Feminism : A process to achieve Gender Equality or Domination?

Feminism

A process to achieve Gender Equality or Domination?

Nowadays, people have assumed that both these terms have the same meaning. However, they don’t understand how these terms convey their meanings. In an ideal world, people would need Gender Equality which would give all the genders equal rights in everything, including transgender people, who are remarkably ignored while talking about Gender Equality. Now it’s the time we all understand the difference between these both terms and decide which we want to choose and head with.

What is Gender Equality?

Gender Equality, as the term literally means, is a state where all the genders (not only men and women) are treated equally, with giving them equal rights. The laws for genders should also be equal so that they could defend themselves equally.

Nowadays, women rights have been raised so high that laws have been bent toward a specific gender, which is preventing another gender from defending itself, even if it is right. Not all people of all genders are good. If there are terrible men, then there are terrible women too. When you give powers to certain category of people, the bad ones would try to misuse it to achieve their own selfish goals. It is fact. However, these biased law are influenced by feminism, not by gender equality.

What is Feminism?

Feminism literally means to favour feminine gender, which apparently means to favour woman. If you think that Gender Equality and Feminism mean the same, you’re wrong. Now you must be wondering why. Because, Gender Equality is our goal, not the process. On the other hand, we are using Feminism as a process to achieve our goal of Gender Equality.

Apparently, for last many years, people have been feeling that the wold is cruel to women, which is causing them to suffer a lot. That may be true, we don’t deny that. And for that reason, people have seen an inevitable need to establish feminism and support it so that it could raise woman empowerment from feminine perspective, and eventually, we will reach our goal of Gender Equality. Feminism is being used as a process for Gender Equality.

You must have seen men favouring Gender Equality instead of Feminism, and most of you would be wondering why.

Why men favour Gender Equality instead of Feminism?

Initiatives like Feminism look worthy when they are approached. However, such initiative should have some limits that could prevent misuse of the concept. Apparently, Feminism does not have any limits. Presuming by the current scenario, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Feminism would be used as domination power once we have reached our goal of Gender Equality. Such initiatives could be initiated, but to stop them at their predetermined destination is hard. Because the people who have always been supporting Feminism, would insist to keep it in order to keep balance in society. In future if we achieve Gender Equality through Feminism, Feminists would like to follow the concept in order to keep the situation that way.

However, when you overuse something, it takes the shape of horror. Feminism has vast chance of being dominating power. And then in the name of democracy, people would ask for men empowerment in order to achieve balance once again, and that would eventually cause domination once again. And this cycle will never stop.

That is the common difference between Feminism and Gender Equality, which you must keep in mind before declaring that you’re supporting this and that. We are not stopping you from supporting either of these things. It completely depends on you. But if you want to achieve the real goal, you must think before you act.
