Okay so as usual everybody is going gaga over the new video ‘starring’ Deepika Padukone, and as usual I am here to dissect it. Apparently all of you are highly appreciative of the message. Whose message again? Vogue’s message. Not Deepika’s but Vogue’s. What exactly does the Vogue magazine do? Why was it marketed. Well, if you must know, since its inception, the magazine targeted the new New York aristocracy, establishing social norms in a country that did not value class and ceremony as much as England or France. See the primary problem I have with the primary party involved with the commercial, which you mistook as a ‘message’? Vogue fucking India now wants to ‘empower’ women. And how? By this? Seriously, you want me to believe you did not get their marketing strategy? You want me to believe that you had no damn idea that they want to sell their product to an audience going high on ‘indian feminism’ at the moment? Oh, hold on…I forgot. You just see what they want you to see. Next, let’s come to the messenger involved. Deepika Padukone. It’s my choice how I live my life – that seems to the entire point of this video in the first glance. If it was solely so, I wouldn’t have had a problem with it but it is not so. It states along with the above, that I am robbing you of a chance to criticize, no matter what I do.

3. “You are my choice, I’m not your privilege” – That is totally vice versa. Don’t you go about jabbing as if it’s an one way traffic.

4. “to have your baby or not” – Fuck with you! That is a couple’s choice. Just like you have the ovary and the egg, the man has the sperm. It’s a decision that is taken between two sane adults, both of whom will share the love and responsibility involved. But then, I guess your brand of feminism doesn’t have much sanity left.
