In India, there are sore really bizarre misconceptions attached to feminism. It is seen by many as a sort of male-bashing by women activists in designer saris. And even more strangely, ‘anti-feminists’ feel women are demanding undue privileges!
When anyone claims to be a feminist, he or she is usually looked at as the weird one. It is time that such myths are busted. And it would be great if a man does the job, that too in a simple, light-hearted way.
In this video that has gone viral, stand-up comedian Karunesh Kumar does just that, with his snarky jokes targetted at the ‘anti-feminists’. He counters the common arguments made against feminism and explain how ridiculous they are -- in his deadpan, hilarious and hard-hitting style.
