Feminism , the trendy belief in the social and political equality of the sexes. Originated in west , acquired by the world . Manifested by various institutions committed to activity on behalf of women’s right and interest.

The whole idea was a revolution for those women who were being suppressed ,objectified ,ignored , victim of the male dominated society.(source: Indian English Literature department).Since this world ever been created , very few tribes and cultures ever respected women in the way they are. With the passage of time , the idea became so dominant and central concern of society that it lost its initial focus of equality in both individual and collective aspects.

Unlike Virginia Woolf and Simone De Beauvoir , not every feminist talk about the equality among two sexes.

It might seem easier to spot the old dominant idea and then vigorously to reject it .But then, rejection is only exchanging positive domination for negative domination and instead of weakening the dominant idea it may even strengthen it.

A major confusion is that FEMINISM doesn’t stand for female domination but the PARTNERSHIP between a men and a women.

A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.

Our media is full of negative influence which affects a wide society. matter-of-fact , our youth is not weak and they don’t even listen to anyone. Few years back we had serious issues like power struggle, freedom , access to the education and this list goes on and on. But today, when we are trying to eliminating these problems through public awareness, it showcased its side-effects . Every other woman, (including me) thinks that every man wants to dominate them. We have internalized this so well that now we are thinking of only one thing, which is to prove that girls are not inferior to Boys.

Now, the question arises in my head is so baffling .Why do we even need to prove that ?? Girls and boys are two branches of a tree, both has their own roles to play and i am strictly not saying anything about gender roles..!!! Roles which are given to you by yourself. Your roles should be goals . This is to everyone ! Boys, girls, gays and lesbians. Go and ask yourself why and what are you doing for yourself ? Those who say that this isn’t your task or try to bound you…well, just smack out them on their face and say “it’s time to update yourself !! ” because hypocrisy holds no gender.

..gender relationships, which are tough for people to deal with, are key to whether a society orients to domination or partnership in all its relations.
