FEMINISM……!!!?

     The feministic movement which started of to help women to come out of their shells and express their views and match their male counter parts has now transformed into an institution busy asking for alms of reservations.  Rather than competing as equals the so called ‘feminists’ are busy blaming the society that fails to give’ women equal rights’.

The irony is that they fail to realize that rights or freedom is no commodity to be given or taken.  Freedom that is gained by obtaining reservations is equal to getting the right to do something as alms, and no person receiving alms is ever considered equal to the one giving it.

So, I just wonder what these feminists are out to prove by bragging about women liberation from the societal norms.  They fail to realize that freedom doesn’t refer to breaking open the cage of culture been built around us and nurtured for years.  It is rather the ability to make up a fort around us and strengthen and retain opposition. 

True liberation can only occur when we liberate our souls from the imagined slavery, and submission which doesn’t occur anywhere beyond the power packed speeches of the feminists. It would be better if people stop complaining about, who has been dominating whom, and get to reality and realize that only hard work and true determination can take us places and not day dreaming and reservations….
