This man got trolled for calling feminism a threat to \"Indian Womanism\"
He wrote that he isn't anti-woman but advocates \"Indian Womanism + Familism\".
Feminism has been a much talked about subject across the world and especially in India where gender equality is constantly battling patriarchal values in the society. While there has been rising support for feminist ideas from various quarters, some celebrities have got it wrong as many oppose it in the name of “defending culture”.
The latest “media personality” to voice opposition to feminism is right wing activist Rahul Easwer, who says that he isn’t anti-woman, but simply anti-feminist.

While you might be wondering what he exactly meant there, Rahul Easwer went on a streak of making up terms to put his point across, as he said that the right wing was against “Left Western Feminism” and that he supported “Indian Womanism + Familism”
Many people wrongly assume Right Wing is "Anti Woman".. We are only Anti "West Left Feminism", We are all for "Indian Womanism + Familism"

It might be a tough task to wrap your head around so many new ‘isms’ invented by Easwer, Twitter was as usual quick and ruthless when it came to taking Easwer to task.

Even as people keep failing to understand that feminism is basically all about gender equality, the movement is progressing in India despite opposition from a patriarchal mindset.
