Twitter Gives Kareena Kapoor a Crash Course on Feminism

Twitter can’t take Kareena Kapoor’s ‘equality’ not meaning feminism status.

At the music launch of the upcoming movie Veere Di Wedding on 22 May, Kareena Kapoor Khan said that she doesn’t see herself as a feminist but believes in equality.

Her co-actors, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar, and Shikha Talsania were present at the launch along with director Shashanka Ghosh and producers Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor.

I believe in equality. I wouldn’t say I am a feminist, I would say I am a woman and above all, I am a human being. I am also as proud to be known as Saif Ali Khan’s wife, as I am to be Kareena Kapoor. So that is just the way I am.

Following the music launch, Twitter was buzzing with activity. Users shared their own versions of contradicting comparisons, in response to Kareena’s statement on feminism.

I'm not sexist, I believe women belong in the kitchen.
Just like #KareenaKapoor is not a feminist but believes in equality. @TheQuint @medhac1 @GarvitaKhybri @rosheenazehra @tedhikheer29 @khemtajose @MeghnadBose93 @NidhiMahajn @BBlessy @Divyanie @singhvatsala @UBhattacheryya pic.twitter.com/4r8bnOodbi

I'm not a vegetarian, I just only eat vegetables!

I'm not ill-informed. I just don't do quick Google searches for popular words like 'feminist', ya

Lol Kareena Kapoor Khan's "I'm not a feminist, I'm a woman & I believe in equality" is exactly what's wrong in understanding the concept of feminism. It's not an anti-men, parade, bro. Chill tf out.

Kareena Kapoor Khan is free to call or not call herself a feminist but to insinuate that feminism is not about equality is dangerous and prohibits many women from giving a word to what they intrinsically know as the truth. https://t.co/VC1lzc5qcQ

Saif doesn't know what eugenics means. Kareena doesn't know what feminism means. Raam milaye Jodi hai.
