@return_to_hades - Love reading your comments. They are bang on and couldn't agree more!

Says the one who criticised Jaya Bachchan for eating samosas at a cafe instead of being by her husband's side on release of Piku's first look. 😉

Men always have something to laugh about.

Some men are loving #MyChoice video and saying it's great if Indian women become like that, because it's harder to have affairs with them or get rid of them (getting divorce). If women sleep around even outside marriage by their own choice then #win for willing men also. After all, how many women are going to have sex with only another woman? Men also have greater "chance" then. It's win win for many of them. 😆

^ Deepika sure as hell ain't my idol. But that doesn't mean she can't do positive things in life.

Of course many women choose the good girl plan because thats what appeals to them.

I have said several times, I do not condone infidelity. I also think Sushmita is wrong in having affairs with men she clearly knows are married. She totally deserves some criticism for it. As a whole person she has done a lot of good as well. It is not fair to dismiss all of her opinions for that.

I don't think my definition is all that extreme, because Sushmita aside - it is evident that people have scant respect for women who do not fit the mold.

Not all sexually active women are engaging in infidelity or cheating. Some have sex because they enjoy it. Some have sex because they are in love with their partner.

Not all women who drink, smoke or even try drugs are causing harm to others. Many know not to drive under the influence. Many are highly aware of various risks and take precaution.

Unfortunately, for many people if you are sexually active or engage in certain habits like drinking you have automatically become inherently immoral and that view is highly problematic.

My philosophy is simple. And it harm none, do as you will. f**k a hundred people or be a virgin. Drink like a fish or be a teetotaler. Smoke like a chimney or wear a smog mask.

No action is inherently immoral. We also have to remember that not all harm is intended. Good intentions have bad consequences and bad intentions have good consequences.

So just because all of those things mentioned by you were 'negative' in your opinion, she can't do anything positive in her life? What analogy! Each human has done negative things in life...doesn't mean they can't do anything positive. And to think her depression is fake, that's just so plain disgusting. But as the trend continues to go, #yourchoice.

If you keep trying to explain yourself or defend your opinion... soon you'll find yourself bagging ur head against the wall

Deepika wrecked both causes of mental health and woman empowerment with this poorly scripted video.

Smug Bolly gang still thinks they made a masterpiece.

But refuse to open eyes on responses and after effects.

Many related her depression to #MyChoice type lifestyle. Some (including academics) called depression a result of such choices, others stereotyped such choices as those of depressed people. It fostered stereotypes on mental health.

You know you have failed as a communicator and know nothing about audience if your message is such an epic fail and worsens issues than solving them.

Thanks to this video, first time apparently biased laws are also being discussed. Adultery law, filing rape case after premarital sex (you can do so because sex on pretext of marriage is considered rape by Indian law, so some girls do it willingly but cry rape if boy doesn't agree to marry), difficulty in getting paternity test, no punishment for woman if she files fake case etc.
MRA sites are jubilant and are giving MRA of the year title to her, because this video did what no MRA was able to do all these years.

This was a BLOW to both causes, especially those of women with its stupid wording.

And these filmi loons are being bashed for what they churn out and promote. Yet they think they did something great.

Choice word itself has become a joke now.

No way am I going to blame the public only. Women's empowerment was a cause that was the most important social issue in India of late along with religious freedom. Mostly people accept any discourse on this issue and even those who didn't take it seriously earlier, felt compelled to make it a priority. But this video proved to be detrimental. Like a ditch or speed breaker of sorts.

But this woman, Vogue and their supporters can keep deluding themselves into thinking they did something great and keep giving themselves a pat on the back.
🤢

Keep barking that anyone who criticised the video has no opinion of his own or is just a troll or hater. Whereas in reality even Indian feminists are having trouble thanks to this video and have trashed it.
