The friends she (never) had, the friends she (never) made.

You know, I find it really funny, least of all interesting, how people talk about feminism,

so, many oppositions in that regard. But I ask, what’s a female to do? You ask her to be calm, stay cool-headed, literally fold her arms and do nothing; just place her in a strait jacket. And when she’s uncomfortable, tired of the same position, and wants to move on to a better thing and place not for herself alone, but for the good of all others, you call her rebellious and stubborn. So, a friend just obtained her first degree, and now wants to move on to other bigger things. She has friends (or so she thought) who assured her of something afterwards, and she knew people she was sure could make things happen for her. She was sure it wouldn’t take them anything. But you see, these men were willing and ready to see her “come”, but were not willing nor ready to see her move onto a next level, without “coming”, of course. She’s nice and friendly and of course thought them as friendly friends who were impressed not by what her body could offer, but by what her brains could offer. But they didn’t see a future of non-sexual investment in her, in her friendship. Of course, it wasn’t like if she offered her body, there was any guarantee of a job with a reasonable pay, from them.

Now she’s decided she has to just blank them and continue clearing her path until there’s something better. She has decided to blank those “friends”, really settle down to get herself squared up, and start having and maintaining and gaining a stable ground, self-dependence and independence. These friends are now seeing her as someone who “doesn’t care” about their “friendship”. But then, is she wrong for sidelining them on a low-key? I regard her action, though might seem irrelevant, as a strong thing, a good thing, more like a feminist action. What do you regard as feminism? What’s your personal opinion and idea about FEMINISM?

I’d love to know your thoughts on this though. In the meantime, please do share and don’t forget to comment.
