This is the need of the hour. Swami Vivekananda had said that no nation could sustain itself without giving importance to the contribution of women. The development of various social and economic works is not possible without their cooperation.
In a male-dominated society, the female class is ignored. . If poverty is to be eradicated, inequality is to be made in society. The contribution of women mustn't be neglected. Rather, the fact should be accepted that men cannot work efficiently in their respective fields without the cooperation of women.
In a country like India, where agriculture continues to dominate the economy, the contribution of women can be denied. Even today, women are seen as consumers. In any country of the world, whether developed or underdeveloped, women make their creative contributions in various fields. Today any work is incomplete without their cooperation, whether it is the field of the primary business or secondary and tertiary businesses.
For example, the role of women is very effective in the cultivation of rice; they are more efficient than men in re-planting the plants. The geography of paddy-dominated areas cannot be written ignoring their cooperation. Women cannot be considered a symbol of providing comfort to men, making the house's atmosphere pleasant, treating them as helpers.
Today's woman is not a consumer but a producer. Femininity Geography looks at women from this point of view. He has started giving equal importance to the role of women in eradicating regional inequalities, solving problems like poverty, hunger, balanced development of the environment, proper exploitation, and distribution of resources, as much as it is given to men.
The word human has been used in geography concerning men. Although even today, every geographical description smacks a male-dominated society. The role of women in the works from primitive man to present man has either been denied, or it has been considered secondary.

2) Radical Feminism
But what is this? Everyone must have heard about feminism. Most people do not know about its philosophy and principles; any debate or discussion on feminism is meaningless without knowing and understanding it completely. Knowing these principles has become even more important now after the changes brought about by women in Indian society after neo-liberalism.

However, with time, socialist feminists have become more firm on the proposition that there will be definite changes in women's lives after the socialist revolution. They also look at gender discrimination very aggressively. Nevertheless, socialist/Marxist feminists are always conscious of how society is divided on the basis of class, caste and race. Gender plays an important role in perpetuating this divide. All these structures of society are intertwined and equally destructive. Socialist feminism, equating it with liberals, sees men as all of them. Therefore, the role of men in any transformational movement is important in his view.
