Mira Rajput rants against feminism at Woman's Day event - Page 5

Before these girls dismiss feminism or through around the term, "femiNazi" , dare I say they should check the history of how we got the rights to vote, work and basically survive?

Which phenomena doesn't get misused, so why is the pressure on feminism to be "perfect". That pressure and scrutiny reeks of chauvinism.

Also, good for her for having the choice and the privilege of staying at home with her baby but she needs to understand that not many have the privilege, choice or the means for the same. Her dismissive tone of the choice some other women make is what people opposed. She also needs to understand because she got the privilege of having a space in a magazine for her views means, it would be debated, discussed and scrutinised , part of the privilege she gets by being an actor's wife.

Just like people use religion for wrong purposes. Or break traffic rules. Or we have miscreants in democracy. If all those institutions can rise above it then why cannot feminism? Ofcourse it was wrong, ofcourse that girl should be punished just like any other offender of any other system.

But can we ignore that feminism is the reason why we moved away from Sati system and towards equality?

exactly. She justified her wanting to stay home by saying she had a baby and not a puppy. Please justify that puppy statement and tell us how that is not insulting to women who work? She could have easily said she just wants to spend as much time as possible with her kid, no one would blame her for that. Hey even admit that you don't need to work because your husband makes mad $$ anyways, at least then she's being honest and acknowledging that she has that luxury where as others don't. I think that is where most people had issues. No one cares if you're a home maker vs a stay at home mom, the fact is you should be able to respect the other side too, and most women do. She insulted them by saying she doesn't think of her child as an animal that needs occasional attention, basically saying those who don't choose to/can't choose to stay at home do. That is why there were 20 pages.

She labeled the WHOLE "new wave of feminism" and generalized it as being aggressive. Being aggressive, persevering and not giving up is what helped get the rights we did. And no, most feminists are not men haters, I don't know why people have that notion.

Saw some comments on twitter regarding this.

If she was a housewife, people are calling her a free loader etc. But a house wife is never free at home and she has her chores to do. Taking care of the kid is a big responsibility in itself. Feminism doesn't mean going to work and contributing to the economy. Mira will be contributing to the society in the way she raises her kid right and teaching them values. Cos half the reason the rape culture has grown is basically on how values arent enforced into their children.
