Khanak- a woman's prerogative - Page 3

Interesting post, Rooj.

Khanak is a role model? Hmmm... but it would b nice if they show in future episodes, that Shaan can be a role-model toofor a good husband, and educate Khanak.

Didn't know being a feminist is such a bad thing. I am a feminist and am proud of it. Feminism stood for so many things, not least of which was women's empowerment in all senses. We are all educated women here, and for us to laugh at such a great movement in history called feminism is just very sad. To celebrate Khanak's 'achievement' , is there a need to make fun of feminists and feminism?

Here is a wiki link on feminism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

People here disagree with this? What exactly does feminism mean, to people in this forum? I would be much obliged if someone could clarify.

Forgive me if that laughter abt feminism was supposed to be a joke and I didn't get it. I am not that clever. Sorry.

Rooj,

I do not wish to take attention away from the main topic of this thread. But I do think it is important to know what can be joked about and what cannot be. I could have written this in a PM to you but I want to communicate to all members here...

Members who read posts in this forum come from ages as young as 14. They may not comment, many may be silent readers but they do read. Not all of them will be familiar with feminist history, like you are. Because we cannot tell for sure how our comments will be understood, we have to be careful with what we say. (I don't just mean you, I mean each and every one of us).

I do not understand clearly what you mean by feminism being used negatively in the States. I have lived there too, and I have not come across that. Perhaps you can write more in a pm, if you wish to.

Like Shriya said, people misunderstand feminism to be about male-bashing. Feminism is not about male-bashing. Male-bashing is just male-bashing. It is not a movement in history, whereas feminism was and is.

Some women may think they are superior to men. Many men think they are superior to women. We cannot take these people seriously and allow them to disregard important progresses made in human history.

When someone identifies herself as a feminist, what she means is that she believes men and women are equal, and women should not discriminated upon just because of their gender (that is, saying things like 'you are a woman, therefore you cannot do this'). Feminists believe women have equal right to property, and access to all resources that have been historically denied to them (education, health etc).

I am not suggesting that everyone here declare themselves to be feminists. But I also believe that we women owe it to ourselves not to make fun of all those women who came before us, fought for our rights - to go to college, to inherit property, to vote in elections, to not get beaten up at home, to equal pay, etc...

In short, what I mean to say is this- the discussion about Khanak being a role-model can happen without making declarations of pro-feminism or anti-feminism. It is irrelevant to the discussion on hand, and is not something to be joked about.

Gaayu,
