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!
Good work! However would love to read more on this topic:)
