(This post is based on my observations in Indian society. I make no comments about other parts of the world.)
The Yin (female) and Yang (male) aspects of nature are present and need to stay in balance in every aspect of life, including personal, domestic and social lives.
The corresponding terms in Sanskrit in the context of personal, domestic and social lives are Streetva and Purushatva.
Go back about 40-50 years and we had excessive patriarchy: excessive purushatva and subdued streetva. Feminism stepped in as a correcting force and steadily brought in balance. However, over the last 15 years or so the objective and nature of feminism changed to bring about a female dominated society - which is just as wrong as a male dominated society - instead of a balanced society. Today, this imbalance is openly visible all around us if we just open our eyes and look. One of the strategies to bring about this imbalance has been highly biased anti-men laws that makes it near impossible for men to take any legal course against exploitation in relationships and marriages. I call this perverted avataar of feminism "feminazism".
In case you aren't already, I'm making some resources available below to familiarize you with this phenomenon:
2. India's Sons - a Documentary Movie | India's Sons - a Documentary Movie (Also on ZEE5)
3. Deepika (Narayan) Bhardwaj | LinkedIn (LinkedIn account of Deepika Bhardwaj, an independent journalist and documentary filmmaker who is fighting this menace. Her posts are an eye opener!).
5. Arnaz Hathiram Jain (@ArnazHathiram) / X (Founder: Voice for Men India)
I highly recommend following Deepika and Arnaz's accounts (points 3 and 5 above). They are doing excellent work in addressing this imbalance and will be greatly helped if more people become aware of their work.
