What Huma said
During the chat, Huma said, “I feel like the word feminism is being made very negative. It is being misconstrued. Being a feminist- male or female, is not a bad thing. It is a very good thing. What are we talking about, we are saying that we should give equal opportunities to everyone, treat everyone normal, whether you are a boy or a girl, if you are treated in a way. jayega, kuch opportunity di jayegi, nahi di jayegi… toh apki soch waisi hi ban jayegi (I feel that the word feminism has become to be seen in a negative light. It is being misconstrued. What we are talking about, what we say is that both men and women should get equal opportunities and treated normally. Both of them must be treated equally, given the same opportunities or not, so the thinking will also become like that).”
She added, “Nobody is saying that you should be putting men down aisa kuch nahi he (Nothing like that) Basic common sense ki baat ho rahi he (It is basic common sense what we are saying), that is just it.”
