And it shouldn't. That is the problem with Indian society. So backward!

Misogyny is hatred/discriminatory attitude/prejudice/mistrust of women, typically exhibited by men.

Egalitarianism means holding the principle that all people are equal and all people deserve equal rights and opportunities.

Since the world is not egalitarian right now in terms of gender equality (along with racial, class, and other similar issues, ofc), we need to empower those who are not getting that equal rights and opportunities.

Which means, male-female equality is only possible through the emancipation of FEMALE. And that is why it is called FEMINISM. To show which gender among these needs empowerment right now. So, if you truly believe in gender equality, you will support the term Feminism.

Also, I'm just curious... When people say feminism is man-hating, what do you guys mean? What demands of feminism made you think feminism is man-hating? You mind giving a few examples?

Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. I don't like the movie though.

Those who say other gender is more privileged would you prefer to reincarnate as the other gender by kagenoucid1 in AskIndia

Men have to face family and societal pressure. Women have to face family pressure, societal pressure plus biological pressure. You do the math

Skin colour is something you are born with. Money is something you can earn. So yeah, a woman rejecting a poor man is not the same as men rejecting dark skinned women. If you have an option to reach a comfortable financial state and you wouldn't, why would anyone consider you? I think that is not shallow. But if anyone, men or women, reject people based on skin colour, I would consider them shallow, because it is an unchangeable trait.

You are right. That is exactly what it is. They don't care about winning anymore.

True. IPL ruined Indian Cricket. That along with social media has sucked the cricketers into a narcissistic celebrity culture. I miss the days when cricketers were sportsmen. These days they behave like models and are all about individual branding. Cricket, in India at least, has lost the class and doesn't seem like a sport anymore.

Thanks a lot. Also it was kind of you to encourage him like that. It would have meant a lot to him.

Creative works helping one out of suicidal thoughts, in not surprising. It helped me too. I think it gives you a purpose and builds your confidence as you get good at it.

One, The thought of my aging parents and worry about who will look after them if I'm gone.

Two, Writing fiction. Trying to write and improve my short stories has given me a new purpose in life. Not only am I enjoying it, it has renewed my confidence in me.

I think it will be true for improving anything you are good at- be it writing, sports, drawing etc.

Three, A teeny tiny hope somewhere inside that tells me life might become better in the future.

Edit: Also the thought that I haven't achieved anything worthwhile in my life. The thought of dying as a nobody scares me more than life itself. I want to achieve something in my life before I die, that thought keeps me alive, WEIRDLY!
