Hello readers !😃
I recently came across a video that provoked me to write on DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Since we rarely go out nowadays it is needless to say that these are the only ways in which we can ameliorate our thought process and stay updated.😌
I feel there are two classes of people, there's one class where conversations about feminism going too far take place, and in the other one ahh... is the one with domestic violence, obviously this one isn't the only one with domestic violence but it's maximum in here.
Anyways these two topics aren't spoken about together but I call them opposites...the exact opposites.
One talks about women's rights and the other one about disdaining them and their rights...I am aware that there is domestic violence against men too...but hey! It's rare.
When I used the word classes I meant groups divided not on the financial basis or intellectual basis but based on their understanding towards women.
Where one class is keen enough that none of the women's rights are violated, the other one is still worried about their safety rather not ready to accept that women have lives too.
Whenever such blogs and articles are written and documentaries made, they are not seen by the right people (the people who still believe that women are subject to their father and husband )....hello it's the 21st century
I know I haven't seen enough, haven't come across a lot of perspectives and opinions...in short, I am not experienced enough ......this is what adults say to shut the teenage voices up and then flex about the experiences they've had and perspectives they've heard, but if they are unwilling to listen to our opinions they haven't seen all the sides of a problem because one-fifth of the population is us.
There's still one class where domestic violence is common in every house.
And I have a lot to talk about feminism....I believe that feminism hasn't gone too far but it's not completely ineffective too....it has made a lot of changes in society but the problem is the distribution of its understanding in people.
To be clear enough....I feel feminism has been like the green revolution,it has helped some parts of the society but the remaining parts aren't willing to accept it or I would say the topic hasn't even reached them.
The green revolution helped northern India to develop just because they were ready to accept it as a means of development....same way some classes made an effort and got the result.
For women to come up and speak up we need to make this clear that violence against them is a men's issue and not their fault as said by an American writer of a very famous writing- The Macho Paradox.
I believe that in India this issue is being normalized and justified by a lot of people. People here raise slogans and start rallies against deaths due to dowry and sexual assaults, which I believe are very serious issues and yet it's too late to talk about them. These people would never believe that domestic violence i.e even a slap is a crime too. I get a bit too sentimental and of the heart about a slap thinking that a girl with or without any dreams leaves her own family and home to stay with a known or an unknown man out of love or compulsion by the society, creates rather procreates a family for him, takes care of his parents and...gets a slap in return. Could there be any valid reason for a this slap...?. Usually, when this issue is taken into consideration and put forward not just men but even some women regard it as needless and nugatory. It is because they find it common in every household. And women anticipate that it is shameful to talk about it openly as they are worried about their husband's prestige.
SHAME, SILENCE AND SECLUSION - KILLS!
Except for reading some books and case studies, I tried to minimalize my research in order to keep my opinions my own.

On point!
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you compared feminism with Green Revolution. And yes! There is a lot of awareness now being raised(which has been effective,no doubt) but that awareness has possibly not reached to the people who really need to understand that. But it's good to know that many men support feminism nowadays ❤️
Thank you for taking out your time 😊
