    “Feminism“. Just saying the word can make some folks squirm. In Bangladesh, the moment you identify as a feminist, people jump to conclusions. “Oh, so you hate men?” “You just want special treatment.” “Feminism isn’t necessary anymore.”

     

    Let’s set the record straight.

    Feminism isn’t about disliking men. It’s all about equality—plain and simple. Yet, for some reason, many believe that if women gain more rights, men will somehow lose out. That’s not how equality works; It’s not like a pie with limited slices.

    And no, feminism isn’t about seeking special treatment. It’s about addressing centuries of oppression. Women still earn less than men for doing the same job, face harassment just for being in public spaces, and are often expected to prioritize others’ dreams over their own. If acknowledging these issues makes someone uncomfortable, maybe the real problem isn’t feminism—it’s the system we’re living in.

     

    Then there’s the old argument: “But women have rights now! Feminism isn’t needed anymore.” Sure, we’ve made strides. More girls are attending school, more women are in the workforce, and we have laws that protect us. But laws alone don’t change how people think. If feminism were truly unnecessary,” why do women still get blamed for being harassed? Why are so many girls married off before they even turn 18? Why is a woman’s value still tied to how ‘respectable’ she appears?“

    Feminism isn’t the enemy—inequality is. And until we create a society where gender doesn’t hold anyone back, “Feminism will continue to be important.“
