Priyanka Chopra elaborates on ‘Feminism’ – rings in her birthday on 18 July
Global Star Priyanka Chopra was at the Global Education & Skills Forum in Dubai. She was asked, ‘Why a feminist never take up a stand for a physically abused man?
The former Miss World, who had embarked on a mission for empowerment of Women and crowned at the tender age of 18, has time and again fought for the rights of her kind.
In 2017 Priyanka proudly hailed herself a feminist and did not understand those who denounced the label.
Priyanka said, that she sees many of her girlfriends who are like, No she isn’t that much of a feminist and don’t even understand that. The need for feminism was coined due to lack of rights for women. That’s precisely why there isn’t a man-ism, because they always had it. Feminism is not on
admonishing or hating or not liking men or trying to make sure we’re better than men.
She went on to add that, feminism is just saying give opportunities without judging her for the decisions that she makes, the same freedom that men have enjoyed for many centuries. Feminism needs men. It needs the men in their lives to stand up for their mothers, their sisters, their girlfriends, their wives, their daughters and say that he or she is going to change the game for her future generation.
She further explained that Physiologically men and women are different. There isn’t any debate about it. When talking about equality and opportunity, we talk about cerebral opportunity. We are not saying we want to be able to be like a 200-pound man and beat the sh’t out of somebody else. We are not saying that. We are saying you give the ability to get the job, to be the CEO, and nobody questions when you’re driven at 50 and have three children, how you managing, don’t question me at all. That’s what she is saying that she can be a CEO and a mother.
