Rucha,
ReplyDeleteYou can experiment with your sexuality as you like .Any ideology can influence you but you have to act.Parents cannot stop you as are free person i guess over 18.
I feel neena gupta is the most honest feminist india has ever had.She had the guts to do as she pleased and also raised her daughter masaba being an unwed mom on her own.
You can google about the social ostracism she faced for being an unwed mom especially since viv richards was a black man.Most of indian feminists in india don't truly rebel against the society and take the brunt head on.I feel we need more rebels as opposed to just keep the victim conversation going.
Hmm I've never heard of neena Gupta I'll have to research it. Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteI will wait for that
DeleteThanks to you too for being nice
