One more idiot who does not know the meaning of feminism. 🤔. It just means equal rights for females and males. It means simple things like educating a son and daughter equally, giving validity to a girl's dreams and not short circuiting them because she should get married. Not considering a daughter a burden, but a blessing like a son. It means making a son help in the house too and not make him sit like a king while the daughter has to help in the house because otherwise her future mil will scold her. It means raising a man capable of ironing his clothes, clean, cooking his own food and not behave like an imbecile with household tasks while he is a math genius. In a patriarchal society like India and even a mindset like desi culture, these things matter.
No one said don't take care of people. But that does not mean not asking your husband for help if you need it. It does not make you a bitch if your husband makes coffee for you. You can cook dinner for your family but so can your husband, does not emasculate him. These are small things but make a big difference in female education, increase in marriage age, female employment, equal pay and say on. No where does it say one has to be a bitch to be a feminist. I wear jeans and pants mostly but I am still female. Does not make me a man to be independent, confident and assertive, have a job, drive a car, have a bank account, be opinionated, say no to things I dislike. I can still be kind, nurturing and cook dinner. Does not make me abnormal, just a female with equal rights raised by parents who valued me and my dreams as a person, same as my brother. That is what feminism is. Equal opportunity for both genders, it is as simple as that but has tremendous consequences for girls especially. Ignorant Statements like these are not helpful, so she needs to STFU./endrant
