Q: I would like to know what is feminism and how do we protect ourselves from it?
A: Our understanding of feminism is talking about women's rights. When people generally speak about women's rights today they confuse themselves by saying that they should be equal in all respects. Whereas the Qur'aan Shareef says that men have a degree over women in responsibility and authority. This level is given to them because of them being stronger in every respect and taking care of women. Perhaps those who are for gender equality are too coward to take on responsibilities of women and therefore say that they are equal so that they can take care of themselves and we have no responsibilities towards them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
