Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
The author makes an argument wherein she says that women fought on their own and men did not play a role in their battle against equality.
Today, when I was talking to my boyfriend I asked if he is a feminist and he replied that he is an “Equalist”. It sparked something in me. There are men giving equality to women in everything but, still some men consider women the weaker sex. Of course feminists have fought back for equal rights and equal opportunities in almost every field.
It is still a patriarchal society and the men think that they have let us win our fight. No, we didn’t win something, we fought for what actually belonged to us. We should have had equal rights. But, the patriarchal society held it back. You can take credit for just one thing- you made us come together and fight against the suppression. So don’t act as if you took pity on us and gave away equal rights. We fought back for what is ours and you offered us what we wanted.
Don’t say ‘we have given you equal opportunities, we have granted you equality in everything’ . You don’t grant us anything. When you couldn’t tolerate our fight, you backed out. As we fight back for what belongs to us, we can’t accept this lie that, ‘feminists were given equality by men’. We were suppressed, we were denied our rights, we realized, we fought, we gained our actual rights. You have nothing to do with this. Stay away as you have no part to play in our victory.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
