The beginning

It all started with adam and eve..or id like to say eve and adam(y shud guys come first??)..and it still continues..
i wasnt born a feminist.. but life and society has made me into one..
i dont hate guys either,i just hate the injustices against women..
i have been accused by so many (males) that im a feminist(as if feminist is a bad thing to be)


There are soo many(im talking billions) of women out there whose life itself is not in their hands..
A woman has always been discriminated against..from womb to tomb!!
Many girl children are not allowed to be born!!..they are killed even before birth,a term called female foeticide..
Even if they are born,the moment her family realises that its a girl child,they either kill them(this is called female infanticide) or are made to feel unwanted and a burden throughout life..
A girl child is not allowed to go outside the house in many communities,she is not allowed to eat properly,not allowed to study,she is made to cook,clean the house,work as a child etc..
The problem only gets worse when she reaches puberty,because now, the girl is capable of reproducing now,the people around her believe that she has to be married,so she gets married to a perfect stranger and is expected to take care of him, bear his children,and satisfy his needs,for the rest of her life!!
She gets pregnant before being mature enough to be a mother, gives birth to children(even this is not her choice),sometimes even dies during the process(maternal mortality)..
I am a feminist and i shall fight injustice whenever i can,and help in whichever way i can!!
