  • Feminism and Fake Feminism

    ©Kulsoom Abid

    Hey, you all already understood what we are going to talk about today. I feel being a girl myself it’s my moral responsibility to tell people the difference between Feminism and Fake Feminism. I have wanted to write about it for so long and now I’m finally doing it.

    Feminism started when the World began to understand the need for Gender Equality. So as far as I know, Feminism is all about social, cultural, economical, educational, political and personal equality of women. Which, in simple words mean that women can live and work wherever she wants, dress up however she desires, eat whatever she craves, choose any occupation she dreams of, study whatever subject she likes, etc.

    It’s basic, right?

    That’s how we (the society) define equality.

    If men can wear white jeans, a green shirt, a maroon belt, baby pink hat, eat a cheeseburger, study zoology and earn 25,000 per day then women can do it too.

    Now, what’s Fake Feminism?

    Well, I would define it as accessing your rights but disrespecting the right of others.

    Example: Wearing a neon pink shirt yourself and judging if a guy does the same, saying “ We are girls we can wear that, you are a guy you can’t.” 

    Excuse me? Really?

    Being a girl I strongly discourage such behaviour. Feminism was for “ equality ” if you don’t want to hear what you can and can not do then you have no right to tell someone else the same.

    Another example: If a guy opens up it’s not okay because he is a guy and if a girl opens up then it’s okay because she is a girl. And if a guy opposes this then they say “ Oh shut up, you don’t know what we go through we bleed every month, we carry a baby for nine months ” etc. And then you’ll go posting things about feminism.

    See, I respect that, okay, but we girls suffer all this doesn’t mean that boys don’t have problems to deal with or they have no right to open up. I’m not an Anti-feminist or a Pro-male-ist. What I’m trying to say is Feminism gives you equality, not the supreme power to oppress others or disrespect their rights.

    Being Feminist is not a bad thing, helping women achieve their dreams or gain self-respect, self-confidence is a commendable act. But if you support a girl to be a soldier, fighter pilot, architect etc then support a guy who wants to be a fashion designer, makeup artist and painter too. Equality is what matters, that’s where this started from.

    Please recognise the difference and kindly stop doing this, because it hurts me to watch that we are misusing the thing made for our benefit by using it against someone else.

    Humanity is above all. Equality is above all. People supporting and being empathetic to each other is above all. And if you don’t get it, then I have nothing to say to you.

    If you think I’m wrong then, please correct me. Your views, reviews and suggestions are most welcomed.

    Thank you for reading.

  • Why is Racism even a Thing?

    ©Kulsoom Abid

    I was into my routine “late-night-overthinking” when I realized that sometimes I don’t understand why “Racism” is even a thing?


    I mean it’s like saying white flowers are beautiful because they are white and purple or blue ones are ugly because they are purple or blue.


    At the end of the day, they all are flowers. They all are beautiful.
    Imagine if the World had only white or yellow flowers… Now imagine the world with only red or purple or blue flowers…?
    There will be no variety in gardens and bouquets, everything will look the same.

    Let’s look at it in this way.

    When we make a painting, we colour it the way we want to, we use the colours we think will look good on the object and we go deep down into our creativity and imagination to come up with what we desire for. And when we are done, we don’t care what others think, we love our painting because it is ours it is purely our creativity.

    Now, think of us (the people in the world) as paintings and think of God as an artist. He painted us this way, he painted the flowers this way because he wanted to. It’s his creativity and he loves us he is proud of us for the way we are. In the same way, we would have been of something we created.

    Purple and white flowers look more beautiful together than separately, whether in the Garden (normal life, local places and society) or in the Bouquet (high ranking jobs, prestigious sectors and in the decision making bodies). Understand that. Because we won’t like the future generations to think we were stupid to not understand such simple things, because the world will always be a colourful place, whether you like it or not because the Creator likes it this way.

    I would love to know your views, reviews and suggestions on the topic and my blog too. Feel free to comment below.

    Thank you for reading.

  • Thoughts of a Grey- headed Pigeon.

    “I’m unique with my white body and grey head
    But i do eat the same bread.


    Wherever my eyes go ,
    I see my fellow greys and whites,
    Somehow my appearance matter to them more than the light’s.


    Somehow I’m both but none,
    Somehow I feel like an alien.


    Although I’m just like them,
    Yet so un-like them.


    I know there is a difference,
    All i wish for is acceptance.


    Although I have same traits,
    Which the society rejects.


    They are blinded by the myth of appearance,
    All I wish for is acceptance.”
