If advice is good it is good. Not everyone can get up and actively take part. Does that mean they cannot even express thier opinion? Giving the so called bhaashans is sometimes the only thing one can do that is in their power.
And in the post that I replied to it was obvious who The target was.. Not Chanakya and not Chandra for sure. It was in anticipation of bhaashangiri from the main female lead.
You know the thing about racism and misogyny is that sometimes it is so ingrained in our psyche that we ourselves are unaware of the subconcuous bias. And I am making this statement just in a matter of fact manner not trying to antagonise anyone. Some of us are overt about our biases and sometimes it shows up in subtle ways. Like the Times of India matrimonial section for example.
Devki you have misunderstood me. there was a another show we used to watch,where in the heroine only preached and the hero even when he did no wrong, just stood there without a spine.
Doing this just nullifies what feminists are trying to do-giving women a voice TOO. Not take away a man's voice. This gives the wrong idea. Thats why these days feminism is assumed to be man-shaming. Which it isn't. We want equality,not sexism. And it was a put off in that particular show.
Maybe it sounded wrong to you out of context. But I was talking about how ekta's female leads are in general. The male leads are well written but the female leads are monotonous.
Infact I appreciated the fact the female oppression is being shown in Chandra Nandini without it being a put off.
I am the last person to spew hatred against women and no its not even hidden anywhere deep within. You would know it if you knew me or read any of my other posts.
A woman does not need to be an Abla Naari always to show that she struggles and then overcomes. A normal girl with normal problems is equally strong when she overcomes them.
Anyway,you are entitled to your opinion. But I just feel like you implied that Im sexist,which Im not. And I certainly don't drool over preachy men. I have been forever complaining about how stalking and eve teasing is glorified in our movies and shows and how it must be stopped.
In any case,this will be my last post on this issue.
