Feminism is a social movement which advocates economic, and political equality of the sexes. It incorporates the position that societies prioritize the male point of view and that women are treated unfairly within those societies. Efforts to change that include fighting gender stereotypes and seeking to establish educational and professional opportunities for women that are equal to those for men.
Nowadays, there is huge debate on feminism in Pakistan some people believe in it while as others completely oppose it.
Similarly, actress Saba Qamar jumped in this debate and talked about her views on feminism and said, “I don’t believe in feminism I believe in gender equality.”
To clarify her point she further added, “As much as women get hurt in the same way men are hurt too. I don’t understand this thing if there is one brother of five sisters then how is he responsible for his sister’s wedding, and other responsibilities?”
“But in our society, especially in Pakistan if one is earning then ten people are depending on him. This is the injustice that people depend on that one person who has a job and complain to him all the time,” she added.
Well, it looks like Saba Qamar has twisted the definition of feminism and called it ‘gender equality’. People were confused about her statement that she said she believes in gender equality which is the exact meaning of feminism.
