The Subtle Difference Between A Feminist And A Feminazi?

Feminism is a broad social movement which aims to set the balance for how men and women interact with each other in a social setting with broad range of relationships ranging from marriage to business and beyond. While the balance between men and women has been skewed in favour of men since times immemorial, the term feminism was first coined in 1872 by Charles Fourier. While the idea has always been there, it acquired an identity and came to be quoted in public in greater frequency with greater force.

While different people have defined feminism differently, the broad theme was that of reducing to naught the various disadvantages that women faced in different walks of life. These challenges are broadly attributed to the evolution of societies from predominantly agriculture based to the industrial age. The needs of an agrarian society placed more emphasis on the capacity to do physical labour and men being at an advantage due to greater muscle mass meant that they also tended to hold and protect power in various ways.

Feminism started off with the most basic requirement of the ‘right to vote’ for women. This happened between the 19^th and early 20^th centuries. This was followed by the movement for legal and social equality for women in terms of right to inheritance, which happened in the latter half of the 20^th century. This was followed by the third movement for individuality towards the end of the 20^th century. The fourth and last wave started in the beginning of the 21^st century and was characterised by women fighting for equality at the workplace and a strong emphasis on sexual harassment at the workplace. The last movement has led to the ouster of the CEO of Uber and Harvey Weinstein. It has had such a profound effect on women across the globe that the removal of any high-profile person due to allegations of sexual misdemeanour is now called the ‘Weinstein effect’.

Anal4K – For The Win!

When it comes to creating a perfect harmony in the adult industry it takes two, right? This is the case with Anal4K series that debuted in February of 2021. 4K quality content with crystal clear interpretation of what internal creampie really means. The biggest female names in the business take part in this inspiring, yet very messy project.

There has been a parallel trend movement alongside feminism which is often confused with feminism called feminazi movement. This is a novel but oft misunderstood term which is hotly debated by both feminists and counter movements. Let us look at a basic line of thought as below in a metaphorical way.

Misogyny means men greater than women
Misandry means women greater than men
Feminism means men equal to women as are all human beings
Feminazi means extreme feminism. It could be interpreted as women who would do to men what Nazi did to Jews

While feminism is more about setting the balance right in the relationship between men and women of the world, feminazi tries to push the balance in the opposite direction to a world where women not only dominate men, but also control their fate to the point of not needing them beyond the basic ones related to biology such as procreation. This is an extreme stance but has its own fringe movements though not as popular as feminism.

The word is out on where both of these movements would lead, but it is without doubt that women live a far more equitable life due to the last 150 years of feminist movement in all parts of the world.

Is Guantanamo A Show Of US Power Or A Human Rights Violation?

After the 9/11 attacks, the US experienced a dive into a security crisis and went extremely serious about taking actions against terrorism. They set an incarceration camp in Guantanamo Bay in 2002. The media have revealed many practices that are against the law of human rights that are carried out here and enclosed from the rest of the globe. Many NGO’s who are purely devoted to the human rights of the society have opposed this act of US power and abandon this method of treating humans that are found guilty or suspected to be guilty in combatting against the US. The US designates this action as a war against terrorism, they have designated their enemies as terrorism, and this is indeed a show-off of the power of the US.

Violence? Control It With Entertainment!

Keeping society happy is not an easy task but it surely is easy to reduce the global violence. People are always curious about taboo things and you governments should kill these thoughts quickly. How so? It’s pretty simple – with proper entertainment – Pure Taboo should be taken as prime example of it. Delivering the graphic interpretation of the most taboo’ish subjects in sexual area of society. Controversial situations but always with a proper storyline and superb quality.

Pure Taboo – making taboos mainstream. A way of keeping violence down.

After the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration declared that the attack was none of the concern of any other countries of the world and decided to play on its own against this attack. They mentioned that the US is unique and did not let the UN interfere in the matter. This act of the US was definitely an act to create a fearful environment in the world. On the other hand, the US responded very violently to the 9/11 attacks by invading Iraq and Afghanistan.

A Cunning Breach Of The US Constitution By The US

Whether it be a crisis or any other situation, fundamental rights are always authorized, and the required restrictions to the administration guarantee must be determined stringently along with its justification. However, some fundamental rights cannot be restricted at all which includes inhuman tortures or a treatment that may be referred to as human degrading treatments. And all of these breaches are carried out in the Guantanamo against the humans that fail to cooperate with interrogation. And when there is a question of constitution, the Guantanamo is not stationed in the US soils, and hence it can go against the US constitution not forgetting the fact that it is operated by the US administration. When the US is commented by the NGOs like Amnesty International and the Center of Constitutional Rights, the US administration has an answer stating that the US does not have sufficient supremacy since the Guantanamo is not on the US soils.

