#TheDailyToast: When Sonam Kapoor freed misogyny from gender
Every actress only hopes to leave her mark on the world, but to change language forever... Now that only comes with academic prowess. But thanks to Sonam Kapoor, who misused the word "misogyny" in a bid to exhibit how little she actually understands of the how many books she claims to read, we now have to expand the meaning of the word itself, or else face being called, well, misogynistic.
This is not entirely a bad thing in the way that being kicked upstairs mid probe can give you time to stitch a better suit for your son's impending wedding. There are bright sides to things, as Anil Kapoor said is the secret to his glowing longevity. So also, by linking everything to women we can now club causes, fight the same fight, make the same mistakes and slap on one law for all. It's the integrated dynamic. Think of how much effort we could save on the collective outrage by just boiling it all down to one thing: gender.
So the beef ban is now misogynistic and the meat ban is now misogynistic. A conspiracy as such, against women who have to come up with new things to cook every day. Sexual harassment cases are as misogynistic as having to cook with tindas, that vile vegetable only misogynistic North Indians from misogynistic states know what to do with. Indrani Mukurjea's incarceration is as misogynistic as Peter Mukerjea's bank balance: skewed against her beyond explanation, and it is absolutely against the cause of women everywhere that she has had to be photographed in the same clothes for more than two weeks now. Page 3 is reeling. Which is fine but what is the explanation for Peter not having changed leave alone ironed his shirts? Misogyny alone prevents a man from picking up an iron.
See how easy this gets? Join in.... Maharashtra CM Fadnavis' trip to Japan to promote Make in India will only end up seeing wasabi replacing thechas, and replacing the entire woman-run pickling cottage industry. The FTII movement is a misogyny of gender against a woman chief. And that Rahul can still not just jump into his role and reach the high post is the misogyny of his mother's er... motherhood.
That never backtracking-even-when-caught-out Amma and Didi are not more powerful than perennial flip-floppers is as misogynistic as planes that catch fire without explanation.
Thank you Sonam for releasing misogyny from the misogynistic trappings of gender. That too, when you've declared you're not a feminist, just want equality for women.
Rahul Gandhi is still single by the way. Don't mind me... Just making a misogynistic nudge there.

Earlier, politics forever sought a slice of Bollywood limelight. Now, Sonakshi Sinha, Sonam Kapoor etc want a slice of politics' popularity

— ChaitanyaChinchlikar (@chait123) September 8, 2015Take a shot every time Sonam critiques on "General Mentality" which is oh-so-much exclusive to meat ban and in no way misogynistic.
— V-Dwag (@Stinson_Desi) September 8, 2015Twitter is good at shifting from the main issue and targeting something absolutely not important. Sonam > Meat ban Haina?
