Dove Ad #StopTheBeautyTest - Another unsolicited lecture to Indians

Image
Indians society and only Indian society is misogynistic. Other societies are all hunky dory. All good. Compassionate. Indian society therefore needs a lecture on why branding a person (especially female) as fat, short, dark, having curly hair, having pimples, etc. is bad. Pakistanis, for instance don't need any such nyaan. Oh Ramzan! What a great festival it is! Wah! Wah! Wah! Hunky Dory - didn't I say? Now... " How do we civilize the backward Indians? Being a white man, I must lecture them. The burden is on me." So thinks Unilever.  The above video is their solution -- to the so called "sad story of millions of women in this country" -- #StopTheBeautyTest  One may ask how can Indian ad film makers be called white men? Your skin need not be white to be a white man. English education and western supremacist mindset is all that is required to become a white man. Anybody can have that. There is no dearth of such mindsets here among the English educated people.
