Every individual holds personal values that either complement or contradict those of others. Consent, when given within a framework of complementing values, is natural and moral. However, when consent arises amidst contradicting values, it becomes unnatural and potentially immoral.
Society is a diverse collective of ever-evolving perspectives. What is currently deemed unnatural by societal standards may be labeled immoral and punished, while what aligns with the prevailing narrative is considered natural, moral and often rewarded.
In such a landscape, one must learn to navigate life by remaining true to one’s personal values, rather than being swayed by the fluctuating values of others or by transient societal judgments.
Feminism as the New Patriarchy: The Collapse of Moral Balance in Institutions
In its early stages, feminism emerged as a moral force advocating justice, equality and the upliftment of women in a world perceived as patriarchal. But like all ideologies that overextend without accountability, feminism has evolved into a new patriarchy — centralising power in one gender, exempting it from scrutiny and weaponising victimhood to influence laws, institutions and public sentiment.
What we face today is not gender justice, but gender imbalance in a new form — one where selective outrage replaces fairness and legal systems are twisted by narratives rather than facts.
The Moral Erosion in Judiciary, Parliament and Administration
Presumption of guilt now often overrides due process, especially in cases involving women. Judges are pressured by public sentiment, not always guided by evidence.
Law enforcement personnel frequently register cases without critical inquiry, fearing backlash from media or political actors.
Instead of reforming biased laws, many political parties push for harsher punishments and more gender-specific protections — often to please vote banks rather than uphold justice.
When one voice is prioritised over another purely based on identity, democracy becomes mob rule dressed as progress.
Equal Punishment for Equal Harm
A person who commits a crime against women or children must face rigorous punishment. Such actions violate the core fabric of trust and safety in society. But equally, a person who fabricates such charges must face the same punishment — because they exploit the very laws designed to protect.
False allegations are not mere missteps — they are crimes. They destroy reputations, careers, families and even lives. More dangerously, they weaken public trust in actual victims, casting a shadow of doubt over real cases.
Punishment is not a reward to victims. It is a moral correction — a restoration of balance in the societal fabric. When punishment is biased, lenient, or selectively applied, it creates space for new crimes to emerge under the guise of justice.
Silence is Complicity
Ignoring the misuse of special provisions is not neutrality — it is a form of complicity. When justice is selectively applied, injustice multiplies. Special laws must come with special scrutiny. Rights without responsibilities are not justice — they are privilege.
Society must evolve toward humanism, where accountability is mutual, rights are reciprocal and protections do not create new oppressions. Only then can we move beyond patriarchies of the past and present and build systems rooted in fairness and truth.
