Feminism is not anti-man, feminism is not taken right from men, feminism is all about equality. Feminism is about reaching the stage where men and women have equal rights to everything. What feminists ask is an equal right.

People believe in feminism 

Most people have this stereotype that feminism hates men. This is a man-made belief that is not true. From the beginning of feminism, it wasn’t accepted happily by men as well as women. Men are afraid of losing their rights over women. Some women didn’t want to break their superstition. Feminism’s all about getting equal rights, it’s not about hating each other.

We make culture, culture doesn’t make us.

We made our culture with that belief women can’t be equal to men. From the beginning of the world, the woman had been given the responsibility to take care of children, cook food for the family. We made this responsibility a part of our culture. The man became superior to the woman. people don’t want to walk out of this stereotype and give them equal rights.

Man and woman born with biological differences not social. 

Man and woman born with biological differences. But we make huge social differences between them. we make them believe they can’t be equal to men. They can’t work hard, they can’t handle big positions. Whether we accept it or not gender discrimination still exists in our culture. In some countries and societies, it is intense.

Feminism is equality, not sameness.

Anti feminists show their logic that men and women can’t be the same. It’s true because of different physical appearances they can’t be the same. But they can be equal. Feminism doesn’t talk about sameness.it’s talk about equality. a woman can get the same right as a man.

Why feminism is considered bad.

Million people in the world don’t support the idea of feminism. There are some reasons why it isn’t supported by most people in the world, especially men.

Some people don’t know the real meaning of feminism. we can see women who believe in equal rights still prefer to say ‘’I am not feminist”. Because they are trained to believe feminism seeks harassment man, feminism doesn’t means go against men, what it just wants equal rights. proper education about feminism makes some people believe that it’s not good. Some woman who claim themselves as a feminist are using it against man .which is not admirable. Their aggressiveness makes people think feminism is bad.

Man is not fond of feminism. If we think about it deeply the reasons why they don’t like feminism and don’t support it are because of the fear that feminism let them down and they will lose their power, their control over women.

Why feminism is good.

Feminism was never being worse. Wrong thoughts, perspectives, beliefs, make it unacceptable to some people. The word feminism never showed hatred.it tries to open our eyes from those stereotypes whose make women life measurable. The idea of feminism is getting equal rights in every situation. every human being deserves to live the life they want. Then why not a woman can’t do what they where man is entitled to do what he wants. Feminism tries to give that idea.

What religion says about feminism.

Although I don’t have a proper idea about every religion as my religion gives women the right to talk about what they want I believe every religion does. Being a feminist is not a sin .because it just asks for equal rights, not hatred.

Unfortunately these days I can see people drag religion to show their logic. Religion never made strict rules that can snatch someone’s right but people do. They make their own rules using the name of religion, which is making things worse.

Why feminism is important.

If you focus on the definition of feminism it illustrates to us what feminism is .it is about having equal rights. Though some people claim that gender discrimination has gone way.it’s still here. I live in a country where I still see the discrimination between men and women. where a woman has to be the homemaker and man is the breadwinner. we haven’t got over that belief yet. Women can do something better for themselves, for society. All the time we can’t blame men for our situation because we haven’t tried to change our situation. We have to be brave enough to get our equal right.”Raise your girls” I support that slogan from the core of my heart.

Famous singer Annie Lennox said, in her point of view feminism is about empowerment not about being more powerful than men. She also said it’s all about having equal rights. protection, support, and justice when something bad happens to a girl. I see eye to eye on her thoughts. feminism is all about that.

American journalist Gloria Steinem said Anyone can be feminist who advocates equality and the full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem was the one who became a first-time bride at the age of 66.she had always doubt the custom of marriage and by getting married at that age she proved that feminism is about the ability to choose what is right for us at every step of life.

Australian feminist scholar, teacher, writer, and consultant Dale Spender illustrated feminism in her words clearly. She said feminism hasn’t fought any war, didn’t kill anyone, didn’t practice cruelties. The battle of feminism has been for equal rights, for education, for justices for safety, for abuse.

If still, someone says I am feminist they what’s the problem? don’t you want equal rights? Don’t you want to do what is right for you? Don’t you want to be financially independent? don’t you want to stand for your right?

American artist Leighton Meester said, being a feminist means believe in equal rights, and whoever you ask if they believe in feminism they will say yes. if you believe in that why you are not a feminist.

As I mentioned before feminism doesn’t hate men. who know the true meaning of feminism they are to believe. I believe that we all should be a feminist. Because as human beings we all deserve to be treated equally. The good thing is the situation has been changing. People start to believe in equal rights. women start to fight for it. Someday I believe all the people around the world will get to know what feminists want and  It will get public advocacy.
