Recently, Sarah Khan opened up about her viral statement on feminism. She took to her Instagram and shared a long note in which she stated that her explanation of feminism is different than others.
Sarah wrote, “When I say I’m not a feminist, I don’t mean that I don’t believe in equality. I absolutely believe in equal respect, equal rights, and equal opportunities for women. What I mean is I’m not today’s version of a feminist. I’m a real, original feminist. An OG feminist. The kind that believes a woman’s strength lies not in imitating men, but in owning her divine femininity. I believe women are powerful enough to be treated like the queens they are respected, cherished, and valued for who they truly are. Women were never meant to labor like machines. We are made to nurture homes, raise empires, build generations, and lead with grace. Look at Hazrat Khadija (RA) a successful businesswoman, yet the epitome of dignity, balance, and womanhood. She had the right to work, and so do we. But she also valued the sacredness of family, of purpose, of faith and never lost herself in the race for external validation.”
She further added, “I don’t understand this mindset that glorifies waking up early to build someone else’s dream in an office, but frowns upon making breakfast for your own husband or raising your own children. Since when did being a devoted wife or a mother become ‘less’? A woman’s role is sacred. She can be educated, driven, ambitious but also gentle, graceful, and rooted. She does not have to choose one over the other. She is allowed to define her own balance. And lastly Feminism shouldn’t mean abandoning femininity. It should mean honoring our choices even if that choice is home, motherhood, softness, and strength wrapped in love. It’s a divine power. Let’s not trade it for a version of strength that forgets who we really are.” Here is the post:
