They say feminism is a weapon,
Which women use against men,
Feminism is not against someone,
It is for women.
It is just an ideology,
Which says,
That yes!
Women are humans too.
They need freedom too,
They want to breath in the fair air,
They want to live life,
Without so many bulwarks.
They go through the pains,
Of the pressures
Of the society,
To be a certain way.
They go through the expectations,
From the close ones,
Just because they were born,
As women.
They don't need you,
To vacate your positions in life,
They just want an understanding,
They just need empathy,
Not your criticism.
Neither your pity.
So, before pointing a finger,
Towards such women.
Know not all are the same,
Stop stereotyping,
And just try understanding,
For once,
Feel what they go through.

This poem is not just directed towards men, but many women too who just don't know that feminism is all about. It is considering every one equal. It is about a notion that women are as good as men and deserve equal rights.
