Women have a stake in Patriarchy.
What is the biggest huddle in the demolition of Patriarchal system and making a feminine world order? I claim a big assertion, "Women have a stake in Patriarchy and hence, No-true heartedly fight against the masculine world order could have been started". Women have compromised even in their biggest fight against Masculine world order. Women have failed women. They are reform based. They lack vision of revolution. They lack revolutionary consciousness. All this might sound bizarre and means nothing if I cannot prove this. But, let me state all my assertions. Women try to achieve masculinity and a Masculine freedom hence the claim to power by women is intrinsically masculine. They are bound to fail. Men always had boons of patriarchy and women were oppressed but even within women, The claim to masculine power has always been there. A mother-in-law and Daughter in law dynamic. Where does a mother-in-law derive power in the family setup of patriarchy. It is, indeed, a masculine claim to power. Hence, at times, Women become the flagbearers of patriarchy. This is not just a traditional patriarchal family case. In the wake of modernity and modern feminism even, this is the case. Women, especially working women, today have a claim to power which is intrinsically masculine. I come to my final assertion, A feminist revolution cannot mean just giving rights to women or doing gender-based reforms or shifting to create a balance of power between a man and a woman. it should mean creating a feminine world order. An order entirely different from what men have made over a period of 10000 years. A fundamental change to the core. Snatching patriarchy from the hearts of psyches of men and women, creating men comfortable with their feminine side and women embracing their feminine side more. Masculinity to its core, should be transformed to a healthy non-self-negating trait of every human being.
All the highlighted phrases demand explanation which I will give later on.
