This whole gender hypocrisy isn't limited to Rochelle. Prince, Suyyash, Yuvika, Aman, etc. ALL subscribe to it. They all use the gender card when it's convenient, regardless of whether or not the issue at hand concerns it.
Regarding her gaali, idk. That's like saying people who say bitch aren't feminists. There's definitely a complexity when it comes to swear words, especially in their contexts and what they imply. Like for example, I think whenever men use the word 'c**t,' it's inherently sexist and demeaning and I'm totally against using that as a swear word myself. It's plays upon the patriarchy and makes vagina's synonymous to horrible people/ things, when they aren't. It propagates an insult to the female form itself. But I don;t think the terms 'mother-f**ker' or 'sister-f**ker' really fall under this. Those terms are based off more upon the taboo of incest rather than putting down women. It's not really an insult to the female form -- it's condemning both parties. So I don't find those words as sexist. BUT, that said, like I said earlier, there's a lot of complexity invovled when discussing swear words, especially when you tie them to stuff like the feminist paradigm.
