being a feminist

I am not a feminist. And i don't believe in the concept of feminism. this means that while i believe in equal opportunities for men and women, i don't believe in the need for a revolution to achieve this.

women have been looked up on as the weaker sex. women have to undertake more stress in balancing work with personal life. women are physically weaker than men. at least in average terms. women have different tastes than men. women are emotionally stronger than men. again on an average basis.

BUT. they are as much a human being as men. both have their fair share of work and challenges, happiness and sorrow to deal with. in the species of human beings, gender is just another basis for classification. disability vs normal ability. colour skin. nationality. height/weight/ you can think of many more.

how do we deal with these differences? we give them special benefits to come up to the level of the other section, if there is a sense of exploitation. but unless the distinction is pointing towards an inability such as for disabled, or refugees, or rape victims, why should there be special benefits? when we do that we acknowledge them as disadvantaged, as a symbol of some kind of inability. and that is why i don't like the concept of feminism. feminism for me is a way of acknowledging women as weaker. do we really need to do that? do we make special quotas for sad people? do we provide special quota for vegetarians? there is nothing sub-ordinary about being a woman. let everyone compete on a fair level and taste the unadulterated taste of success!!
