I am a women of this society who faces all those obstacles and negativity in real life every day which we only talk about. Well, I am a feminist and I can confidently say I am not a fake one. Belonging from a middle-class Indian orthodox family I know what it is to be deprived of freedom, whether it may be speech, choice, belief or to express oneself. Independence is the main goal of women in today’s generation and that is what is going to bring change in this corrupt society of ours.
Before I move further into the topic a small note for all the women out there-
We women have the capability and potential needed to win the world so you should never settle for less than you deserve. People come and people go and leave their opinions but we are not supposed to be living our life on someone else’s principles and terms. Enjoy life on your own standards and never let anyone restrict you from anything. Live your life the way you want and as you do, motivate other women to live a happy life on their own terms. Make mistakes, make bad choices but never let those stop you from doing what you want to do. It’s important we understand that we are equally contributing to this society as men and even more than that so there is no reason for not being respected equally. Love yourself and be happy.
My Views On Equality of Women
Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women
I believe feminism comes when there is equality in society irrespective of colour, gender, race, religion, financial condition or job status. We deserve to be respected and the biggest thing is to give us the luxury to present our choices. We need to take decision for ourselves whether it is choosing what to wear or maybe what to say. We need to be provide the liberty to share our opinions and choose for ourselves.
In today’s generation I have seen many people who claim themselves to be feminists but when they see a women in shorts on the streets they not only judge her but also ill treat and disrespect her. So, yeah you can’t respect a person’s choice of clothing and then you claim yourself to be a feminist, well that’s ironic.
If a women is virgin, respect her choice. If a women is not virgin, respect her actions don’t judge her and call her a slut. If a women is pregnant before marriage remind her it’s a blessing and if a women decides not to have a child even after marriage try to understand her. If a women wears short dresses, look at her with respect and try not to be an asshole and if she decides to fully cover herself then also respect her and don’t question her sense of fashion or capabilities. Learn to respect people’s choices.
My Views On Lack of Sex Education and Periods
Sex Education is important as we need to know issues related to our sexuality, reproduction, sexual activities, pregnancy, birth control. We have been gifted with sexuality and exploring that doesn’t make you a bad or characterless woman or man. But while exploring it we need to know about certain things so that we don’t end up having unwanted pregnancy or sexual infections. It also gives us information on sexual violence which is vital nowadays as seen from the incraease in number of sexual assault cases.
When a women is on her periods and has a stain on her clothes don’t make a big issue out of it, though some people are making progress while some are just stuck with the ideas of people ages ago. It’s normal to have periods. This is natural and this natural occurrence is the very reason of our existence. I think sex education should be given in every school so that men also know about their source of existence. And who knows maybe it will help decrease the number of sexual assaults and help women increase their hygienic safety and take precautions which can prevent harmful diseases.
So, here’s the end of this blog. Hope you guys like it. If you did please share this as much as possible because people need to hear our story and people should know about the importance of women and feminism.
A special shoutout to all those men who respect women and fight for their rights every now and then. They help the society to become a better place and help all of us grow as a civilized society. We are blessed to have you.❤
