They have to feel safe enough to be their strong, authentic selves. The next generation girls are proving braver, their supportive parents more accepting of their departure from the model of ideal womanhood. I think these are times of great confusion.

There responses were quite cold and defensive, making me feel guilty. I completely agree with whatever you have said, 'instead of shutting ourselves down, all of us should learn to take a compliment.' Its as much as an art as paying a good one. In the world of social media "Looking cool" "Beautiful pic dear" etc have remained as the acceptable compliments. God forbid if somebody takes their time in constructing a thoughtful and original paragraph to laude somebody's beauty or skills, people (mostly women) feel so embarrassed.<br /><br />Thank you again for this. But unfortunately I have stopped paying compliments to women lately. The only one I now compliment with my open heart, is my lovely wife.Swapnil N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14150306954466698524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400598449113149403.post-30914687519314054342016-08-25T13:35:00.808+05:302016-08-25T13:35:00.808+05:30Pretty much universal.Pretty much universal.Confessions of an ambitious motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130215843909551381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400598449113149403.post-29238201711376294722016-08-25T05:58:24.360+05:302016-08-25T05:58:24.360+05:30My fears exactly.My fears exactly.Geeta Santhoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237701150353836593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400598449113149403.post-76444653240455930502015-08-04T14:16:30.449+05:302015-08-04T14:16:30.449+05:30You are the best Fiction blogger I have know in In...You are the best Fiction blogger I have know in India.. http://www.fforfree.net/FforFreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882078698479073309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400598449113149403.post-91775315525900514402015-02-06T11:49:55.666+05:302015-02-06T11:49:55.666+05:30Many congratulations.

Feminism is a charged word, acknowledged to varying degrees depending on the user. It is true that many women themselves are averse to the militant form this movement has taken at times. I appreciate your heartfelt take. In time, some form of balance will emerge; things have changed so drastically in the past two decades.Sure, negotiation is more effective than confrontation. Meanwhile only the wearer can know where the shoe pinches. I feel bad about all the comments I accidentally deleted one day....there is one on this string too. I was actually wanting to clear the spam but ended up erasing an entire lot of feedback.

As most of the movements, it started as something born out of passion and oppression. But today what Feminism has turned into (Modern Feminism) is nothing more than a propaganda that demands superiority over the male counterparts. And that is why I believe in equality and not in any other movement for any gender. Male, Female and all the other genders that are out there deserve equal treatment and opportunities. <br /><br />But that doesnt mean I will not leave my seat for a lady or let the door slam in on the face of a girl walking behind me. Equality is one thing, but courtesy is another. Being polite and considerate to someone does not mean that you think of them as unequals. I believe my wife has got all the rights that I have, but still I would prefer to carry the bags myself while we are shopping, let her sit when there is only one seat available in the metro. I dont mind when I am out of money and she pays for all things or when I am busy and she has to travel all by herself from Gurgaon to Noida in the middle of the night. I know she is a strong person and can take care of herself, me and anyone else with her for that matter.<br /><br />What I dont like about today's feminism that it is becoming exactly what it was trying to abolish in the past. Today, according to modern feminists, we should accept that all the discrimination and abuse forced upon women is done by men; THIS is know for a fact is not true. I have seen women oppressing women more than the men of their family. Men set the patriarch rules, but its the women of the that household that make the girls remind how they are supposed to keep quiet and follow the rules and let the boys go about their business as they dont have any rules to follow.<br /><br />I believe that instead of feminism what we need today is a movement, where we teach our kids (especially girls) to QUESTION THE AUTHORITY. In fact, if you look back at the origin of the feminism, that is exactly what it gave birth to this movement. But now all we do is repeat after one another, "Women are pure creature. Men are evil!"<br /><br />My mother was born and raised in a patriarchal family where she wasnt even allowed to go on the roof or talk to any boy. However that same woman has taught me that only because I am a man does not make me a bigger deal than any woman. She keeps teaching the same thing to her grandchildren now (one boy and one girl). Now where did a woman who was raised in a strict conservative household, learn all this? She wasnt introduced with feminism? The answer is simple, she agreed to all the rules that her elder brother set for her, but decided not to compromise on her studies. After her marriage to my father, she expressed her desire to study further, to which my father 'agreed'. <br /><br />This one example and many others I saw in my life, assured me that we dont need feminism to being gender equality. But a good education for all and an environment where everyone is free to question the authority.Swapnil N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14150306954466698524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400598449113149403.post-38453713767307602332014-08-12T22:24:37.388+05:302014-08-12T22:24:37.388+05:30I appreciate your writing in.

She was/is not doing it for any medals or recognition. She doesn't want to do it so that she could get modelling contracts or become a face for a brand. She is doing it because this is what she believes she is supposed to do. Doesn't matter if she is sidelined due to the politics of the Indian Gymnastics, she doesn't care. The only thing she cares about it how good she could be. As a person who has been in that zone, I can totally relate to why she would cry watching videos of her idols. I do that time to time. <br /><br />And yes, when she leaves, please do scatter her ashes around that stadium. She is lucky that she has found a place she is in love with, I am still looking for that place of mine.<br /><br />PS: Ask her to not haunt the others when she is in the spirit form :)Swapnil N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14150306954466698524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400598449113149403.post-61091330572674807552014-06-01T21:16:09.625+05:302014-06-01T21:16:09.625+05:30Thank you Narinder Jit Kaur Ma'am.
