Recently an insane blogger put on the act of being naked in front of her sons with an objective of briefing them about the female body. It’s been wildly trending on social media and is being discussed in all lights.Few of our so-called Indian feminists didn’t miss the opportunity to draw comparisons between American and Indian societies and piggybacking the article to highlight the backwardness of Indian mothers in an attempt to sound cool and supposedly modern.

My comment:
As a woman of color living in the western world, I would like to inform you that feminism is a trap. It has done nothing good for the west that cannot be more accurately attributed to pluralism, secularism, and humanism. After suffrage, it had no use except to limit half the population’s freedom while letting the other run wild. It is simple collective punishment of men and vengeance on men, so don’t ever expect it to make any sense.
You will see more and more justification of the sexual and other abuse of boys in the name of feminism so long as it goes unchecked.
In addition to this, it is not the liberation of women, but only the upper class women. The rest of us scaffold their “liberation” with the sweat of our brow and the pain of our backs and feet. After all, one of its main goals is to replace beauty, femininity, and nurturing, with socioeconomic status. So those of us with, or due to color or caste, perceived as having lower status, will still be at the bottom, regardless of the gender of the monied.
I do not call myself a feminist since high school. I am an egalitarian humanist. I do not need the un-reality that gender is in some sort of vacuum outside of class. If you care at all for your sons, you would disassociate from that monster of western (read “white”) female over-entitlement as well.

Update May 2022: This is another article I wrote before I understood I am a maternal feminist/trans-inclusive womanist. I want people who currently think they are anti-feminists to consider the implications. Feminism has been used as a tool of colonialism almost since it hit the shores of the U.S. It has become so part and parcel with colonialism that the colonists themselves can’t even stomach the propaganda, thus the backlash against it.
It might take awhile for feminism to cut that cord. Elsewhere, it is just an unfortunate connection that too many, but not enough to completely derail us, seem a bit too into. They get checked often enough though. In the U.S. though, it is an umbilical cord.
