YOU DON'T CARE OF FEMINISM... YOU CARE ABOUT VIEWS Really???? Divija Bhasin you really need to rethink... This case is not about discrediting feminism but supporting EQUALITY. Atul Subhash's story shows the lack of accountability in judicial system. I advice you to change the tone of the way you present the case... it will help you next time. #justiceforSubhash

In this insightful video, we explore the distinctions between feminism and femininity, delving into the principles of Shakti to guide you in connecting with your feminine energy. Discover the profound journey of the feminine descent and rising within the body as you awaken to your authentic self.

Enter the term “toxic masculinity.” This phrase has become a cultural weapon, used to label anything traditionally masculine as harmful or problematic. Men who are assertive, decisive, commanding, or even protective are now being told their natural instincts are dangerous. In today’s world, men are often pressured to soften their edges, adopt more “feminine” traits like nurturing and emotional expressiveness — traits that society traditionally assigns to women. And yet, the very qualities that were once considered hallmarks of masculinity — strength, confidence, resilience, and emotional restraint — are now seen as flaws. But let’s stop and think for a moment: are these qualities really the problem? And when we say "toxic masculinity," are we truly addressing a societal issue, or are we attacking something far deeper — the design of manhood itself? #Blogpostoftheday #FeministNOT #EngageCulture #TheconservativeDr

Forgotten Taboos: A Glimpse into the Past Forgotten taboos are cultural or social practices that were once considered unacceptable or forbidden but have lost their significance over time. These taboos often reflect deeply held beliefs, values, or fears within a particular society. Why do taboos change over time? * Evolving societal norms: As societies evolve, so do their values and beliefs. What was once considered taboo may no longer be seen as problematic. * Increased cultural exchange: The globalization of cultures can lead to the erosion of traditional taboos as people become more exposed to different ways of life. * Technological advancements: Technological advancements can challenge traditional beliefs and practices. Examples of forgotten taboos * Premarital sex: In many cultures, premarital sex was once considered a major taboo. However, with changing societal attitudes, it has become more accepted in many parts of the world. * Interracial marriage: Interracial marriage was once illegal in many countries. Today, it is widely accepted in most parts of the world. * Women's rights: Women's rights were severely limited in many societies in the past. Today, women have significantly more rights and freedoms than they did in the past. The impact of forgotten taboos * Cultural heritage: Forgotten taboos can provide insight into the cultural values and beliefs of past societies. * Social change: The erosion of taboos can be a sign of social progress and can lead to greater equality and acceptance. Would you like to discuss a specific forgotten taboo or explore how taboos have changed in a particular culture?

Today, I’m drawing attention to the double standards of self-pride. We live in a society which often sends mixed messages about self-worth and confidence, praising some while condemning others for the very same traits. This hypocrisy undermines the essence of genuine self-respect and perpetuates inequality. Consider how we view men and women differently when they exhibit self-pride. A man who is confident and assertive is often seen as a leader, someone to be admired. Yet, a woman with the same qualities can be labelled as bossy or arrogant. The same goes for cultural and racial biases. Individuals from marginalised communities who proudly celebrate their heritage and identity might be accused of being overly sensitive or divisive. Meanwhile, similar expressions of pride from more dominant groups are often celebrated as patriotism or cultural appreciation. This hypocrisy is not just unfair; it's damaging. It sends a clear message: self-pride is a privilege reserved for some, not a right for all. This creates an environment where only certain people feel entitled to embrace and express their true selves, while others are shamed into silence. Breaking down these double standards starts with recognising them. Self-pride should be universal. It should not be determined by gender, race, culture, or any other factor. #selfpride #culture #barriers

Normalizing compassion for men. Not a popular invitation. ➡️ But a necessary one to create collective culture change. 🙏 Yesterday I attended a Compassion for men "Together space" hosted by Daniele Fiandaca and Lisa Barnwell. (Thanks again for doing this ❤️) It was refreshing to participate in a constructive dialogue on this issue, without: - Zero-sum thinking ❌ - #Whataboutism ❌ - Partisanship ❌ --- We talked about the barriers preventing #compassion for men to be perceived, performed, and what could be done to create change. --- Here is what I shared: 1️⃣ Narratives of Masculinity +> The hyperbolic cultural discourse on masculinity, focused on narratives about the most successful men and the most harmful men, misguides our perception of the lived experiences of the vast majority of men. +> Male disposability is the unfortunate blind spot of the gender conversation. --- 2️⃣ Decoupling Male violence from Male Pain +> Perceiving men solely through a lens of #privilege is dehumanizing. +> Framing gender dynamics solely through a lens of #power struggle is counterproductive. --- 3️⃣ Compassion for men benefits women +> When we humanize the lived experiences of men, outside of the lens of power and privilege, we unlock the possibility that they can struggle, and deserve support. +> When we unlock that possibility, we free the world from patriarchal narratives which traps men into the shameful silence of their own challenges. --- Here is the punchline: 🥊 The rightful outrage about male violence should not negate the rightful concerns for male struggles. --- ✍️ How do you show compassion for men? ♻️ Share this post if it brought you value

this video is a lesson on prepositions.

precisely this. Patriarchy has had effects on both genders. it is what gave birth to the concept of gender roles, wage gap, and also makes it difficult for people to overcome stereotypes and makes us more conservative and disapproving. I won't speak on womxn's experiences, but a patriarchal mindset is exactly what has made, and continues to make men's experiences trivial. It is the same society that shames a man for being a stay at home father, and it is the same society that limits fathers' involvement in the care, nurturing and growth of their children. Men's suicide rates are increasing annually, but we won't hear men actually talk about this- mainly because it runs contradictory to the usual approach we take of telling men to "man up" and movie lines like "mard ko dard nahi hota" embedded in our souls. feminism obviously began as a movement to uplift womxn and give them more rights, but there is no other global phenomenon that is more inclusive and intersectional. As every movement, the definition and values of Feminism have evolved BEYOND just women. The argument that feminism is the cause runs moot when you actually consider the fact that feminism has always worked to uplift ANYONE that is being oppressed. Whether it is the war in Palestine, or the BLM protests, feminist groups have had a strong presence. That being said, nobody's denying that there are not cracks in our system. To use a rather simple analogy, without equating it to anything or anyone, if you buy a barrel of apples, you'll find one or two rotten ones at the bottom. Does that mean the entire barrel's rotten? no. We need amendments, absolutely. Cases like this, Maanav from a few years back, it shows that there are, and always will be, elements that seek to misuse the rights we have. Our job is not to succumb to infighting but to rather fix what's broken. PS: there are a ton of allegations against atul as well that have surfaced as well, furthering the fact that not everything is black and white. Accountability where due is of the utmost importance. We saw this during the Amber Heard v Johnny Depp case as well.
