"We need to free both men and women from rigid patriarchal structures and traditional gender roles. Sexism and moral policing against men has increased in recent times but has mostly gone unnoticed. When both feminists and men's rights activists want gender equality, where is the problem," asked founder of NGO Save India Family Foundation Anil Kumar. He answered his own question by saying the compromised stand feminist had didn't let them bother if men experienced sexism or got stifled inside rigid patriarchal expectations." - Payal Gwalani
"HOW INDIAN MEN ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST
Till today, no study has been done by the government on domestic and social life of men, suicides among married men and men's issues in general
Married men are victims of gender biased laws and suffer false dowry, domestic violence, rape cases. Men lack social acceptance and society looks at them as perpetrators, even before they are proven guilty
Gender neutral laws like shared parenting, inclusion of men in laws regarding sexual harassment at workplaces, giving adequate paternity leaves, etc are required to be made"
Conditions outside of the U.S do not seem to be taking similarly paced strides at gender equality. This has been posted on the Times of India site today and serves to highlight the alternative, but parallel side to feminism and the equality of the female gender.
However, I believe that no matter what you call it, gender equality is a necessity and begins with the eliminate of such constricting terms of refinement. Equality across genders, identities and sexual preferences.
