Women should be independent, only to an extent: Nora Fatehi says feminism messes up society

Nora Fatehi, the Canadian actress and dancer making waves in Bollywood, blames feminism for corroding the infrastructure of society. Despite speaking from a place of privilege, the Bollywood star wants to uphold traditional views of the roles expected of men and women in a subcontinental society. “The idea of being inherently completely independent and not having to get married and have kids, and not having the male and female dynamics at home where the man is the provider, a breadwinner and the woman is the nurturer – I don’t believe in people who think that’s not true,” Nora shared.

“I think women are nurturers. Yes, they should go to work and have their own life and be independent - but to a certain extent,” Nora stated and continued that men today are shirking their inherent “masculine” responsibilities in the wake of feminism, “Everyone brings something to the table,” she remarked. “If you are bringing to the table money, food, shelter, I need to bring to the table kids, being a mother, taking care of the house, cooking, etc. If we are bringing the same thing to the table, then who's going to bring the other stuff?"
