No pravachans from Mrs Funny bones?? - Page 3

Twinkle is one of the most annoying people but she can say whatever she wants. It's her right and freedom. Why do people get so triggered by what other people think?

She won't cause any controversy right now anyway because Akshay's film is up for release. Irritating bhakts right now is not the way to go.

Big difference between SAYING and treating the person who is doing karwachauth as an idiot......If someone mocks me....I will tear her apart...that is MY RIGHT.....no one is stopping Twinkle to say anything...why would we......but she should be ready for the brickbats if what she is doing is MOCKERY....

I don't know why people want us to just listen to her trash our intelligence and do nothing...why and why shouldn't we give it back to her......and yes I disagree on the name calling or abusing her family that happened....but when u mock someone.....be ready....because there are trolls too...who will use everything against you.....sad but true....but I am not defending those trolls....I am defending myself because I never abused her family..

I am all for a healthy debate on Karwachauth....vs diet/exercise..👍🏼

Pravachans or not, Karwachauth is still regressive and no one can deny that.

Ok. I will give the pravachan.

Replace any names with X and Y.

1. If X fasts Y's lifespan does not increase. Any belief that the lifespan increases is balderdash.

2. Hypothetically, even if X can increase Y's lifespan by fasting, there is zero good reason why X should suffer for Y's benefit.

3. Even if X suffered and extended Y's lifespan, what if later Y is alive and bitter and alone.

4. If X and Y made a commitment based on equity then any fasting or life-extending should be mutual and not exclusive to X or Y.

5. The only time X or Y or any third party Z should fast is if they have a medical procedure like a blood test that requires overnight fasting.

6. If X or Y or any third party Z are masochists who feel joy, fulfillment, and sense of community by ritual fasting then they have full and complete freedom to do so. But don't bullshit around it. Admit that you are masochists who love to join other masochists in the thralls of ritual fasting.

If u start dissecting almost every thing that we observe in any religion will come out as regressive....and I am all for throwing out that part of our culture and traditions and religion that hurt someone else or the person observing it......but there are some sweet ones too....like karwachuth and Rakshabandhan that hurt no one.....but people these days have to find fault with every little thing.....which I find very annoying and irritating...everything has become man vs woman...🤓

The basis for my arguments is that if someone is doing it out of love.....they are not suffering like u said....like I said if its FORCED on u its bad.....but for millions of us who are not being forced...but still do it because we want to .....how is it bad.....I am not going around asking anyone else to do it....I am not suffering in the process...I just feel happy and satisfied....why should anyone have objection to that??

What a load of crap !

Let X and Y do whatever they want , follow whatever religion they want , follow whatever religious rituals they want to .. If it brings peace and joy to them , who are we to decide anything on their behalf ? ..

Whatever happened to live and let live .. As long as no one is "forced" into anything , these kind of regressive judgments by self proclaimed feminists is completely uncalled for and a violation of basic human rights granted to us by our secular nation ..

I swear irrational feminazis claim to be liberals/ forwards but they have the most regressive extremist mindset .. They are no better than orthodox assholes ..

Religions come out as regressive because they were created in regressive times. Festivals like Karwachauth and 'Raksha' Bandhan promote the idea of women being inferior to men, so I don't see anything sweet in it.

Its the mindset that sees it as regressive.....for me karwachauth and Rakshabandhan is a celebration of love for my husband and my brothers...who will do anything to see me happy.

I think sentiments of such festivals change with time! ... Like with Rakshabandhan it's more of sibling bond and love, my cousin even celebrated it with two of her girls. It's cute. On one hand you're instilling tradition yet changing the sentiment to fit today's time! .. There's nothing wrong in following traditions which bring joy and happiness. If religion and traditions are regressive and everything is scrapped, imagine how dull our lives would get! ... Traditions don't have to be regressive as long as you move with time!

Even with Karwachauth, I'll do it my way so it fits today's time without touching or considering my husband my God. It'll be more of a celebration of love between husband and wife ... not to mention many husbands also fast along with their wives!

So I feel traditions can be kept intact .. as long sentiments change with time!

But like many said live and let live and let everyone bring their own sentiments for such celebrations!
