I bet you may have been hearing this term ridiculously way too often to have turned a blind eye to it.It started off as a trending topic ever since a certain young Gandhi made or rather ruined his first and seemingly last interview on a new channel.
If you haven't watched it then you can catch up below......
What it actually means I don't think even the above mentioned scion knows! Which brings me back to the thought does any of us actually know what is the literal meaning of this term? Or is it just used as a hash tag to enhance the value of our words on social media debates ?
Read about unnecessary debates here .
Anything and everything said or posted these days is used as a weapon against men. We need to realize the importance of hating the crime committed by one person of a sex and stop incriminating the entire manhood for the atrocities on women. Not all men are rapists. Not all of them look at women with lecherous eyes. Not all men are involved in eve teasing and cat calling. Many people turn into bold beings when they come online to wage their virtual war against someone who may want to voice his/her opinion.
Coming to the topic of EMPOWERMENT what this word sounds like to me is "to make an individual powerful so that he/she is able to face any situation".
What makes a woman powerful? How can we define "an empowered woman"?
Does an empowered woman fight off goons or build huge muscles and lift heavy weights?
Does she have a popular standing in the society?
Is she someone who is famous or talks well?
Sorry. She doesn't necessarily have all the above mentioned attributes nor is she someone so popular that the entire country knows her.
She is someone who knows to put her foot down and say NO when all her peers join the bandwagon of "cool".
She is someone who embraces her weird awkwardness and isn't guilty for being who she is.
She is someone who works hard to keep her family going strong despite all the odds.
She is someone who stands against wrong even though everyone else is doing it.
She is someone who chooses to carve her own path without being bogged down with the burden of marriage.
She is someone who chooses her career over getting married.
She is someone who balances her professional life with her in-laws.
Someone who chooses to be herself in the presence of a crowd.
She doesn't need to be equipped with extraordinary super powers. She doesn't need a knight in shining armour. She doesn't need the latest technology .
An EMPOWERED woman is found in every nook and corner of the world. She doesn't need to be a Wonder woman with a power logo on her head. Nor does she need to harness thunder into her hands. There is no necessity for her to harp on the superiority of her sex.
If she has to be on par with the opposite sex,its time that she hated being called the weaker sex.Its time she donned the shining armour herself and became the knight herself. For HERSELF.
And never underestimate the power of a woman : If she can give you birth;she can do anything!
