"Everything from the very beginning has a good purpose, but as the human mind is devious, it changes that goodness of which things are created to evil".
Aristotle, in his
philosophical rumination posited the Doctrine of the Mean which for him, virtue
entails finding the appropriate middle ground between two extremes, hence, to
attain this virtue of the middleness, is to learn moderation in what one does.
Excess of not doing or doing, are vices. Man as a higher animal, has as part of
the nature of his soul (Psyche), thymos (spirit) which in Platonic
interpretation is SPIRITEDNESS that seeks recognition of its worth and dignity.
It is undeniable, that
over the years, patriarchy system where the female gender is suppressed under
the powers and will of men, has prevailed over many centuries making women only
to have an instrumental value, not treated as human beings and not being an end
in themselves. As the world grows certain group of women came up to say, “We
are humans with rights and dignity, so, treat us as one”. This is the idea
behind FEMINISM. Feminists are just saying let us have the same rights as that
of men; it is the advocacy of women’s right based on the equality of the sexes.
When I was researching on Jean Jacques Rousseau’s Concept of Inequality, I discovered that gender
inequality has done more harm to the society both in terms of development and
economic improvement of human life. Feminism is something everyone needs to
advocate for Feminism is not disrespectfulness of men but that respect is
reciprocal in nature, it is not that men are inferior rather we all are equal
as human beings. For there existed marginalization of women in the past,
feminism means you have to read a lot, to understand a lot, to feel a lot, and
to be honest.
The extreme of Feminism
is REDICAL FEMINISM, which is a vice. It is a battle with the opposite sex and
they oppose everything about male gender and wants to be superior to them: They
advocate for female supremacy. The radical feminist sees motherhood, family
hood, religion, tradition as barbaric and therefore, centres their ideology on
misandry: hatred for men. They see marriage as rubbish and will advocate for
lesbianism and also see pregnancy as burden and degrading on the dignity of
women, therefore, will encourage invitro, exvitro and invivo fertilization.
Radical feminism is
misogynic and also seeks Female Autonomy. MISOGYNIC is hatred for female
gender, they show that they are not women rather they are escapists who escaped
being women, hence, this female autonomy paves way to lesbianism, gender
transplant, etc.
The implication of Radical Feminism is that male gender should be slaves to them which also result to inhuman treatment they are fighting against for themselves. This will lead to chaos, disorder and as well create conflict in the society. It is better we remain in the level of feminism rather than making it obvious and if such us the case, Gender-war will escalate. If they succeeded destroying motherhood and abortion becomes right, what then becomes the fate of humanity: OBLIVION
