Feminism has
done much good to women folks,
but looking at it from another view it's destroying some well-defined cultural values, most women have a wrong understanding of feminism and
some write-up and post from some ladies look as if women are at war against the
men.
My own
definition of feminism is "having equal rights and opportunities with
the men". Although
the above definition is subject to criticism. Feminism in this light has
helped many women get out of the kitchen well not packing out completely but
helping them to achieve greater things outside cooking skills, women are doing
great in the education sector, they are creating an impact in different companies
with their ability and skills, thriving in the business sector and boosting
economy even the men will agree with me on these points. Despite the great exposure that feminism
has given to women, some women
still, have some fallacy about the concept of feminism which inturns
brought failure into so many relationships and marriages.
Equality as a tenet of feminism posits that relationship should be where two people work
together to achieve a common goal based on mutual desires but unfortunately
women who have gotten their feminist view of being always right, proud to say
sorry because they are at
equal with the man and has turned the relationship into having the last say in
all situation, being rude and disrespectful and having the "I don't care
attitude" as the new drama of being a feminist, fearless and strong woman.
They have become so independent that they forgot how relationships are built based on mutual understanding should work, they see the relationship as a
competition rather than
what it ought to be.
Feminism has
also increased the level of promiscuity, if he can cheats I can too, if
he sleeps around I can do the same if a man can go out to have a one night
stand I should do that too etc. Women are forgetting values, I am not
in support of men misbehaving but an eye for an eye will make the whole world
go blind, and if women keep encouraging promiscuity then where's the start of a
good relationship.
The wrong view Feminism, has been responsible for rampant divorce in our society today, I'm not talking about
women who are excessively abused, I am talking about the women who opt for
divorce because the man doesn't do the chores, being equal does not mean you
push your partner off the platform but to work together to create a better
relationship. Little misunderstanding and the solution is divorce because there
are folks cheering her on that she doesn't need to be controlled even if their idea of "being controlled" means probably the man wants something but she feels she's been pressured. Single ladies with a bad wave of feminism in
relationship treat men like a tool, experiencing multiple breakups and still wondered why they are single,
then at 40 they had visited every religious place to pray for a husband,
there's war in the heart of some women against the man that marriage has been
canceled from their plans.
QUOTE
Do not get
feminism wrong, do not support the bad wave of feminism, let equality be about
working together to create great relationships, to build a better economy, to
bring about great values, discipline and moral principles not pushing men off
the platform, to enslave them. (Eunice
Owa)
