So I had a dream last night.
An elaborate vivid -3D glasses virtual reality - sort of
dream, too elaborate to ignore. The dream though elaborate, was random
(according to Adam they’re all random, or at least they’re supposed to be). In the
dream a little girl, who would be typically described as a tomboy because even
kids aren’t protected from superficial labels based on silly assumptions and
skewed perceptions of gender and gender roles. To have a gender based
allocation of roles is an absurd generalization operating under the assumptions
that people who have gender in common are to typically be prepared to have
similar roles, I am not arguing the biological functions of each gender, but
going beyond that is counterproductive.
Anyways, so the little girl grows up fast (since it’s a
dream and all), she grows up to be an angry "activist" fighting for a man free world where female vigilantes are
celebrated for slaying a man , any man! What was particularly alarming was the
fact that she was fighting under the slogan “To end Feminism”.
Adam and I have had endless discussions about feminism, and
we agreed that feminism as a movement was born due to a need for change
stemming from circumstances of inequality and sexism, now not to bore you with
information readily available on Wikipedia!
So Feminism has pretty much reached a success “Plateau”
In the recent years female feminists have adopted a militant
approach to the cause, fueling the movement with personal vendetta and confining
the fight for gender equality and women rights in the narrow borders of the
ancient “Battle of the Sexes”, “Men vs.
Women”, “Us vs. Them” completely losing track of what Rebecca West and her
likes fought for. The fruits of the
early stages of feminism are evident today in many parts of the world where it
was severely needed (some parts had the balance but lost it to globalization,
but that’s a completely different rant). For some reason however, Feminism’s
achievements seem to have reached a plateau of steady nothingness!
OH EM GEE! You broke Feminism!
Why has feminism stopped working? Has it fulfilled its
purpose? Why isn’t it eradicated?
Feminism was born to serve a purpose and it shall live until that
purpose is served, but where did feminist go wrong, why is feminism still
needed in this day and age, where social and global societies have never been
more “advanced”? . Though women are “granted” an overview of equality more than
before, sexism has never prevailed as much before, in social media! Feminists have been stereotyped into hairy man
hating, castrating, emasculating, “unfeminine” beasts who want women to rule
the world, because that’s the image the “loud” ones are selling, and consequently
feminism has become a laughing stock!
Everyone Should be a Feminist! Label or not…
In order to restore the reverence of feminism everyone is to
become a feminist! Oh no! Here comes another male hating hyena trying to
recruit people to jump on her hate bandwagon! Here comes another one trying to
confine people within labels and ideologies!
Feminism can only reach the promise land and ultimately be
completely eradicated when every last human being (man and woman) becomes a feminist whether they choose to don the label .Unite to fight the battle , not
the “us Vs. them” battle, No! The “Us(men and women) Vs. Sexism” battle under
the slogan : “ To End Feminism”.
