A Feminist?!!

A Feminist?!!

Oh, so you are a Feminist?
Feminist? Really?!!
Why so biased?
Why so radical?
Concerns are many, but none concerned about the stuff that mattered.

Don't you think it's Hypocritical?
Feminism is biased towards women, but you stand for Equality
And I see the ignorance behind the condescending smirks.
"Feminism is championing the Feminine", I try…
Haha, what else is feminine if not Women!

"Physical strength needn't define respect", a feeble attempt
to clamp down the champions of Equality between Equals
"Yeah okai"
Oh. Fine

Not really, we respect women. We are not chauvinists.
But what business do women have
On the streets and workplaces?
(Just a genuine doubt, no?)
Women of class are the ones that are not crass,
The ones who comply, the ones who are selfless.
Look at my Mother.

Yes. Your Mother.
Ever bothered to find out if she wanted to be walled in the "homes"?
She could be selfless because of peer pressure too, you see?
The pressure cooker needn't be the only thing seething under its struggles,
Your mother's mind can also be a pressure cooker, you see?

You know when the pressure ousts?
When she sees the daughters and sons raised right.
Who stands up for what is right.
Who goes right, when the world yells "she's left!!".

Then the pressure ousts, the whistle of realisation surges forth.
Realisation.
Limitations stretched without bounds, could be defied.
She could be her First Priority, without being Guilty.


That's when Realisation leads to Liberation and a Feminist is created.
