It's considered taboo area, something anti-feminist. But shouldn't feminists question, give due introspect:
Why the dresses, these western clothes here, why not adapt the Indian salwar and sarees, we Indians.
And have the big confident worldview to spread this "fashion" around the world.
Isn't simply accepting it a sign of inferiority, over the world itself.
Why a just questioning of it, is seen as chauvinistic? Why not realize, it's a responsibility, an honor from generations of mothers, starting the Divine Mothers, that women were given their dress code.
Even in the west, were the Jeans and tight yoga pants, really meant for women as a whole day wear?
Wasn't it the frock there? And weren't Yoga pants meant only for Yoga. I hear some western voices calling this obvious indecency out. But no way, it's taboo here in India!
Agreed that generations, maybe centuries of male dominism has caused it. The way the caste system has caused narrow, paranoid political causes, that the rich "low caste" or "OBC" person gets it all over the poor and meritorious "high caste".
Likewise, the social queens raise assertions that having separate bathrooms in their mansions is getting gender-equality, rather than solve actual problems on the ground. Why does the rapist get to marry the victim, than be castrated. Why widow remarriage is not encouraged, than something to be borned as Karmic fruit. And also, why is the homemaker looked down upon. Can the home grow its roots, when the nurturer, the divine mother is out?
