Gender Feminism faces desertion in India

Share this at:

From source India Today(issue Apr 4, 2005),

Women Constitute:

  • 50% of Doctors(1.25 lakh) who graduate.
  • 21% of Software Engineers.
  • 25% of science and engineering graduates.
  • 55% of the primary petitioners filing for Divorce.

It also says,

In cities, freedom comes in an enticing but tricky package. For the previleged, there are other traps. Feminism itself has beome an enslaving activity: in stead of a fair fight for rights, it has become a furious battle. In the name of empowerment, women are misusing power and repeating the same blunders of men, skewing their own goals. Section 498 A of IPC, introduced as an amendment to protect women against cruelty, has been notorious as a revenge tool. In response, many are distancing themselves from the crusade. Ask Naina Kapur, the lawyer behind the Supreme Court’s Vishakha guidelines of 1997 on sexual harassment. Kapur, now an educator, has put activism behind her because she feels the women’s movement has become a battle of anger, not rights.

So, there is continuous desertion from Indian Feminism due to extremism.
