Opiniated: Why I'm not a Feminist

 Hello there Smartsouls! How have you been? I'm great as always.

In today's post, I will share why I'm not a feminist. Yes, I'm not.

Disclaimer: Before you guys jump into the screen to get me, hear me out. Read this post completely. I'm open to hearing you out, but, but, but, I'm not open to any arguments nor to change my opinion. Specifically about feminism.

Today we are talking about modern feminist and modern feminism.

Usually, opinionated blog posts are about my opinion and not based on any statistics, but this one is an exception. Because my opinion was created based on the statistics and research I have done.

So let's get started:

Feminism started off great. It focused on the right to vote, equal paychecks, the right to go to work, to education. Now that these issues are being taken care of, modern feminists are looking for issues to complain about. This, according to a few, is to generate and raise funds. Which makes sense.

Feminism according to social media also means being independent. But I'm proud to say I'm not independent nor do I wish to ever be. I'm interdependent. That doesn't make sense, does it?

Consider this scenario, you had a little free time so you, being a good child, asked your mother whether she wants your help. And mother being a mother says that she doesn't. You already know where this is going. But later she complains or tells that she has to do everything alone, and no one helps her. 

Nobody told you to do it, help is available. But you still want to do it and complain or rather brag about it. Now do the puzzle pieces sit right?

Another idiotic thing that this peer-pressure campaign feeds us is, for instance, a 21 years old girl, who completed high school or something, decides to get married and be a housewife. You will bombard her with saying "you are still very young, you have to create a career, learn, get a degree, etc." You look down upon her.

It's her choice. I'm not talking if she is forced but if she herself feels that she is ready, then why are you guilt-trapping her? We have imposed torture on ourselves. You expect a girl to have big dreams and don't think about the marriage. We are forgetting marriage is a necessity. It is meant to happen, stop dodging reality and give up living delusional lives

Again, think of the oldest feminist you can, and ask yourself, "do you think she's happy?" There are some old feminists who aren't married, are childless and unhappy, with millions of money sitting in their accounts. Or do you think buying a premium brand bag will make you happy?  Just get old with money, and use that money to buy pills to be happy. There was also an old lady around 52 years old who said she shouldn't have fallen into this feminism scam. 

Alpha is inherently a masculine trait, and there is no such thing as an alpha woman. It's just a masculine woman. That's that.

Considering masculinity toxic is another toxic thing. Having masculinity is the basic component of a man. I think there must be masculinity in men, that's what makes us respect them. They have to assert dominance so that they can protect their family. Again I'm talking at a basic level, not the extreme forms, which is a psychological problem. 

Adding to the previous para, they want men to be vulnerable like it's okay for men to cry. And I agree, politically. Have you ever seen your dad cry? The first hero of your life? Okay let me give in another example, suppose you and a man are walking on the street and a robber jumps out of nowhere, and the man with you starts crying? What would you do?

Let's see the same situation with a little change, now if the man you are with grabbed the robber and beat him up, now how would you feel? With whom will you feel safer? Don't come at me saying that we can protect ourselves. No hell you can't. Because men are stronger than an average women, statistically speaking. There are a few exceptions but they had to train to get to that level.

Men have life in easy mode. Really do you believe it? Norah Vincent, a feminist who disguised herself as a man for 2 years to prove that men had an easy life. She dropped the act within 18 months. She published a book, "Self-made man", talking about her experience. Later she ends her life due to the psychological scars of how difficult it is to be a man, by how she was treated, when she was disguised as a man, by other women.  

If you have ever noticed the whole thing, it just tries to make us delusional and self-centered. I read a long time ago about a woman who left her family to travel around the world with her friends, leaving her children in her friends'/relatives' care. Because she was independent and didn't want to sit at home and bake cookies. Bruh seriously?

To sum everything up, I believe women and men have their own individual roles. A women's role is to make a home, and men's role is to provide for and protect the family. If a woman wants to pursue her passion, and create her future, she can do it, but after fulfilling her duties. Set priorities.

These were just the tip of the iceberg. Deep down it's messy. 

See you all soon.
