I don't think that feminist critiques on society are about becoming like men. It's about equal opportunities and equal rights. Which is very important, because then women stop being property to men and become a fully respected citizen. It's not about giving up feminity, it's about embracing women have more to offer than servitude and motherhood.
What's so wrong with motherhood? Nothing more valuable then a mother, and the idea of being a mans "property" is bogus because everyone belongs to someone else, a child belongs to his parents, his/her parents belong to a country, a country belongs to its government, the government belongs to a further power and so on, if everyone belongs to someone else whats so wrong with a women belonging to her husband. Islam teaches freedom in marriage, a women isn't forced to marry, however if she does she needs to realize that now shes accepted the fact that she has new responsibility, that shes going to be protected by someone else, that she may have to become a mother. Modern day feminism is the reason marriages are deteriorating, its the reason order is crumbling. In life its important that one drops his/her ego and realizes we all submit to a greater power, be it theor husband, God almighty, the government, whatever.
@@iicodezz the extremities of modern day feminism are women who have a father wound. A man who in his paternal role was more than physically present, more than a provider, but also emotionally present and instilled dignity, self-respect and confidence in a woman. When women grow up lacking this full experience of fatherhood, they carry a father wound, they go through the world often attracting disappointing experiences or turn to distrusting and resenting men. While I don't think this is representative of all of feminism, I do agree with you that (at least on the internet) there is a portion of feminism that is toxic towards heterosexual relations. That womanhood is more than biological reproduction does not deny the value of family building. I simply disagree with your take on property. Respectfully, it's Islamic philosophers like Rumi and Khalil Gibran who speak most beautifully about this, in phrases like "do not make a bond of love, rather let it be a moving ocean between the shores of your souls" and "your heart belongs in the Hand of Life" which speaks about the respect for individuality and humility that you cannot "own" anybody. While Islam might preach for freedom in the choice of marriage; when we look how this is practiced in reality there are systematic cultural practices that negate this. Child brides who are stripped from education and taken as forced labor for their in-law family to cook, clean, manage their much older husbands' lusts are not an uncommon thing.
