“A true feminist is a person who believes in the power of women just as much as they believe in the power of anyone else.” ~Zendaya
As we are developing as a world and as a society, there’s still a lot to improve in terms of our internal mindsets. As a society, we are still not able to get rid of toxic mentalities including prejudices, fake feminism, misogyny… well the list goes on.
Well indeed, this is a fact that everyone is not the same. But it is also a well said phrase, “One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel.” It is never the entire community, but some stupid people who bring shame to the rest.
We have always heard the history of male chauvinism in the society and how the women were suppressed. Several horrifying stories of dowry deaths, molestation, domestic violence, etc. are there to demand the need for justice and humanity.
So, the laws were constructed accordingly and afterwards, some women came out with the mentality to exploit them according to their interests. Maybe that’s the reason why some poor women are not trusted when they voice out against the wrong.
Filing fake dowry cases making someone’s life miserable, fake domestic violence cases just to suppress someone, just to be the dominant one or to extract huge sums of money is not just a criminal offence, but also, unethical and inhumane.
Several cases emerge where the partner commits suicide or undergo depression when they can’t pay that amount. Your greed for money or power is definitely not worth someone’s life.
Your threats to someone of fake molestation accusations, domestic violence, etc. can impact the lives of those, who are actually in the need for justice.
Newton’s third law states, “to every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.”
If you want the righteous, you also need to serve the righteous.
Remember, “feminism seeks gender equality, not female superiority.”
