<p><br/></p><p>Feminism at its core is the belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. It seeks to dismantle the systems that favor one gender over the other—not to create a reverse imbalance.</p><p><br/></p><p>However, in modern discourse, some expressions of feminism have shifted from seeking equality to asserting dominance—often unintentionally. This is where the meaning becomes distorted.</p><p><br/></p><p>🧠The Misunderstanding: Rebellion vs Liberation</p><p><br/></p><p>Many women, in the name of feminism, end up rebelling against men rather than liberating themselves from patriarchy. There’s a big difference.</p><p><br/></p><p>❌ Example 1: "I don't need a man."</p><p><br/></p><p>While independence is powerful, declaring that all men are unnecessary as a mark of strength turns feminism into bitterness. True feminism is the freedom to choose dependence or independence without shame.</p><p><br/></p><p>> Correct Feminism: “I can stand on my own if I want to, and I can choose partnership if I desire—without society dictating my worth.”</p><p> Example 2: Work vs Homemaking</p><p><br/></p><p>Many women feel that choosing to be a housewife is "anti-feminist." But true feminism supports agency, not just ambition.</p><p><br/></p><p>> A woman who becomes a CEO is not "more feminist" than a woman who chooses to raise her children full time.</p><p><br/></p><p>True feminism uplifts both choices, because both are valid. It’s about respecting autonomy, not ranking lifestyles.</p><p><br/></p><p>🗣️ Example 3: Silencing Men</p><p><br/></p><p>Some women feel that feminism means that men should not speak in feminist spaces. But this contradicts the idea of equality and collaboration.</p><p><br/></p><p>Imagine fighting for gender equality but silencing the other gender—it becomes exclusionary, not empowering.</p><p><br/></p><p>> True feminism invites men into the conversation as allies, not enemies.</p><p>Feminism is Not a Costume, It's a Compass</p><p><br/></p><p>Feminism is not about adopting a "strong woman" aesthetic, bossing people around, or rejecting softness.</p><p>It's about having the freedom to define strength on your own terms, whether that’s in heels or combat boots, in an office or a nursery, leading a protest or writing poetry.</p><p><br/></p><p>The misuse of feminism often stems from pain or reaction, not clarity. But when we pause and remember that feminism is not about women beating men at their own game, but changing the rules of the game entirely, the meaning becomes clear again:</p><p><br/></p><p>Feminism is not the fight to become superior. It’s the journey toward balance, dignity, and choice.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
