Failed Goddesses of Feminism

Syeda Afshana

Abstract :

The idea of feminism has always invited attention because of its appealing slogans and concepts that have thrown up a plethora of questions revolving around the multiple identities of women, which are actually a construct of many attributes. The individuality of women and their various roles have been the components of such multiple identities. However, behind the noisy debate of feminism, a crude reality debunks the tall claims of its believers. The chasm between their ideology and living has raised many eyeows. The obscurity in relating their ideological to their experiential has been quite disconcerting. The void between who they are within a real world and how they purport outside, leads to fallacy of an ideology that cannot salvage its own believers. This paper tries to put forth the same antithesis in the context of outpourings of a few famous feminists who have miserably failed in propounding and projecting an idea that could have solved many a problem of women rather than pushing them into a confusion that has insidious forms of impracticality and discrimination peddled by the ‘promiscuous’ liberal thought
