"My Choice" advocates lopsided feminism: Manasi Joshi Roy

Does this statement imply that the makers of this short film are saying it's okay for a woman to want sex outside of marriage? That is adultery! And no matter how you choose to justify it or rationalise it... it still is betraying another person that you are in a committed relationship with! And how would people react if there was a film of this nature released on the public platform where a man proudly claims, "I want sex outside of marriage!" Wouldn't we all scream in outrage and say how dare he wants to commit adultery?"

So it's okay for a woman to say she wants sex outside of marriage and us to think this is empowering her in some way ? I'm sorry but I don't get this at all.

Let's give the devil its due and try to understand why they made this statement. These are the various scenarios which could have prompted this line:

1) The woman is in a bad marriage and her husband is having sex outside of the marriage so perhaps the woman wants to do the same... She can do whatever the man does and therefore she is empowered! Really? Or is the act actually not retaliation. She's doing this because she wants to get back at him or maybe they have reached a stage of apathy where each one is doing whatever he/she wants.

2) The woman is in a good marriage but still wants to have sex outside marriage! Fine ... that's your choice definitely as long you're willing to grant it to your man too. Because otherwise, this whole women empowerment thing is imbalanced. 

But whatever the reason a choice which would cause hurt to either partner in a relationship is definitely not empowering.

Sex is a beautiful act when it's between two mature consenting adults. Man/woman, man/man, woman/woman. But the minute the rules change for either, there's an imbalance. 

To have "my choice" is very important but along with it comes great responsibility. So if I have the choice to say or do whatever I want... I should also choose what I say and do wisely.

And that's what I have a problem with! I hope they explain the reason behind this line... Because otherwise My Choice merely advocates some sort of lopsided feminism.
