Richa Chadha on Nora Fatehi’s ‘Women Are Nurturers’ Remark

She emphasized how feminism has made it possible for women to pursue occupations, exercise their freedom of choice, and engage in society in ways that go beyond conventional gender norms during an interview with Puja Talwar. Richa Chadha said, “The cute thing about feminism is that it accepts those that that seek the benefits of feminism but deny being a feminist. The reason why someone is able to have a career, choose what they want to wear work where they want to be independent have those choices is because of feminism and because of predecessors who decided that women need to be out there working jobs, not just being at home.

Richa Chadha dispelled the myth around feminism, claiming that it is sometimes misconstrued as a radical movement that originated with images from the late 1960s. Rather, she highlighted that the essence of feminism is empowerment and equality, allowing women to choose their own journeys. So I think it’s a misguided reaction to the visual of some misinformed bra-burning chaos from the late ’60s. It’s not really a real understanding, ” added Richa.

“All roles are defined, not as gender roles, but as, just as people who are sharing the responsibility of bringing a child into the world. And I don’t fully agree with this women should be this way. And not this way. I’m surprised it was said at all, actually, ” she concluded.
