What Is Real Feminism And It's Need ? Explaining Using Movies
In the previous part of this blog I used movies to explain my points . And guess what .. It worked .. So, I decided why not continue explaining my points with the help of movies so that we all can relate .
Powerful MOVIEs puts forward many hidden messages which are often ignored .. If you don't agree with me continue reading I would take examples of movies you all have watched but would have ignored the messages .
Neerja
- We have read ,watched , heard numerous stories of Army Men sacrificing themselves for the nation . For saving our lives they are giving up their families , living in harsh conditions .We rarely hear stories of women doing the same . Why? Many people feel women lack patriotism , they are not emotionally , mentally and physically strong enough to take decision , comrades don't trust that women could really command them .. Story of Neerja proves that patriotism is not gender biased . Everyone ,regardless of gender , are willing to sacrifice them for the greater good . Then why? Then why are women still can't be part of armed forces in many countries including India?
- Why was a women like Neerja Bhanot who saved 360 lives, faced emotional abuse , mental harassment by her husband (who she later divorced) ? Only because her father had not payed enough dowry to satisfy his greed ?
- Why did Neerja's ex- husband considered Neerja's previous profession as an actress shameful . She did not even were any western clothes in her ad , she wore traditional Indian clothes ( saree) , she did not show any skin even then she was abused . I think she should not be abused even if she had shown skin , worn western clothes .. It's her choice .. If you feel that's wrong then it's your problem , keep your views to yourself .
Can you even imagine how much women are suffering even in such modern generation . If not .. then consider this .. If you had given a choice to either spent a day in cage with a hungry lion or spent a day with another human . What would you choose .. obviously the second option right .. Who would be fool enough to choose the former option right .. If you give those options to a women who has been abused she would choose the former option .. If you don't believe me .. You could re-watch Neerja she was more afraid of her past memories of her being abused than the terrorist themselves …
