Sui Generis

I am flawed and I am human. People are afraid to be judged and thus judge one another. We have set certain benchmarks , a certain agenda and the "freaky " who doesn't approve of it is put undertrial.
Talking about certain agendas that we have,not entirely,but have set certain parameters like "english" has been a quotient to judge somebody's intelligence.In all that what we forget is people are sui generis.

Now what we have to think about is should we stick to traditional;tried and tested ideas and opinions ,and accept what others think is right. Have you ever pretended to be what you are not or just never thought of doing something because you fear that you would never be accepted by the mainstream. It’s your broken idea of fairness.

There has always been evolutions of doctrines and there have been many ideologies.Lets talk about one 'Feminism'.
"It is a social movement which argues that legal and social restrictions on women must be removed in order to bring about equality of sexes in all aspects of public and private life" but it is a movement powered by people and people are inherently flawed. Feminism lately has suffered a certain guilt because of the woman who advocate feminism as a part of their personal brand.When these figure heads say what we want to hear we idolise them and when not, we knock them right off.

But yes things are changing, if we talk about ancient literature there have been very less by women and i guess none by women of color (Hope I am wrong) and now we have women who have abutted space.

And yes there have been men supporting feminism.Some will say men are privileged but we need to get to a place where we discuss privillege by way of observation and acknowledgement rather than accusation.
There is no need to blame or change one another what simply needs to be done is understand the differences.

"**A women is who loves pink and at the same time likes to get freaky;
who plays dumb with repairmen as its easier to let them feel macho.
who can fly high still want someone to catch her when she falls.
who often cries for silly things and stands firm for her decision.
who can conquer the world but loose herself for her loved ones.
who when can't find someone to follow,leads the world by example**.

**A man who pre-eminently search the best gift for her girl.
who plays macho just to make her girl feel secure.
who gazes at her girl with proud when she flies and ready to catch her when she falls.
who often hides his tears and emotions just to follow the commitment.
who gets amazed with her girl conquering the world and surrender himself to her.
who becomes an example and role model for her daughter to look for the qualities in man**.

PS : Sui generis is a latin phrase which means "of its own kind"

Inspired by Roxane Gay.
