Please watch this movie, guys,

It’s directed beautifully, they subtly show feminism without exclusively bad mouthing men, and without hesitating they show the issue of how girls are viewed in India. I can safely say that the level of misogyny is in a lot of Asian countries, households and community, it really hits close to home.

They even mentioned the reality of underage marriage and why it’s a problem.

Believe me, it’s an empowering movie and whoever stands with women’s rights will understand what I mean.

since the movie wasn’t mentioned i took the liberty of looking for it! It looks amazing and is the second highest-grossing film at the worldwide box office (x)

It’s called Dangal and you can watch the trailer here

I have watched it and another tidbit is that it is actually based on a true story! Geeta and Babita Phogat won medals for their country in the Commonwealth Games and they come from a state in India (Haryana) that is generally known to be not that progressive. 

This is Geeta: 

This is Babita 

and this is their father, Mahavir Singh Phogat, 

The story is inspiring, amazing and every single one of you should watch it by hook or by crook. 

Amir Khan (the actor playing the father) has a history of staring and directing films that are very socially aware and most films he takes part in are beautiful in their message.

Highly recommend this movie!! 

Listen, I live in India and I witness firsthand the amount of sexism there is here every day. THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING. watch it, please.

Speaking as the the child of Indian immigrants, this is a 10/10 story and film. And I say this as someone who really dislikes Bollywood cinema

I’m ok. I’m gonna be ok. I’m gonna live a beautiful life and I’ll get to know beautiful people. I will create things of beauty and be surrounded by flowers. And I’ll love myself, and I’ll be soft, I’ll be kind. And I’ll be ok.

White liberals telling you it’s not ok to bring up John McCain’s cancer in relation to his hypocrisy for voting YES to take away health insurance from millions upon millions of poor people is a prime example of LUKEWARM LIBERALISM.
