One idiotic question please-
I will try and answer with my understanding and knowledge. :)
1. Why does women equality or modernism only mean bashing and hating men?
No certainly not. Feminism is advocacy of social equality for men and women in opposition to patriarchy and sexism. It is a theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes. It is mentioned by sociologists, feminists and renowned dictionaries.
2. Why modern women can't drool over a handsome guy? Why does it become a lynchable offence??
They definitely can drool on men and should not suppress their desires.
3. Does it mean that via the feminist movement, women got only the right to be asexual beings who hate men or does it also mean being liberated sexually?
As i mentioned sexual desires are normal for any human being and woman should not be prosecuted for it. Specially radical feminism talks about this issue.
4. What is so offensive and demeaning about women lusting over a handsome hunk in the show or even in the forum?
There s nothing offensive in it. People do pin point the "handsome hunks's" fault, so there should not be any issue with it. More than reel characters personal bashing is disturbing for me. As you have mentioned in some other comment that people don't know anyone personally here, but still prefer to call then psychopaths and hormonal fangirls.
5. We don't create a scene when when men are shown drooling over a gorgeous women.
It is a very interesting point you see. Men are lost in women's beauty and slips water or forgets his surroundings. Its all so romantic for people. But if a women talks something silly and drools over men then it is a problem. And for that too a man is responsible for the forum. Bcz some women were drooling on him, so its his fault and it can be ridiculed in the name of fun posts. 6. Feminism is the right for a woman to be herself, to identify her desires and fulfil them. When did the definition get so distorted?
it is basically advocacy of women rights on the grounds of equality of sexes.
