❖ The Hypocrisy of Candlelight Feminists vs. The Reality of the Working-Class Woman ❖
When candlelight feminists march with posters declaring “Warm your food yourself”,
at that very moment, a working-class woman is often found laboring inside their homes.
She cooks for their husbands and children, tends to their unruly kids,
and beautifies homes that, in truth, these feminists themselves should be maintaining.
This same laboring woman washes their worn clothes,
cleans their dirty dishes, and scrubs their floors,
all so she can earn enough to feed her own children
after returning home with her exhausted body and aching limbs.
❖ I’ve seen a working mother distraught over her sick child,
but unable to leave because her madam is out shopping.
❖ I’ve seen her scolding her toddler while washing dishes,
as the child ran towards the washing machine spinning the feminist’s child’s laundry.
❖ I’ve seen her patiently tolerate the tantrums of privileged children,
while their mothers lounged on the sofa engrossed in phone gossip.
❖ I’ve seen pregnant laborers massaging the legs of exhausted madams trying to nap.
❖ I’ve seen ten-year-old girls pressing school uniforms of others’ children,
while their own eyes longed for an education they couldn’t afford.
❖ I’ve seen signs of physical abuse on that same child’s hands
because she failed to clean the floor to a shine
that would reflect the image of a candlelight feminist.
From fields to kilns, from kitchens to buses,
the working woman toils honestly and tirelessly.
She doesn’t crave the kind of “freedom” feminists chant for,
but rather:
✔ A stable home
✔ A supportive husband
✔ Two meals a day earned with dignity
This is the “prison” of honor that feminists despise
but which the working woman dreams of and sacrifices herself for.
Some among these laboring women are fortunate to possess a modest veil of dignity,
for which they give up everything with gratitude and pride.
Their hypocrisy is evident in their painted faces.
Behind layers of expensive makeup, there is a deep restlessness,
while the simplicity of a working woman radiates with modesty, loyalty, and character.
If these feminists truly fight for women’s rights,
they should start by liberating the oppressed women working in their own homes.
Otherwise, their hypocrisy will only deepen,
distorting both their appearance and their credibility.
