It shouldn't, but in many cases it has. What it should mean is true equality in terms of the value society places on us and equal opportunity. People don't know how to do that, which is a pity. Right now we are in transition - women participate in the workforce, but are still expected to do most of the "domestic" work too, and what's happening is the children are suffering. They have no direction or guidance anymore. But the answer is not to send women home, but to adjust. Responsibilities should be shared more. And society needs to support the family (whatever that means) more. Let's empower everyone! Empowerment equals responsibility.

I think (I'm not sure even a 75%) that women were not allowed to do stuff like that during periods because back in the day women did not have pads, therefore it meant the period blood would just soak through clothes and get everywhere. It would be pretty gross to clean all that up, and that's probably why they were not allowed to do all those stuff, but today that practice may have just become tradition. I think women who wear pads can stop the tradition, while the others should kinda continue..

No it doesn't mean those things. I'm sorry you've been abused by some women and 'the system'. I hope you can see your child(ren) on a very regular basis, both for you and for your child(ren). It sounds like you've been through the ringer.
Women's empowerment means equal protection under the law, including justice from female judges. Women are 51% of the population; therefore, judges should be ~51% female.
Women's empowerment means that women are no longer the butt of sexually derogative, demeaning statements / jokes by male employers and co-workers.
Women's empowerment means that women are not the standard scapegoats, as they're 'easy' targets. It means that if there is a problem with a male colleague, the woman is not the one who has to 'move on' to another job...etc.

No. None of those things, and you know it. Why are you so "against" the empowerment of women? Is it because deep down you feel threatened by it, like you may lose your "place of privilege" in the world if women were allowed equal footing? "Women empowerment" means giving women the same rights and privileges men have, nothing more, nothing less. Sounds fair to me, so why do you object? Because you want to keep women in their place of subjugation, because you think only men are
deserving of equal consideration and equal rights. Isn't that right?
EDIT--"MM"--I have read a lot of his other question and answers, so I am speaking from the context of his own personal opinion...are you? No, you're speaking from yours. Also, he is from India, and I framed my response in the context of what's going on in that country. As for the whole "women have too much power" thing, it's been done to death here, and I just don't have the energy anymore.

The empowerment of women is solely to teach women that they have a right to "choose". It teaches them that they don't "have to" stay in an abusive relationship if they want to improve their own lives.
Quite often, small-minded men, who want to continue beating women without controversy, will dispute their empowerment by calling them names.
A small-minded man who does not want to see women "fight back" will call her a "male-basher" for wanting out. Meanwhile he has probably beat her to a pulp and does not want to see her leave, so he'll do anything, and call her horrid names, for wanting a better life for herself and possibly her children.
Equality is merely a big word (for you) for women who want to be treated human.
I've worked with abused women, I've seen horrid things that have happened to them... Amidst it all, all she ever hoped for (hopelessly) was that he love her and change his evil ways...
Women's empowerment teaches her that "the only way she can improve her own life is solely up to her".

Unfortunately it does. What's even sadder is women don't even seem to realize what men are really suffering from today.
Wendy: I don't think he's against empowerment of women per se. The way I see it, women have become so empowered to the point where now it's the men who have the short end of the stick. Do you consider that equality?