The Illegal Treatment

The amplifying evidence by some secret services has reported the nature of inhumanity suffered by the detainees in Guantanamo. The detainees are forced to sit on their own shit, enforcing painful positions, use of military dogs for torturing the detainees until death, long exposures extreme of heat, cold or noise and enforcing the detainees to strip completely. These kinds of tortures are executed upon failing to comply with the interrogation or breaching the prison rule. Is that humanity?

The New Problem

The Guantanamo was an action against terrorism after 9/11 attacks by the US. It was to solve terrorism and not raise any other crisis. But now it has turned out to be a result of another severe problem of legitimacy. This is purely due to the violations of the fundamental right that should not be restricted in any circumstances. There are many ways to lift-up the Guantanamo issue, but this is possible only if the US is willing to strengthen its relationship with human rights and have some sympathy. It is affirmative to treat the terrorists through these violations but announcing enemies as a terrorist and then violating their human rights is something that is not expected from the super-power like the US. Therefore, the US must revise its policies and take a step forward to make sure that the normal innocent human being is not a victim of such tortures and inhumanity.

Amnesty Annual Report Suggest World Leaders Are Abandoning Human Rights

In the current times, where the entire world is facing problems with precarious economies, natural disasters and troubled environments, we need leaders who can guide us into a safe, peaceful and harmonious future. However, this is not something that we are seeing today.

According to the Annual Human Rights Report for 2016 from Amnesty International, our current leaders are aborting human rights with their detestable rhetoric and regressive policies.

The Amnesty report included some of the popular leaders like Russian leader Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogna, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Phillippines President Rodrigo Duterte, and China’s President Xi Jinping. These leaders have constantly threatened the existence of human rights through their repugnant oratory. According to Salil Shetty, the secretary-general of Amnesty, there are very few governments in current times, who are taking a stand for human rights.

The Dwarfism Of Current Leaders Towards Humanity

The most controversial among these include the travel ban levied by the US President Donald Trump.

The report quotes on several events and policy implications of these world-famous leaders. The most controversial among these include the travel ban levied by the US President Donald Trump. This hateful move of the leader to ban entry of people belonging to Muslim-majority countries was the epitome of human rights violation. Despite economic progress and public discussion on democracy, the US remained the most unequal and violent region.

The situation in the Asia Pacific is similar where the human rights of the people are repressed. In various countries like Malaysia, China, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, North Korea, Singapore and Vietnam, ill treatment and torture was the tool to target marginalised people and defenders of human rights. Such violations and denial of justice to victims need to be addressed effectively.

Cuckolding on the rise – do we really need this?

Be The Cuck – Only Watch!

Awkward trend of cuckolding has been getting a lot of social power in last months and now there is even a dedicated website being released to promote it to mainstream. Called Be The Cuck its purpose is to promote this sexual fantasy of watching a significant other woman having sex with a third party while the original partner watches it. Videos on the website are recorded in POV, so you are the title Cuck – a person that can only watch.

Number of human rights defenders, journalists, activists and lawyers who faced harassment and intimidation under Xi Jinping’s rule in China is increasing.

The Chinese government has enacted and drafted various laws in the pretext of national security that suppresses these activists. The 61-year old human right activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo was imprisoned repeatedly for calling out major political reforms. In the same manner, North Korea practiced extreme repression and restrictions on its domestic independent media and freedom of speech.

The government crackdown on the Rohingya, a minority population, further resulted in the fleeing of more than 655,000 refugees to Bangladesh. The discrimination against Rohingya is the warning on the crisis that will follow This dreadful episode would stand in history as an example of catastrophic failure of the world to address such crimes.

The Effects Of Regressive Rhetoric

This hateful move of the US President Trump on travel ban has resulted in a domino effect leading to demonizing the minority group by other countries. Marginalised communities have been continuously targeted and overlooked by the government. Black people have faced racism, violence and discrimination in the majority of countries.

Women and children from the marginalised communities have faced violence, sexual violence, child labour, trafficking, and racial harassment.

Migrants and Muslims are vulnerable to discrimination and racial profiling in various parts of the world.

The Ray Of Hope

These inhuman acts have triggered many human rights activists and common people in opposing and protesting against such regressive ideologies. Many activists were killed in the past years while fighting for human rights against the governments. An example is the Women’s March in January 2017, they protested against the comments made by US President Trump during his election campaign.

