Is Feminism Bad? by mikeycharles(m): 12:55pm On Jun 21, 2017 |
[center]Is Feminism bad?[/center] Feminists, do they really exist? Yes they do, over the years the meaning of feminism have been defined by so many people, some see it as a threat towards marriage, some see it as gender equality. But in the Nigerian what is it really seen as; some view it to be an embittered spinster who takes out her “anger” on men. First of all what is the definition of a feminist, well according to Chimamanda Adichie during one of her TED talks (Why we should all be feminists) viewed it as a person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes. The word “person” has been highlighted, notice there is no male or female, just a person, implying that a man can also be a feminist. There have been pleas for marriage equality, gender equality, food equality (just kidding) etc. Celebrities such as Beyonce, Cher, Madonna etc. have a created a niche for themselves in the entertainment sector even as proclaimed feminists and have succeeded in their careers. A feminist doesn’t mean you should be disrespectful to men or even to fellow women, the fight for gender equality differs from society to society, I could remember Hilary Clinton during an interview saying that there was a time women were not allowed to make use of a credit card, but things have changed. Another example is Nicki Minaj, a rapper who have been dominating the rap game for years, the rap which is mainly dominated by males have now been “overseer” by a woman, how did that happen? Did she literally kill all the men in the industry? A familiar example is our own Chimamanda Adichie who is married and still remains a feminist. In conclusion, despite how the society tries to conform women to a particular standard different from that of their male counterparts, a person (both male and female) should not allow that to limit herself/himself from succeeding, grab hold of opportunites and become great, explore your talents , be fearless and the sky won’t just be your limit but a mere stepping stone.
