Does Sonam Kapoor's tweet about the 'misogynist' meat ban deserve such backlash?
What happens when a woman in India expresses her point of view about something controversial online? That's exactly what happened to Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor.
When this 'fashionista' talked about something other than the fancy world she lives in, she was deemed a 'bimbo' with no sense or intellect. The people of the Internet assumed that the actor, who is a woman mind you, doesn't know the meaning of the word 'misogynist.'
It all started when she took to Twitter and expressed her views on the four-day meat ban in Mumbai. She wrote:
Our country is going to remain a 3rd world nation because of the intolerant misogynistic close minded few. https://t.co/JcIDEC3gQE

That's what Sonam Kapoor apparently intended. Her comment was just "a critique of the general mentality not exclusive to the meat ban", as she herself pointed it out while reverting to people on Twitter.
@hankypanty it was a critique of the general mentality.. Not just related to the meat ban.. This exact judgmental bullshit fucks us.
— Sonam Kapoor (@sonamakapoor) September 8, 2015However, after fighting a pointless battle online, Kapoor eventually let go. Why? Maybe because it's just not the place for a celebrity to raise his/her voice. Or maybe because we're happy seeing them lead their picture perfect lives, not addressing issues that plague 'normal' people.
Here's Sonam Kapoor's tongue-in-cheek sign off. Samajhdaar ko ishaara kaafi hai?
Well I guess it's back to talking about fashion and brands.. Lol
