9 female Actors need to google feminism - Page 3

Instead of googling Feminism , the article writer needs to understand feminism .. as much as hate to admit it , feminism as it is today cannot be defined by its textbook definition ..

If I had a nickel every time I quoted text book definition of feminism while arguing with self proclaimed feminists , well I would have had way too many nickels .. 😆 .. every time I quoted the definition , I got a classic " you know nothing Jon Snow" .. 😆 .. according to them , feminism is an ever evolving social concept & it cannot be defined by its text book definition .. every feminist identifies & defines feminism in his/her own way depending on what it means to him/her .. it is in fact a spectrum & cannot be bound within the boundaries of a text book definition .. I tried ( & failed ) to make them understand the dangers of existence of such a spectrum .. but the fact remains , the way you identify feminism may not be the way someone else identifies feminism .. it is all very very subjective .. the evolution of feminism has reduced it to a regressive concept ..no wonder there is so much aversion to being labeled as a "feminist" ..


However , I am kind of shocked to see some of the most strong independent women in the list shying away from the term "feminist" .. truly goes on to prove that text book feminism/ sane feminism / Emma Watson brand of feminism has been tarnished due to rabid insane feminism.. and I am pretty sure rabid feminists are going to blame internalized sexism pertaining to a patriarchal society instead of looking into the multiple interpretations / definitions / spectrum of modern feminism .. 😆

no wonder kalki and anurag got divorce
kalki is harcore feminist and anurag is anti feminist . 😆

No one needs to Google feminism.

When people speak against feminism, they are not speaking against the text book feminism but the stupid over the top radical feminism.
People look into semantics of the word and not the context too much.

Guys the original and simple definition of feminism according Merriam Webster is:

the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities

I don't understand how anyone can detach themselves from being a feminist. It's simply wanting equal rights. All the other notions are just stereotypes. It's not about male-bashing and burning bras. I think in the context of their sentences, they say they're not feminists but want liberation and equality---aka feminism. So if comes across as ignorance. Then they should have worded it better.

I think when these actresses say 'they are not Feminist'

They mean to imply - 'They don't hate men'

Read all of their answers n you would know why they don't want to be called Feminist.

I don't see it's their fault. Media and society, everywhere the term 'feminism' has become synonym for Female against Male.

And that is the reason these actresses have issue being called 'feminist'

The actual Text book concept of Feminism has been butchered. So I don't really blame them.

And anyway, I believe You really don't have to announce it to world. It's in your attitude.

Like a boss! 😎
