Neeya Naana: Feminists and the view of them among family women

I normally hate feminists. Coz i don't know enough.

Initially while in/up to Engineering college, i used to talk like a feminist. Yes - Women should be free, be their own, this society screwed them up - that way.

I don't know when it all changed. May be while trying hard to make a good life for myself, probably forgot all that. Then there are these fake feminists like Suhasini and other women who do Balachander films ;) I started *really* hating them. And then... till today i kinda like them only for the reason that they are hot, wild with cropped hair etc., like actress Rohini. Now i agree telugu is a sweet language ;) And of course she is intelligent too.

But tonight - 5/25/2011 - it all took another massive turn. Made me realize what an idiot i have been. Thanks to Kavitha Sunder and couple of others, i have started watching this tamil program "Neeya Naana". It is quite popular but i know it only the last two weeks or so. Looking around for good ones, topics etc., even if old, i found some and watch it in the evening. But this one - on Feminists and the view of them among house wives - that is so very good. It shattered so many myths of common people. ரொம்ப ரொம்ப மதிக்க வேண்டிய விஷயம். Really very good episode (In Tamil Only - helps get the sequence right in this page - one by one). A flash back to what the culture used to imbibe in me growing up.

What stunned me is - how ignorant i'm - not to know of feminits authors Salma and Oviya. Anyone who listens to them will never ever talk or even think of *any* women badly. Life is good, again...!
