The New F-Word?
We often see the world with unrelenting lucidity. Perhaps ironically, the concepts that lie outside of our understanding only bathe in the semi-tinted shade of neon-lit familiarity.
'Feminism' elicits – almost mechanically – frames as far as the bra-burning '60s and as close as #ShePersisted. But, despite a thriving cultural metamorphosis, feminine supremacy, dramatised complaints and raging extremists orchestrate the notes to a chronically blistered stereotype.
However, the yellow crime scene tape around this movement is not coincidental. Being detached both from the real and ideal, teenagers find themselves unwilling to carry a label this unfamiliar and join a misinterpreted 'mob mentality.'
In a world as interwoven as ours, it's unsurprising that polarised battle hymns compress a movement this spectral into a blemished umbrella term. But is the war against cookie-cutter images viable? Even if the Feminist Mystique loses its household familiarity? Why is a movement of progress the new F-word?
As we stand an exact two years away from the 110th International Women's Day, many of us draw our identities from feminist dimensions. At the same time, others shy away. Some may say that sexism doesn't exist, that 18th century constructs are obsolete, that Sheryl Sandberg was enough. Even so, is any society in this world truly ever obliterated of prejudice? The movement that seems far from our reality is, in actuality, ingrained into the typical teenager's world – whether that is in sexist school dress codes, catcalling at construction sights, thinly veiled suggestions to behave more "lady-like," segregated PE lessons or female-dominated art classes.
The heroes in this narrative are, therefore, not always those over-glorified by their 140 character tweets. Instead, the halo wafts over the toddler that gave up Barbies to play in the boys' little league (cue montage of a miniature Viola Hastings in She's The Man), the girl that wore a tux to prom, and the women that conquer STEM fields.
A true understanding of modern feminism begins with those that live it; it begins with the voice of a teenager and the patience of the world. As our locker aligned hallways discourage us from standing out, there are few willing to protest, metaphorically or otherwise, prejudice in the ordinary life. With the piercing expectations of society bearing over us, even the "tomboy" (pause, for a moment, at the irony in that term) is pulled from the field and shoved in stilettos while others are ostracised for wearing "anti-feminist" lipstick. A real, concrete understanding of feminism empowers us to speak out– to embrace our individual identities in a world that champions the opposite.
We often hear "overreaction" in synonym with "feminism."It is, therefore, this ability to speak against the accepted that challenges not simply sexist rhetoric but also the outrage for a movement that is, at its root, a plea for equality. It allows us to question "women's" magazines for which size two women are the only women or social campaigns for which 24 inch waistlines are artificial.
We must reach from awareness to empathy and from empathy to action because the threat to a progressive, equal society is becoming dangerously real.
As us teenagers stand, right at the zebra crossing, before the boardwalk of adulthood, it is our understanding of equality and our projection of it that moulds the future of feminism.
And, thus, in spite of what the world asks, I know that unless I truly want to, I will never "go to the kitchen" and make anyone "a sandwich."

MS Dhoni's car runs over fan's bag, what happens next will SURPRISE you
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is idolised by millions the world over. Not just his success on the field but his demeanour off it, along with his small-town vibe, strike a cord with one and all.
Even though he doesn't belong to Mumbai or has never represented the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, the loudest cheer is reserved for him whenever he comes over to play in the Maximum City. That's just one example of the unparalleled fan-following Mahi enjoys.
Naturally then, when Dhoni is in his home town Ranchi, the hysteria is at another level. And a glimpse of that was on display when a young girl got into a scuffle with the security, as the former India captain landed at Ranchi’s Birsa Munda Airport on Tuesday.
As the girl was waiting with many others, Dhoni quickly got into his car to leave for his home. Just then, the girl got away and went and stood right in front of her idol's car, wanting to click a selfie with him. The security present there was prompt and pulled the girl away, however, as they did that, the girl's bag fell off and got run over by Dhoni's SUV as he was driving away.
The gentleman that he is, Mahi quickly realised what had happened and immediately stopped his car and asked if the young girl was all right.
Here are pictures from that incident:(Photo credit: PTI)(Photo credit: PTI)
This incident comes close on the heels of another similar one that had occurred recently when Dhoni was in Mumbai. With a three-match ODI series against England coming up, the India A team was playing a practice game against the visitors at the Brabourne Stadium. Dhoni had just announced that he was not going to lead the Men in Blue anymore and the fans' emotions were running high.
As Mahi was batting at the crease, a fan jumped over the fence at the boundary, sprinted straight to his hero, and touched his feet. Dhoni was benevolent as always and shook hands with the youth before security whisked him away.

Kristen Stewart intrigues in supernatural horror Personal Shopper
Personal Shopper puts so much effort into not being your typical supernatural horror film that it almost forgets it’s a supernatural horror film.It opens with a familiar scene, a young attractive woman (Kristen Stewart in this case) wanders around a scary old house, following the sound of dripping taps and creaky door handles. But this time, she wants to find a ghoul, even calling out its name, willing it to appear and scare the bejesus out her.
Her character Maureen, a self-described medium, has recently lost her twin brother Lewis, a man who was so convinced there is another realm that he promised to send her a sign when he gets there. So Maureen hangs around Paris, the city where he died, working as a personal shopper to a monstrous socialite, keeping watch for his supernatural message.
Directed by Olivier Assayas (who also wrote and directed Stewart in The Clouds of Sils Maria), the story is predictable and daft, but constructed with such studied Euro-cool that it feels a bit like watching The Girl on the Train directed by Lars Von Trier.
Stewart is the beating heart of this pretty, cold affair. Her despondent delivery – so rankling in the Twilight films – is delicious here, especially when she’s delivering deadpan absurdities such as “she just vomited up this ectoplasm and left.”
Stewart’s phone also puts in a solid performance; she watches seances on it, uses it for research and even has a full 20-minute iMessage conversation on it, leaving the viewer to peer at what’s happening on a small screen on a big screen.
Stewart’s performance elevates a very ordinary film into something intriguing, but anyone expecting a supernatural horror will come out with a bad case of buyer’s remorse. Reported by City A.M. 4 days ago.
