Canadian actor and dancer Nora Fatehi, known for her item song performances in Bollywood, recently stirred controversy on the microblogging platform X ,(formerly Twitter) by criticising feminism during an appearance on The Ranveer Show. Fatehi stated that feminism has “negatively impacted society,” expressing her preference for traditional gender roles where men provide and women nurture.

Nora’s baffling views continued when she alleged that feminism harms the family system by pushing for women’s freedom, while she believes a woman’s main role is to care for her family and home, another outrageous statement that she piped out without any evidence. She stressed that women can pursue their dreams within their boundaries.

“Feminism initially aimed to secure women’s basic rights, like education for girls. However, when it went against the natural order, it became harmful to society,” she said. Then she stressed that she believes in equality between men and women, but acknowledges their different roles in society.

We would like Nora to get educated about feminism before spreading harmful tropes in countries where violence against women is rampant.