The report mentions various other movements by the activists which challenged the ideologies and embraced the importance of respecting human rights. Thousands of activists and common people in various parts of the world have protested against violence, discrimination and suppression.

Human rights activists have used technology and various tools to demonstrate their outrage. They are anchoring on a digital future which involves effective use of mobiles, computers, FM radio, and social media to challenge injustice and fight for the respect and acceptance of human rights.

The Final Call

The report from this Amnesty is a wakeup call for people who believe in equality, humanity and peace. With World leaders who are constantly failing to attain this through their discriminating speeches, unfair laws and regressive policies, it is important for the people to rise and fight against them.

The report proves to be a warning on the ongoing crisis and continuous breach of human rights. It provides in-depth information on various policies and acts of different governments, which resulted in discrimination and violence around the world.

This Amnesty campaigns for freedom, dignity and justice to all and seeks public support to build a safe, peaceful, and a united world.

Feminism Makes Sense If Isolated From Emotion

The meaning of feminism has been distorted from time to time. However, it mainly refers to the fight for gender equality for women and a right to make their own decisions that are not constrained by their sexual orientation. One of the things women have been having a hard time with is to disengage themselves away from emotion.

In society, women have been characterised as emotional beings from time immemorial. Everyone expects a sense of emotionality whenever they are interacting with a woman. However, this has had an overbearing effect on women for decades, if not centuries.

Emotional Labour And Feminism

Emotional labour is described as an experience whereby women are expected to be women.

In the workplace, no matter the position they are in, they are still expected to be jovial and friendly characters and to have a feminine appeal around them. Take the example of an air hostess. They are always expected to wear a smile whenever they are dealing with passengers, even if they are experiencing a bad day or have a particularly nagging passenger to deal with.

Smiling Flight Attendant — Women are expected to be jovial and friendly characters

However, this topic has only been centred on women in the workplace. How about in their private lives? There is the feeling that women are overburdened emotionally by the number of “feminine” things that is expected from them. They are usually the ones expected to remember birthdays and any other important things at home. They are also expected to relate emotionally to their kids, to notice people’s health and to have a caring attitude to the people around them.

Isolating Emotions For Equality

This is the main reason why women want to define feminism by isolating the emotional bit. They feel overwhelmed and burdened because their gender comes with the emotional tag to it. To women, feminism refers to freedom. They don’t want to have an assumed nature associated with them. If there was such a thing as emotional equality, then it would have been included in the definition of feminism. At the end of the day, any form of emotional labour that women endure (especially in the workplace) should be compensated for, just like physical and intellectual labour.

The Statistics On Police Brutality Is Staggering

Police brutality is on the rise in many countries around the world. This has led to widespread hatred of the police. One might wonder how it is that many people have a low regard for men and women in uniform even though their main aim is to implement law and order in society. This issue has become a sensational topic in many places around the world (See reactions to Trump’s call to rough up suspects).

However, in as much as there are police officers whose intention might be to cause harm to suspects, there is a large majority that is intent in ensuring the peaceful pursuit of justice through lawful means. Here are some of the major statistics on police brutality.

Most Of The Cases Of Police Brutality Don’t Involve Crime

Most people assume that in most cases, suspects usually retaliate to police officers hence the need for excessive violence on the officer’s part. However, studies indicate the opposite.

69% of the people who were brutalised by police were not even suspected of being armed.

Location Matters When It Comes To Police Brutality

While people might cast the whole police force in the same light, new research indicates that there are certain areas where police brutality is more rampant. This means that there are other factors that drive police officers towards using excessive force that are location dependent.

Black People Are Most Likely To Be Killed By Police

Official statistics indicate that black people are 3 times more likely to be killed by police than white people. This fact applies to white dominated countries.

Nothing Is Ever Done In Many Police Brutality Cases

Rally against police brutality — Many human rights organizations have complained about unresolved cases of police brutality

While there are indeed many police brutality cases reported worldwide, 97% of these cases are never resolved. This means that only 3% of the cases end up with the police officer being charged in a court of law. Many human rights organizations have complained about this trend. The main aim of the police is to ensure that law and order is followed. They are the enforcers. However, what happens if they end up breaking the law instead? Does it mean that they can’t be prosecuted like ordinary citizens?

These are the questions that are being asked by human rights organisations from around the world. There should be internal mechanisms (that actually work) to deal with rogue police officers. If the trend continues and no police officers face justice, then there is a high likelihood that demonstrations like the ones held in America will be a rampant thing around the world.
