I get the feel it's just a matter of time we're gonna get our very own 'Bruce Jenner'. LOL!!!!! Can you imagine the look on the faces of our Granthis and leaders? LOL!!!!!!!!

This is what happens when minorities in western nations are raised on a steady diet of liberalism which is a self defeating ideology.

To bring more context to that line:

How do the worlds of Sikhi and feminism intersect for you and for Kaur Life?

For me, Sikhi and feminism are one in the same; Sikhi is feminist. Sikhi believes in equality and fairness for everyone, regardless of gender and believes in the inherent value of each person. The Guru Granth Sahib is feminist in that it grants women equal rights and the Sikh Gurus elevated women to a high social status.

One of the social goals of the Khalsa, just like a goal of feminism, I feel, is to establish equal rights and opportunities for all people by creating an environment where every person can reach his/her fullest social and spiritual potential.

To bring more context to that line:

That makes more sense to be fair, but the Kaur in question seems smart enough to realise how the original ideal of feminism has strayed incredibly far from those lofty ideals. In my humble opinion, the term feminism as its widely known today carries negative connotations, and to equate it with Sikhi sends completely the wrong message. Egalitarianism sounds about right, but then that wouldn't have been a catchy title for her article, hehe.

Typical tumblr feminism...next!

Most modern feminists deny the fact men and women are fundamentally different. Very myopic and skewed world view of what equality really is.
