Intersectional feminism and women empowerment

Children normally inherit their parents' traits and genetics; such as eye color, height, skin pigmentation, etc.

Normality becomes abnormality when parents try to impose their way of viewing things, their mentality and also their personal beliefs on their children.

The environment in which we live and society play a significant role in maintaining imposed collective values. We are conditioned to conform to the majority in attitude, behavior, ideas and principles. Otherwise, we are considered a threat to others and are therefore alienated.

Culture, religion and tradition, promote male superiority consciously and unconsciously in all possible fields; salaries, professional and academic opportunities, leadership, rights and expectations in everyday life. On the one hand, it is normal for the man to be an engineer, politician, researcher, policeman or pilot. On the other hand, the same previously mentioned roles when assigned to women arouse doubts about their abilities and merits.

Unfortunately, I was raised in a culture that views feminism as a "dangerous trend" and patriarchy as the norm. I was expected to live up to stereotypes of masculinity, aggression, misogyny, harshness, emotion suppression, and a firm, sonorous voice since I was assigned the gender of male at birth.

It is not expected of a man to stand up for women's rights; it is unusual, odd, and even taboo. As I got older, I developed my own mindset, grew more independent, and progressively broke away from the rigid ideas of society.

I read a lot about the topic, watched documentaries, volunteered for feminist organizations, and empowered women . Nawal El Saadawi's books were the ones that most influenced me.

I made the decision to identify as a feminist and uphold my own values despite the fact that it is not popular. People find it difficult when a man stands up for women's rights. To put it briefly, it is natural to fight for your rights, but it takes bravery and humanity to fight for the rights of others.
