Feminism started out as a revolutionary idea, promoting equal rights for women but soon started getting more hate than support, especially from Indian men, and we can see why.
Feminism may be the need of the hour in India, but the way it has been interpreted by the so called ‘feminists’ speaks a whole new language. Women need to understand what feminism really is about, as much as us men. Because the way they’re dealing with it is causing more harm than good.
Feminism may be a noble concept, but what matters, eventually is the way it is being carried out. Here are 10 ways in which some Indian women have totally ruined feminism for everyone in the country.
1. The fight for equality goes for a toss the moment a woman demands reservation. Yes, they’ve been oppressed for ages. Yes, they don’t have equal rights yet. Yes, they’re not safe but by taking the reserved seat in public transport, they’re only alienating themselves even more from men.

The reserved seat doesn’t make men respect a woman, it instead sends out a message that she is weak, incapable and incompetent. We all understand why pregnant women, physically challenged and old people need reserved seats – they’re physically weaker, more vulnerable (for the lack of better words) than the rest of us. But there’s no reason why a woman needs to be given a reserved seat or a whole coach in the Delhi metro.
A stronger security system instead makes so much more sense. We need to teach men how to stay with women, not staying away from them.
2. There’s a way of saying everything. The more you shout the less you’ll be heard. And, that’s exactly where a lot of feminists have gone wrong.
The only way we can make people understand the importance and relevance of women empowerment in the country is by discussion, not by shutting them nastily on social media.

The so called ‘feminist’ outburst has been so aggressive lately; most people don’t even consider discussing women empowerment and thus, opening their minds towards it isn’t a good idea anymore, for the fear of being targeted.
We need to make people realize how patriarchal they are in their mindset, even if subconsciously, but with convincing arguments, not insults.
3. One of the main reasons why a lot of men don’t find feminism a genuine ‘revolution’ is because a considerably large amount of women who identify themselves as feminists switch sides as per their convenience.
