A stray on Woman, Feminism, and Fleabag.
On every 8 march, women all gathered to celebrate the day of women’s achievements, and bring awareness about women’s equality.
Sometimes, I had these thoughts.
A woman who claims to be a feminist. They never look sad, depressed, cry, confused, or dense. They always seem independent, tough, cool, badass, ambitious, intelligent, and always angry, resentful, holding a grudge, and bitter. Have you ever thought about it before?
I was born in a male-dominated family, and since I was in childhood there were always many boys who could easily be playing and talking to me. When I was at home, I always treated as a girl who had to wear pink clothes, acted gentle, calm, obedient, and always did domestic housework while still going to school. I never knew what I was doing. Fortunately, that thing made me good at multitasking, doing many chores at the same time while fact that doing the job all at once is “Miserable”. You find it difficult to focus on a certain point, or a certain moment, so you can lose something and never feel satisfied with what you’re actually doing. Maybe life survival has to be like that huh? I don’t know. The question is the same as “Why is the writer called an artist?” Yes, it is an art. Whereas all science researchers must also have to be able to write, even better than the Writers. Again, I don’t know.
Women are born from women, men are born from women. Why do women’s rights defenders who belong to gender equality defenders (feminists) sometimes like to look very pushy?
I was amazed by this one-stand woman series that phoebe waller-bridge produced herself. It gave me the power that I never thought I knew it’s all about feminism. I saw the perspective that the needs of men and women have the same capacity. But that’s not really the case. sometimes living in a patriarchal culture/prioritizing men culture, there are cases where sometimes there is an understanding that women and men need each other. for example, work with the brain at the same time as the heart. Thinking logically in line with thinking from feelings (empathy) and yes to live as a woman is indeed difficult, as well as men.
The word feminine may be more directed towards femininity, which most people stigmatize as being gentle, understanding, friendly, and graceful. but have you ever thought that this movement sometimes creates things that don’t need humanism logically, demonstrations to stop a war by drawing a flag on the chest, brutally bare chest in front of the Eiffel tower for example? It also didn’t stop a researcher from building bombs, nor did the war declarator say stop suddenly while the missiles were on the way to the target. I am not against it, but sometimes all actions have consequences, Newton’s first law.
p.s these thoughts were written in a diary book in the kitchen cuz my room was dark af
