Finally , read that article ...
It has further reaffirmed my stand as an Equalist ..
That article was no different than countless other posts that I have come across on IF .. the writer did attempt to answer the questions posed by me but failed miserably in trying to do so ..
Not only is she ignoring the fact that "modern" feminism comprises of varied definitions ranging from equalism to absolutely horrid definitions ( though she did vaguely acknowledge the evolution of concept ) but she also came up with her own twisted definition of Equalism .. I could not disagree with article more ..
The only point that made a little bit of sense to me is what I had already reiterated earlier - you may perceive my change from a Feminist to an Equalist as an insult to the history of feminism but on the contrary , I do so in a hope that the sanctity of true feminism remains intact which is being dragged through the mud by modern feminism & it's multiple twisted definitions/interpretations ..
Equalism too can have multiple interpretations ( obviously ) but given the terminology , it is less likely to be horrid compared to modern feminism but at the same time working towards equality for all gender , race , caste , sexuality etc "on logical & rational grounds" ..
That being said , I do respect the feminism in its honest form , especially the history of feminism , a movement which was a necessity .. however , the evolution of feminism has not been to its advantage .. inclusion of things in a narrow concept restricted by its terminology itself has absolutely messed up the concept .. now everybody comes up with their own god-knows-what definitions.. as an equalist , I would still be a feminist in principle ( since gender equality is one of the basic tenets of the concept ) & more , minus the deranged horrid definitions/interpretations .. so my stand & conscience is crystal clear as far as I am concerned ..
If disagreement still persists , agree to disagree .. :)
