Confusion

It pinches ,hurts demotivates and lets me down when formally educated individuals perplex themselves with basic concepts of feminism and liberalism. Any thinking individual,when raises voice against all kinds of opression, repression and cruelties– Men's opression againts women, mob of fanatics lynching a student, a student proudly murdering principal, woman suffering because of an egoist and supreme male and the catalogue goes on–he is called a desi liberal or feminist,usually in a sarcastic tone. I have seen people calling liberalism something anti-religious. I have observed a few decent individuals ridiculing and sarcasting people for such humanistic views.Liberal isn't an anti-religious person,literally speaking, he is the one who believes in religious and economic freedom for all the portions of society. Feminist isn't the person who demands equality for the womenfolk by all means.He wants woman to be protected from gender biased approach, he wants them to be educated and enlightened, he wants them to be respected as a human not as commidity or mere an object to satiate the carnal appetites.
It looks extremely ironical when such enlighted person speaks for the rights of specific community or political association, he is appreciated. With exactly the same thought and approach, he criticizes the same community or association for their wrongdoings; all hell breaks loose. While living in foreign countries we, Pakistanis, demand liberal and secular laws to get ourselves and our women protected from the same opression and inequality that we inflict here in Pakistan.
