Will Feminism have a detrimental effect on heterosexual relationships?

Feminism and its effect on heterosexual relationships are redefining the way the men and women treat each other in today’s workplace and homes. As different cultures have diverse values, is antagonistic feminism harming or healing the wounds?

This term has been largely confined to women. Men who support related issues are understood to have accepted it a woman-centric term. As the wide scope of feminism and its effects spills over to relationship issues between genders more neutral terms are being used. A metro sexual men tends to recognize the aggression of the female gender. However, they are tagging on to relationships more to keep peace and harmony around. Take a closer look at feminism today and its consequences within familial quarters. In extreme cases, supporters (of feminism) are most vocal about inequalities at work, sexual preferences and social issues. In some acute cases like violence and abuse, feminists are ready to breathe fire.

Over the years the continuous war between the sexes has eroded the natural relationship between man and woman. Once we accept biological differences between the genders, then it is easier to work around them to function in tandem rather than flying off handles at the first opportunity. In the mid 80s’ feminism turned so vocal and aggressive that it slowly changed the equations between men and women. Turning them against each other. It is not very difficult to understand the currents of antagonism as one generation passes on its values to the next. So if a mother has been an ardent feminist and her daughter looks up to her she too carries the legacy forward. There are instances of feminism taking an ugly turn within families. Where the hurt of abuse and violence between classes and siblings have nurtured alternate sexuality, the effect it has on heterosexual relationship has been devastating.

When there are many interpretations to the ideologies feminists fighting causes for victims in other cultures in different countries often face hurdles. Their concept of feminism and tackling the issues are totally dissimilar thus creating holes in active participation of causes. For example in a country like Afghanistan a girl participating in a beauty pageant is likely to be stoned because of the orthodox society. What can a group of feminists do even if they choke on their vocal chords in front of the Afghan authorities? No matter how much liberation, freedom and rights they have in America they cannot help Afghani women more than bringing them to America. In a liberal country like America the extreme face of feminism has resulted in women being so hostile that they have completely turned away from men. In some cases have preferred company of fellow women! So where does that leave a natural heterosexual relationship? Belligerent feminism and its skewed dogmas have turned even religion and science against themselves. White women feminists fighting for Islamic women have earned the ire of even the moderate Muslim women, the whole purpose of protecting rights is defeated. 

Feminism and its advocates can survive in future only if they are able to relate to issues concerning to outrage and inequalities which go beyond religious and social boundaries. Feminists do need the male species to survive. If they do not live in harmony how will the precious human race survive? Won’t the aliens find it easy to destroy us?
