There is developing a new type of feminism that is rightly called pseudo-feminism. Pseudo-feminists have a deep desire to remedy all the injustices inflicted on women, often by lashing out and demeaning at men. What they forget is the fundamental essence of the movement towards feminism: equality. Another form of pseudo-feminism is comfort feminism. We often don't realize it, but pseudo-feminism is all around us, clandestinely hiding behind feminism. The women are crying everywhere for fair rights, but don't waste a minute telling a guy sitting on a Ladies Reserved seat to vacate it.

If true feminism were followed, then all of the victims should be treated equally. Victims would cease to be male or female but only victims of abuse. But this is sadly not the case. Pseudo-feminism shouts that men can not be raped, that men can not be tormented, and that men who claim to have been placed under such atrocities lie in cheats. When a woman is set on fire, when she is raped, brutalized, stripped naked on the streets, forced to leave her studies to marry a man three times her age, when she is accused of being raped or teased when a woman is repeatedly beaten for refusing to pressurize her parents to pay a dowry when she is deemed to be inferior to her male counterparts, there is a need to speak out if it was a man who was stoned on the streets, raped, accused of a fake rape, doubted just because he was a man, a true feminist will do the same. As Gloria Steinem rightly said, a feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.

Now it's you to decide if you are a Feminist or a Pseudo-Feminism.
