Versatile Soul

They are called modern in every era For they dare to be different Push the social boundaries Ask explanation for traditions That paint them weak, Keep them away from power, Burden them with responsibility, Curb their right to choose  and push them to just follow- the mores and customs & practices most of which they despise. She is often caught and pulled back  by this social web  so intricately knit that guides her look her every move her  every choice because she fears being an outcast It is so skillfully made That even in her rebel too she tortures herself to fit a checklist of liked/ desirable women  From waxing her body to wear that shorts/skirt to compromising her career for family it all looks fair and part of peaceful living.

He does not know what it means to be a feminist though he seems to me like one. As, he is happy to see an independent women, he encourages learning skills irrespective of gender,  he respects women as leader, he dissuades his spouse from taking the pain of waxing/threading, he accepts the real human body of a women and has no fancy expectations. Unaware he gives a glimpse of feminism in practice when he is kind and treats all equally, when he is supporting his daughter, sister or wife unconditionally, when he takes a stand against gender stereotyping, when he condemn misogynic cussing, when he is not insecure of her progress, when he chooses to ignore the vulnerability & takes pride in her body. He still won't agree to be a feminist as the word is so negatively popularized. To him his feminism is well covered in humanism, and so he practices it unaware. Men like him are gem and yes sadly rare.
