Point is side effects of feminism....biased judiciary, education, socio economic structure- reservations, custody, alimony, subsidiaries, laws, politics, property matters etc....whenever you start a movement you benefit a section of society while demeaning others....
Before I wasn't in all this but when I got to know how men suffer in the process it felt really weird...
Feminism is not a disease with side effects. The issue lies in the fact that our society has always been patriarchal. When women demand their legitimate rights, some men act as though they're being horrifically wronged in the process.
Education? Even today, girls and women are still denied access to education in many parts of the world.
Property rights? Did you know that, in some communities, a man receives 50% of his father's property while a womanāespecially if she's marriedāis only given 25%?
Laws? How many men are actually prosecuted for eve-teasing, sexual harassment, rape, abuse, or domestic violence? Should I start listing all the crimes committed against women simply because some men believe they have the right to dominate someone they perceive as weaker?
Politics? Just look at the numbersāmen vastly outnumber women in positions of power. And if there werenāt any reserved representation, thereās a good chance women would be excluded entirely. Because, of course, men know best, right?
@B ā Since you brought up alimony, letās talk about that.
I canāt speak confidently for India, where the judicial system often fails women, but in the U.S., thereās something called community property. This means that assets earned during marriage belong equally to both spouses.
If a couple divorces, the husband may be required to pay alimony from these shared assets to help his ex-wife become self-sufficient. If he's significantly more affluent, it's only fair that his contribution reflects that. He's not giving it away to charity or doing his ex-wife a favour fgs. And letās not ignore the fact that plenty of husbands lie in court to reduce the amount they have to pay.
And yes, women pay alimony too. If sheās the one earning more, courts can and do make her pay. That partās conveniently left out of most arguments.
Also? Plenty of women waive alimony altogether. But when someone does take it, it doesnāt mean theyāre gold-digging or out for their husband's money. It means the law recognizes the need for support after a marriage ends. Thatās it.
If you feel feminism is something that favours women more than men, that's your perception but not necessarily the truth.
