Not just a hashtag💫 |Deepsikha Roy|

In this world of social media where people are more into hashtags and less into reality, the word "karma" is used as a response to stimuli for all the huge controversies. No matter whether you have a strong point to hold or not, you can easily get excused by this big word.

Another big word which hits the hashtag of social media is "feminism". When it comes to this big word, "karma" too plays a crucial role. Before we get much into this, take a minute to ask yourself that what is the defination of feminism in your dictionary?

Okay, hope you are done. Now, lets know briefly how the words karma and feminism are twinlike. If we start from the early nineteenth century, we will get to know about the patriarchy that has existed in the society. Women were just considered as an object of sexual pleasures and a body to be inbound in the kitchen. They did not get any right to education, property and employment. They were demeaned from men by the conformist community in every field. All these worst scenarios in the history have summed up the word 'feminism' which is an advocacy of women rights on the field of equality of genders. It is a stand against the male chauvinist society that has existed in the past.

I hope, now you have a little idea why I used the term ''karma''. It is the visualization of your future on the basis of your actions in the past and so the society is now facing the outcomes of how they have treated women earlier. If you too are a feminist, you should know the fact that feminism is all about empowering women and not about demeaning men. What men can do, women too can perfom and vice versa. One cannot exist without the other. We can get empowerd by two ways, one by raising our own standards amid others, or just by mortifying and demeaning others from us. 

 

If you are a feminist and follow the second one, you should be very clear that your position is exactly where you stood before. You just detoriated others, but you yourself did not rise anyway. This is exactly what the misogynist society followed in the past. They just degraded women from men and now you know the result.

In the name of feminism, Stop abashing the entire men polity for some of the lousy men breathing on the planet.  Not all men are molester and not all women are moral. 

Don't make feminism just another word for female chauvinism. If it continues the same, the upcoming century is not too far where karma will surely hit us again and seek for justice, but this time for men. Before using the word in your hashtag, cultivate and understand the real meaning first. Follow equality, not echo.
