Dear feminists, stop complaining about…

Dear feminists, stop complaining about…

My dear gentle friends, you deserve a big shout out for being a feminist (this includes men too, of course).  This post is meant to acknowledge you, show my love and care for you, but hold on! Here are a few things you need to stop whinging about: Please don’t forget that I really love you for the hidden feminist in you but it’s time to bring that out. Mwah!

Here you go –

1. Liking rough sex: I am not favoring the concept of 50 shades of gray. That was pure objectification of women, according to me. But there is nothing wrong with a girl liking rough sex. Like when your guy takes control over you after your consent and fucks you really hard, till you say ‘STOP’. Well, I am neither a feminazi nor am I setting any women empowerment movement since 20 years but hey, you should consider this. If a guy can enjoy rough sex, so can a woman. Get over it!

2. The so-called disparity in the pay gap: I haven’t experienced it or heard women around me say that a man gets highly paid for the same work that she does with the same skill and potential. Really! I won’t believe in it till I hear it and see it.

3. Men’s Rights Activists/ supporters: Bashing men who support men’s rights ain’t any feminism. You need to remind yourself: ‘Feminism is about equal rights.’ If you do not support equal rights, don’t brag yourself to be a feminist.

4. Slut-shaming: If a guy flirts, we call him a stud and if a girl flirts, we call her a slut. And ladies and gentlemen, the problem lies within all of us who call woman a slut without knowing what it means. But you feminists, stop exaggerating things and calling a non-relative conversation as slut-shaming.

5. Privilege: You must stop grumbling about the privileges you wish to get as a woman like breaking queues, extra discounts, somebody opening the car gate for you; it just won’t do! Remember as you said, ‘You are a feminist. Equal rights for all, sweety!

6. Women criticizing other women: Ever experienced middle-aged or old aunty’s coming up to you and saying, ‘You are a woman, behave like one’? This is gross! Aunties, please stop it, right away! Also, stop saying that you favor women if you don’t! In a world where feminism has become a fashion, everybody wants to be in the front row. We understand your lust for being in the limelight but non-logic is very annoying. Stop doing that & stop thrashing the image of a real feminist who is here to make this world a better place.
