We all have different notions about feminism. Some think it's giving the females more importance than the male in the society. Some think it's about equal right and then there are some who think they can do any shit in the name of feminism and women empowerment.
It all started with the viral video on you tube about women empowerment by vogue empowerment. Starring Deepika Padukone and other nameless 99 women explaining why the things they do are their choice.
Homi adanjania had a almost clear understanding of the whole feminist culture. But there were still some loopholes in it.
It was perfect till the first 48 seconds of the 2 Min's 34 seconds video, but all hell broke loose from 49th second till the 56th second. Within those 7 seconds, the narrator, here deepika said 'It's my choice if i want to have sex inside a marriage, outside a marriage, or to not have sex at all' but little did they know that the one line they said would turn out to be the biggest controversy in the feminist world. Maybe they didn't know the fact that some of the female of India can't distinguish or are somehow not being able to distinguish between rational and irrational choices.
Followed by the video, few women whom i consider are not happy in their present marriage decided to go gaga on their husbands by showing them their rational choice, by having sex outside marriage. I have only one thing to say ladies 'There is the law if you are not happy with your husband. there is a thing called divorce which you can apply for, and if you think applying for a divorce will give you a bad name, tell them it's your choice'. Now if you allow a simple video meant for recreational purposes to get over your rational thinking there's nothing much we can do. Where does your choice go when your husband abuses you? you get so scared of the society you shut up totally. Use your choices judiciously where needed.
In another video 'My choice- male version' gives out a very strong message. If you decide you have sex outside marriage or not have sex at all it's your choice. But when the same thing is done by a male it becomes a matter of cheating, disrespecting your love and shit. It's rational when you do it but irrational when men do it?

If you talk about women empowerment, you have to talk about empowering the women but not at the cost of giving the male a inferiority complex. It's about growing, but growing together. It's about making choice's that don't hurt others around you especially your partner. It's about helping each other rise.
Feminism believes solely on equality of both the sexes, it does not in any way say that you have to give women more importance so that a women can outrun a man. No.
In my opinion, this videos scripting should have been more sensible and the director should have been vary about the possible reactions of women and should have understood the fact that, no offence but some of the Indians are still prudent about this kind of topics, and misunderstanding are sure to arise.
the video was meaningful, not all of it, but yes some parts were pretty nerve wracking. I would suggest if you are going to follow the video blindly and for every illogical reason you take give the reason that it is your choice i would say, you go through the other side of the coin as well.
(I meant no offence through my blog, it was purely my general opinion)
