Was Kabir Singh a feminist? - Page 4

That's my point on patriarchy, women are conditioned to be submissive--I mean look at the whole concept of Thappad. She never had a voice, Kabir totally caged her into "love" and she's a victim of his abuse and doesn't know it. And you accept her to stand up but this film was written by a MCP and directed by MCP so yeah I doubt that was going to happen.

She never stood up for herself , neither to Kabir nor her family .

Did we saw the same movie?

Preeti stood up against her family, it was that Kabir was in morphine dream, that in anger she went and married that Sikh guy, and than when she realised she just wanted Kabir, she left that guy. I mean, Preeti was basically a silent Kabir Singh, or idolizing and loving him made her one. I mean we all talk about how obsessed he was with her, that we tend to overlook how obsessed she became about him.

I think we should stop looking at Preeti as some weak person, she became as determined and stubborn as Kabir as their relationship went on. She in my opinion, basically got a certain kind of wild freedom which she never got with her family, it was a freedom within Kabir's psychological captivity a Stockholm kinda thingy. IMO, at the end of the day Preeti was a non agressive and non destructive version of Kabir Singh. She just like Kabir Singh, punished herself, distanced herself from the world and was still thinking about Kabir only.

Obviously her obsession with Kabir can't be seen as something healthy in real life, but it was at the end of the day Venga's mindset, where he thinks partners hitting each other and thinking they own each other is okay.

1. He treated everyone the same way. Whether its male or female (like an absolute trash).

2. Is okay with getting slapped by his girlfriend and is even ready to slap her when she becomes spineless.

3. Didn't want to get Preeti like a trophy. Wanted her to fight with her family for him.

This guy totally believes in equality. So why do feminists hate him?

Feminism isn't about the right to be treated like shit from people like Kabir Singh.

1 The basic thing one expects in a relationship is respect, I don't think any individual be it a man or woman goes in to a relationship hoping their partners treat everyone like trash

2 Domestic Violence / Violence is a crime not a right

Kabir Singh was a pathetic drug abusing, narcissistic, violent man

Preety slapping him makes her a violent human being, it does not make Kabir Singh a feminist

This movie had nothing to do with Feminism or misogyny for that matter
