Ufan


Some women would rather not be associated with feminism at all for the simple fact that it makes them less attractive to men and endangers them to singlehood.

Some men even threaten feminists that they won't be rewarded with husbands if they do not abandon their foolish cause. And women are aware that they risk being ostracized by embracing feminism.
The light at the end of the tunnel is that we will all get to that point where women are no longer validated by men in society. A point where women can make independent choices for themselves and not worry about how ‘sellable’ or attractive it makes them to men, as though women were derivative human beings.




Fitting in with men’s expectations has caused some women, over time, to bend in unnatural ways. Women are held to higher moral standards than men, not because they are naturally more virtuous, or biologically more capable, but because men are in the position to impose those standards that women have to conform to (if they wanted to be taken off the shelve).
My ideology of feminism is quite simple -
Feminism is not about trying to be a man or replacing him. Feminism is not debating on choosing a man's name when married, Feminism is not taking up a man's title, as some women who go as far as calling themselves King.
If your father splits his wealth equally amongst all his children, male and female, that is feminism.
If parents send both their children to school and not favor the Male child, that is feminism.
If you get promoted at work based on merit and your experiences, that is feminism.
Feminism is being treated the same, awarded the same opportunity and not being written off because you are female.

Feminism has nothing to do with who washes the dishes, who does the laundry, who earns what and by how much. It’s not about morals and religion. Not all cultures are proud to have a daughter. Many still abort female fetuses' once they know they are carrying a daughter. That is is what feminism is trying to address.
