Empowered woman - My view and a modern feminist's view

 Certain Modern Feminists view of today's “Empowered Woman” 

– A woman who’s told that empowerment means peppering every sentence with swear words.

– One who’s encouraged to smoke because it supposedly symbolizes rebellion.

– One who’s expected to drink alcohol as a badge of liberation.

– One who’s taught to blame “patriarchy” for every minor inconvenience — from bad weather to traffic jams.

– One who embraces batch-cooking and frozen meals as the only “progressive” lifestyle.

– One who’s pushed to look down upon women who prefer freshly prepared food, as if choosing tradition automatically makes them lesser.

– A woman who is expected to stay perpetually angry at society, wearing victimhood like a proud badge of honour.

– One who must reject anything tied to culture or tradition, automatically labeling it “patriarchal” without a second thought.

– One who is encouraged to fight endlessly for her rights while treating any mention of duty or responsibility as an outdated burden.

My View of a Truly Empowered Woman

An empowered woman is someone who thinks for herself and embraces an independent mind. 

She carries a broad worldview, enriched by curiosity and openness.

She takes on her duties and responsibilities with wholehearted commitment, without ever sidelining her own well-being.

She honours her mental and physical health, understanding that caring for herself strengthens everything else she does. 

She chooses her priorities with clarity and wisdom, and she asserts her opinions with confidence — always rooted in respect.

She engages with traditional wisdom through a spirit of enquiry, seeking depth and understanding rather than blind acceptance. 

She cherishes time with her family, finding joy and grounding in those bonds. 

And above all, she values self-discipline, knowing it is the foundation of growth, balance, and inner strength.
