The no-picture article


After my last article (which was a bit of this and that) I’ve decided to give my full attention to ‘feminism’.
Traditionally and stereotypically feminists are considered to be tomboyish, who has less interest in beautifying herself. In my mind I have this image of short haired, bushy browed girl with a loud scruffy voice who lives in dirty check shirt and ripped denim. All thanks to the media.
But times have changed. Feminists nowadays do wear makeup, are trendy and has interest in beautifying herself. Feminists today portray the fact that feminism and fashion can blend well. You can be sexy, pretty and still be a feminist. My very definition of feminism is ‘doing things because you want to do not because men do’ and while this may sound little crazy I want its impression to be of independence and that’s what feminism is ‘Independence’.
 But again there are women who are trendy and fashion forward and who seems as ‘feminists’ but lacks that feminism quality in thoughts, morals and mannerisms. People may chant ‘do not judge a book by its cover’ but that’s the first thing they judge on to be honest. There’s nothing wrong in living on nursing the old morals and values as long as you don’t judge others according to your values. The old values include marriage/kids is a must for a women and without men you are incomplete (load of crap!). It's okay if you think that's important but don't just make or try to make it other's compulsion.
Talking about Fashion and Feminism, study shows that trend setters are little more independent than trend followers and I agree with that. Whilst trend followers ‘choose’ to adopt a fashion trend setters make their own (independence), and that’s cool!
