Ha, mening feminizmga bo‘lgan ko‘plab e’tirozlarim bor, lekin shuni aytishim kerakki, boshqalarni feminist deb yorliq yopishtirib, ularni jim qildirish yoki e’tiborsiz qoldirish to‘g‘ri emas. Atrofimizda, hatto oilalarimizda ham ayollarga nisbatan zo‘ravonlik holatlari ko‘p. Bunday zulm fosh etilganda, yordam va adolat uchun qilingan faryodlar feminizm deb rad etilmasligi kerak. Agar ayollarning farovonligi haqida qayg‘urish feminizm bo‘lsa, unda men o‘zimni feminist deb hisoblayman.

Yes, I have my (many) criticisms of feminism, but I have to say that it is not right to silence or dismiss others by branding them feminists. There are many instances of abuse against women all around us and even in our families. And when that abuse is called out, those cries for help and justice shouldn’t be delegitimized by being called feminist. If being concerned for the well-being of women is feminism, then I would count myself as a feminist.

Haqiqatda esa, feminizm ayollarning farovonligiga faqat yuzaki darajada e'tibor beradi. Feminizmning tarixiy taraqqiyoti va tushunchalar genealogiyasini chuqurroq o'rganib qarasangiz, uning ko'p jihatlari ayollarning manfaatlariga zid ekani ayon bo'ladi. Shuning uchun men o'zimni feminist deb hisoblamayman. Ammo falsafiy oqimga ilmiy tanqid bilan ayollarni zo'ravonlikka yo'l qo'yishning bunday nafratli qo'llab-quvvatlanishini farqlay olishimiz kerak.

The reality, however, is that feminism is only superficially concerned with the well-being of women. When you look deeper and study the historical development and conceptual genealogy of feminism, it is apparent how much of it is contrary to women’s interests. So, no, I don’t actually consider myself a feminist. But we need to be able to distinguish an academic critique of a philosophy from this kind of despicable enablement of abuse of women.

Albatta, zo'ravonlik faqat jismoniy bo'lishi shart emas. Hissiy manipulyatsiya ham xuddi shunday, balki undan ham ko'proq zarar yetkazadi.

And abuse is not limited to the physical, of course. Emotional manipulation is equally if not more damaging.
