Feminism is as real as Patriarchy is.
Feminism occurred as a response to the oppression of women throughout history. It is a movement that emerged to eliminate the marginalization of women. Individuals unclear about the concept of feminism would only perceive it as ‘oppression of the males’ or ‘dominance over the male society’.
Feminism calls for gender equality based on social, political and economic rights and freedoms. It seeks to rectify the injustice that affects women disproportionately.
Being a feminist does not only pertain to just one gender. There are males and as well as females who consider themselves feminists.
Feminists work to dismantle the existence of patriarchy in society, in turn advocating a culture where everyone is free to express themselves, without the constraints of traditional, oppressive norms.
People misunderstand feminism, viewing it as ‘anti-men’. What people fail to see is that feminism is about fostering a society with equal opportunities, not claiming one gender superior to the other.
Today, feminism has evolved, addressing challenges like online harassment, representation of women in the media and promoting body positivity. In today’s modern world, feminism has played a major role in creating opportunities for women, yet patriarchy still stands dominant.

As a human, we all possess feelings. Anger is one of them. There are many times when we feel frustrated, anxious, annoyed, etc. and we usually end up getting angry at others. By doing so, we not only hurt others but also feel regret throughout the day. Even this portrait us in bad terms. What we can do in this situation is to process it in some other manner. We can make friendship with a diary, in which we can write every thought of our mind, such that why are we angry, on whom we are angry, how are we feeling, what are our minds up to, etc. It is just burying anger might result in some sort of distress, rather we should process it in some other way. Nevertheless we cannot write everywhere, all the time. Accordingly, we can distract us from being in that situation, such as back counting from 10 to 9, go out for a walk, meditate for minutes, read a book, talk to our close ones or anything which we find good to do. Sometimes getting angry is also required but, letting it coming over us or affecting us is not acceptable.
