Question

How can one relate women empowerment with feminism?

Answer 1

Feminism is a by product of lack of women empowerment. If women were as empowered as men are there will be no need for feminist movement.

Going to work and having your own money is not empowerement. Woman has to have economic, emotional and intellectual independence to be really called empowered and should not need a man validator to make her feel all these virtues. Another strong indicator of women empowerment is that keeping no grudge with men and being ready to give the same respect, love and support what they once desired as women.

Sometimes they push too hard and feminist take it to a point where men feel, what women felt once. If we were opressed once, we only want to get out from that opsessing situation, goal should not be to take the role of opressor.

This is women empowerment, we have not achieved it yet that is why we see talk of feminism. A huge number of women in this world are still living like slaves in their own homes, they are physicaly, verbally and emotionally abused on the daily basis, with no support system to turn to
