The overusage of the W-Card

                                                  Pseudo Feminism

• A few bad eggs spoil the basket, in this case, pseudo-feminism is a bad egg, and it tarnishes the true sense of feminism. If you pick up a dictionary, this is the meaning you're going to find for the word, Feminism: an ideology that promotes social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. Here I would like you all to emphasize the word ‘equal.' The definition indicates that there should be no discrimination against either sex.

In India, You are not allowed to look or say anything to a woman specifically when she is independent as she has her own social media handle, empowered and an influencer with more than 50,000 nincompoop followers who follows her only to see the half-naked pictures that she proudly uploads on social media in the name of freedom and equality.

They can’t influence people with their beauty, well work, intelligence, or anything that actually influences or empower women, like a real WOMAN.

• Hardly anyone on social media knows what feminism is about and they end up being pseudo feminists. Do pseudo-feminists really want equality? No, they want to create a world ruled by just women. A woman should get away with any wrongdoing? She shouldn’t just like a man shouldn’t. 

• A few days ago a girl on the bus calling herself a feminist didn’t give a seat to 70 years old man who was sick, now that is as worst as one can imagine. If this is feminism then one shouldn’t be feminist, but thankfully it’s not. Feminism is basically about equality and no judgment. People who actually understand feminism don’t carry this badge of being a feminist. These are those people who want their daughter to get a good education, support their companion if she wants to work in a different field.   

• There are women who love making food for their husbands; there are women who want to take care of their house and children more than a career. This doesn’t make them slaves; it’s up to them to decide what they want to do. “I will not cook because it is sexist!” is probably the worst statement and probably very popular amongst pseudo-feminist. 

• Another good example of pseudo-feminism is that the tax on wages is higher for women than it is for men. A woman earning up to 3, 00,000 - 3, 50,000 are excluded from paying taxes, as proposed by the Modi Government. If both men and women earn the same amount, then why should only men pay tax on it? Exceptions to the situation exist, but I firmly believe that if the true value of feminism is to be practiced, then equality must be taken into account. If a man pays tax on the same income that a woman often receives, a woman should also pay.

CONCLUSION: 

• We live in a physically and emotionally growing environment where men and women both need each other and are dependent on each other both physically as well as mentally(emotionally). The relationship between a male and a female shouldn’t be conjoined with ‘vs’ rather it should be with ‘and’.
