If Casteism and Communalism are bad, what makes feminism a good thing? Why don't we oppose all those who divide the society on any lines -Caste, Religion or Gender?
P.S: Hope to see a healthy "Essay" discussion on this topic! No personal vendetta, gender-biased or insensitive comments please.
Feminism works to undermine the prevalent patriarchy and thereby works to achieve an egalitarian society. However some obnoxious hyper-feminists (misandrists) do vitiate the healthy discourse.
Casteism, communalism divide, exclude and often oppress. Feminism-liberal, egalitarian and progressive-unites by ensuring the upliftment and empowerment of a hitherto subjugated section, the female sex.
Feminism creates a wild-life society as it treats free sex and commodification of women as FREEDOM of women. Thus it helps in polluting the minds of coming generations and thereby undermines family system. It also helps in increasing sexual crimes on one side by promoting lust in society and then does drama by saying people as patriarchal.
It also treats those women as slaves who work in family (house wives) because it publicizes that women working at home are dis-empowered and women blindly running after money and doing jobs are empowered.
Whereas a patriarchal society supports respect for women supporting their home and condemns those women who promote indecency by their so called MODERNITY.
It is because of the propaganda of feminism that many developed countries have virtually turned into BROTHELS because their schools and colleges have become sex centres (7.5 lakh girls become pregnant in USA during teenage, many of them in early 13-14 too). Their divorces rates are as high as 50%. And the number of children indulged in sexual crimes are increasing by leaps and bounds in those countries (and also in India in the name of FREEDOM).
Kids in USA/UK have become porn addicts and rapes per 100000 population in those countries bypasses India but their media is not such RAPE-CENTRED as ours is.
Feminism is much greater disease than any other problem as it directly breaks the entire family system and people who are brainwashed by main-stream media views blindly support it without looking at the problems it has created.

It reminds me of class 10 when this discussion took place in my class.I hope you too have copied it from NCERT 10 Pol Sci book from Unni Munni cartoon.
The only one thing I hate about this movement is that it often turns into "Men vs Women" rest I think there is strong need for this specially in countryside rural folk.
Politically Casteism and communalism are negative concept whereas feminism is the positive concept.
Scientifically When we talk about a subject then we need to identify the factors which helps us in determining the overall dimensions of the subject. Hence there could be various factors whose inclusion/exclusion either can have negative impact on the subject or positive.
Feminism is such a dimension of the society which results in advocating the very half of a societies deprived rights.
Similar we can add further theories, analogies into that.

You summed it up, Arindam , exactly what I wanted to say. Feminism is distinct from misandry. For example, the actor Patrick Stewart is a prominent male feminist who works against domestic abuse(his mother is an abuse survivor) and for equal wages for women.
