How to become a Feminist?
Happy New Year everyone.
A reader writes in to ask how she could become a feminist.
What kinda feminist, sister?
There are the real ones that actually take some action (like yours truly in this video) and there are some who just like to wear the feminist-tag (like yours truly again). He he!
First, here's a question: Why would you want be known as a feminist? Let's examine the political correctness of the need for such a word. In an era when we are pushing for an inclusive society where even the differently-abled are treated with the same sort of respect as anybody else (the larger idea being that one should NOT discriminate between the abled and the differently abled) why discriminate between men and women? Men and women are no different from each other right? They are? You mean men and women are built differently, think differently and may have different sensibilities? Exactly!
If you still don't get the point, here's a simple do-it-yourself towards becoming a feminist.
First, believe you have balls between your legs. Tell yourself that women and men are the same. Since you are out to prove men and women have exactly the same tastes, you could take up smoking, drinking, pornography, scratching your crotch, boob-watching and wanking. Feel free to participate in fist fights or feel virile (read HORNY) all the time because most men believe it's a sign of machismo.
Second, burn the bra. Do sun-bathing the way men do, you don't need to shave your chest or armpit hair. As an added bonus, you get to keep the moustache and the beard.
Do you now feel you have become equal to men?
And why not? Because, sisters, EQUAL is not the same as the word SIMILAR. Maturity lies in embracing the differences with mutual respect. And not by fighting like women are the weaker sex in need of liberation.
True liberation is when YOU believe you are an equal. Not by trying to convince the world that you can do everything men can do. Because, men never try to convince the world that they can do everything that women can do. They don't sulk that they don't get periods or push for pregnancy rights.
