FEMINIST
What is a feminist?
Who is a feminist?
A feminist would probably either go beserk with rage or she would laugh out aloud...
A feminist is known as a champion of women's causes
Is she really now? The sceptic may enquire
A feminist truly must be the "real woman" representing womanhood, the faithful will wail loudly!
Is it merely a term, coined to cause anger to some but victory and virtue to many?
Should a true woman hide behind a 'term'?
Does it not symbolise "the hiding" she's been doing throughout since time immemorial...through force and her own volition? Because of religion, fear and fashion?
Need a woman conform to a mere word just to justify something meaningful? or worst still to garner publicity, clothed as 'plight' to simply gain popularity?
Feminism should go beyond worthless words...and rise in glory, celebrating the uniqueness of being female
The special qualities which can bring much change to humanity
Feminism should be construed positively both by the advocate and the observer!
A feminist should not stray...she must strive for her 'sisters'; to have a better tomorrow
To clear the mist which has long "clogged" outdated thinking
To provide perspectives to be 'female' yet move the world
Practising feminism should benefit all living beings
Potraying feminism must create awareness
Projecting feminism has to bring about peace among people
Thus being a feminist is much more than adhering to a "TITLE", but more so about putting into practice the many roles....
