Why Am I A Feminist: Lakshmi Pratury

What does Feminism mean today, in the 21st century? Can you be a man and be a feminist? Does feminism mean hating men?

SheThePeople.TV asks leading women why they identify as feminists, and what feminism actually means to them…Why is it important for India to weigh in on these issues? Central to the gender rights debate is the fight for sexual and reproductive rights… a debate that intersects with other equal rights movements. Should this matter to you? Where do you stand on the key issues of equality, pay parity and access to representation? Is empowerment a catch-all phrase or does it actually stand for something concrete? And why is it that many women are shying away from the 'F-word'?
