FEMINISM AND PSEUDO FEMINISM
Feminism is all about genders having equal rights and opportunities. Fighting for the rights of the individual, regardless of their gender. In simple terms, it means that no gender should be treated with any injustice. But lately, a new type of feminism has developed called pseudo-feminism. Pseudo-feminists have a deep desire to correct all the injustice inflicted on women, often by lashing and demeaning men. But what they forgot is the fundamental essence of feminism- EQUALITY.
Feminism is a social movement, political movement, and philosophy that identifies develops, and achieves gender, political, cultural, personal, and social equality. Feminism reflects the idea that society favors the male point of view and that women in such societies are treated unfairly. Efforts to change includes combating gender stereotypes and creating equal educational and professional opportunities for women and men. The feminist movement continued to advocate for women’s rights such as the right to vote, government office, work, earn fair wages, equal pay and reduce the gender pay gap, have equal rights within marriage, and so on. Feminists also work to ensure legal access to legal abortions and social inclusion and protect women and girls from rape, sexual harassment, and domestic violence. The feminist theory which emerges from the feminist movement aims at understanding the nature of gender inequality by examining the social roles and experiences of women, it has developed theories in a variety of ways to respond to gender issues.
Pseudo-feminists are the individuals who do not completely grasp the definition of feminism and who try to find signs of injustice and violence even though there is none. Pseudo feminism relates to women’s supremacy and men’s hatred. Pseudo Feminism suggests that women deserve more respect, or people of the other sexes do not deserve respect. Living in a culture where women face many challenges every day is the worst thing that some people hurt the term feminism. Pseudo feminist wants to create a world that can be governed only by women. On social media, hardly anyone knows about feminism and they end up being a Pseudo feminist. Feminism is simply about freedom and not about judgment. People who recognize feminism don’t wear a feminist badge. The world is making a significant process in the 21st century and the very definition of humanity is undergoing a huge change and this time it’s about equality, gender rights, and justice for everyone. Many of the pseudo-feminist say that men can’t be a feminist but you know who is a feminist a man, women, or a trans who believes in women’s equality.
A feminist might be a man, woman, or anyone who believes sex should not be a factor in deciding what women’s rights are. It is a concept that strives for gender equality, it seeks to make it so that women are given the same education, the same platform, and the same opportunities that a man has. All in all, we need to mature to the concept of gender equality and give women the opportunities that they deserve but what we don’t need is people spreading hate and unrest in the name of feminism.
