I agree that i shud not generalize.
I was a proud Feminist too until i realized that most are not really fighting for Gender Equality in the Real sense. Or Maybe the ones who do believe in Gender Equality n working on Real issues are not vocal enough on social media or any media. It has become more of a Male bashing n bullying club. I see so so so much double standards in their outlook n yardsticks.
I personally think, Feminism is not just to fight for women rights but for Gender Equality. By that, they shud also condemn wrong doings of women just as much as they wud condemn if a man does the same thing. The Yardstick cannot change bcoz of gender.
Look at Zaira case. I saw so many Internet Feminists jumping the gun n humiliated the guy as a child molester n stuff but the minute the other side showed him innocent, all these feminists vanished. No sorry, No apology. Nothing. Which is exactly why many including women are repulsed by the term.
If u want credibility in ur fight for Gender Equality, one must also condemn wrong doings of those from the same gender n not support anybody blindly. One must also condemn misuse of women card and misuse of biased gender laws. Else, u are only creating a society of Female version of Male chauvinists.
I agree with you now a days feminism is not about getting equal rights but to compete with men. They are version of MCP's, I had this long debate over a female fictonal character whom I thought was stupid. Some of them said I was anti feminist because I was not supporting the annoying female character.
This happens a lot on Indian tv where men characters are not allowed to get angry at the female character if she hides or does anything stupid.
