Anushka Sharma Clarifies What It Means To Be A Feminist!
Anushka Sharma talks about feminism & clarifies what feminism means in today's society. The term feminism is considered as man-hating by a lot of people in the country.
Feminism is a hot topic these days as quite a lot of people bash it for being hijacked by women who are man-hating and spew venom against men by calling themselves 'feminists'. So much so that they've been named as 'feminazis' in return and there are several groups in social media that make fun of feminists. However, the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil star Anushka Sharma identifies herself as a feminist, and clarified what it means to be a feminist by saying,
"I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
first
clarify
what
it
means
to
be
a
feminist.
A
feminist
is
someone
-
either
male
or
female
-
who
believes
in
equal
rights
for
men
and
women.
But
people
have
forgotten
that
definition
and
look
at
feminists
as
an
anti-men
brigade,
and
that
it's
only
about
men
hating
women,
but
that's
not
the
truth."
She further commented, "Feminists are people who are fighting for equal rights for women, because we are at a disadvantageous position. And in that sense, I identify with being a feminist, because I am a liberal and free-thinking person. Why just gender, I believe nobody should be discriminated against on the basis of anything. All human beings should be looked at as humans."
However, Anushka Sharma feels that things have changed drastically and now men and women can co-exist equally in the society with equal opportunities. "Historically, women have had to struggle because of the way society has functioned. But today, we have reached a point where we don't need to live like that. Now, both men and women can coexist with equal rights and opportunities."
