Thoughts on Feminism, should everyone be a Feminist? Silent agreement among spectrum of Indian intellectuals when it comes to criticism of Feminism. Is it an exaggeration to say with an acerbic tone that Alimony is legalized extortion, which is mandated by law, approved by society, exploited by some women and adjusted by men? Why are feminist organizations supporting Islamists? Many successful woman have refused to be labelled as Feminists. Why are some women fixated with the word “Feminism”? Is it correct to appropriate Feminism without even doing basic diagnosis of its recent past? If Feminists feel that they have the holy right to assert the greatness and sanctity of modern Feminism without any debate, can others have the right to dismiss and ridicule Feminism and Feminists without any debate?
