What Does Feminism Mean To The Generation Z?
Does the apple fall very far from the tree or not? What do words like “Feminism” and ” Machoism”, hold for the Millennials or even the Centennials also known as the Generation Z?
Is Feminism an unnecessary term in the Generation Z as they are already being brought up in a liberated world with way more things to focus on than heavy terms like such. I have called this generation the ‘Popcorn Generation’ many times because of the time span anything holds their attention.

Which basically means they prefer spending more time on their gadgets than enjoying experiences. This makes me wonder are they living in a virtual world vs the real one?
Yes, it’s always easy to be on the other side of the fence and be judgemental and since we were celebrating #WomensMonth this entire month of March, this time I decided to interview someone from that generation and understand their view point.

Here is a short and wonderful interview with Ariana Gupta, a 17-year-old, author of the popular book ‘New Age Fairy Tales’, a Tedx Speaker, to discuss this with and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

I am really impressed with Ariana, she is having so deep thoughts and skills in this early age. I really love the way she shared her view about feminism. worth watching .
I have never thought of feminism as being something that different generations, treat differently. You have offered an interesting perspective here.
Today many women think feminism is some sort of tool to dominate men! It is not! Feminism is all about gender equality, about walking hand in hand towards progress! And yes, we should not forget the men in feminism…
Feminism means many things to different people and it would be interesting to know what the informed and knowledgeable young generation feels about it!
I agree with her thought feminism is not just about for women its about men as well. We need to break the stereotype and patriarchy from the early childhood. Men being head of the family, men eat first and then women is something now old fashion. All are equal thats feminism.
The present scenario women’s equality in all spheres of life. Girls and boys should be brought up without any disparity. As discussed, it is not always only about women and feminism. Lovely interview!
It was amazing to know about her thoughts about the generation which she belongs to and even her previous one. She truly is an inspiration to many of the young girls out there.
That’s a very thoughtful post. I saw the video and I must say it’s so motivating for all the women. Hats off to her.
Feminism indeed have a different meaning for different age groups. I love the way Ariana Gupta express her views at young age of 17. Impressive
That’s a very nice interview to enjoy. It’s great to know that how a new gen member think about Feminism.
Feminism has different definition and meaning to different set of people. I just wish the real meaning does not get lost as every body perceive it differently. Great post.
I think that generation z understands the true meaning of feminism. Well written post.
I quite agree with what Ariana has mentioned as her opinion about Feminism. Even I am very much in favor of equality in genders. Feminism is vast term but we only can decide what’s the meaning by conscious judicious thinking
So true… These are some really nice opinion Ariana. Feminism is still really big topic to discuss. It is so nice that people are started talking about it?..
