‘Feminist, someone who believes in the social, political equality of the sexes’, Chimamanda.
So
back to the matter at hand, Feminists! I actually thought they were a group of
sexually frustrated women whom the men in their lives have driven into lesbianism
and complete hatred for the male race.
Till I got to realise that men could be feminists, a married woman with
children can also be a feminist just like Beyoncé or Chimamanda.
Feminist
simply believe that women have the same rights as men, simple isn’t it? People
still do believe that feminist can’t be girly or own their sexuality. I believe
that a woman can still go to work, pick up the kids and give your husband a lap
dance while cooking; God didn’t give us the multitasking gift for nothing. Feminists
have evolved over the years, just like the human race. I say this because, once
upon a time, black people didn’t have the same rights as white people, they
were slaves who were beaten up, molested, raped and even killed by white men.
Jews were being killed in the most horrific ways imaginable to mankind and were
almost wiped out of existence, entire race and yet we’re here.
I do
think that some women are taking the feminist thing a bit too far. I watched
two or three episodes of the L word and I asked myself, BUT WHY! It’s was
obvious to me that the writers of the TV show are women who had bad
relationships with men and have decided to deceive themselves into thinking
that they do not need men. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a feminist too, I don’t
think I’m an independent woman, I’d just rather call myself an interdependent
woman. I don’t believe that men were created to just provide sperm to make
children, neither are they as useful as battery powered dildos.
We
were created to coexist, to grow together, and to develop. The bible says, “He
who finds a wife finds a good thing” and I believe she who finds a husband
finds an awesome being. The economic theory, comparative advantage, explains
coexistence and interdependence clearly. It refers to the ability of a party to
produce a particular good or service at a lower marginal or opportunity cost
than another even if one party has absolute advantage, i.e. more efficient in
the production of all goods than the other, both parties will still gain by
trading with each other, as long as they have different relative efficiencies.
So why assume a role you know don’t belong to you simply because the society
has assigned that role to you.
Even
though we are equal and the same like the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We are given
special gifts, purposes and abilities that would be helpful not just to
ourselves but the society at large
So
let’s coexist, knowing fully well that our levels of importance are equal, no
matter your sex.
