Rekha writes, “Why do you need feminism? Why that word?” “You have all your rights. Why do YOU need to be a feminist?” “Women like us dont need to call ourselves feminists.” “You pseudo-feminist. You don’t have to face half the trouble some other women have to, and you call yourself a feminist?” Time and again, questions like these get thrown at me. Time and again, people try to convince me that I don’t need feminism. That it is Wrong (yes, with a capital W) to call myself a feminist. Feminism has become another f-word that shouldnt be uttered out loud.
