Illiterate people really can't spell the word urban classist feminism and misuse the “Savarna women feminism” around to say how women of a certain class (which they confuse with caste) especially in urban places only think about themselves.
Don't get me wrong. Yes urban women sometimes do have their head up their ass while thinking about feminism and the don't think about how the broader demography of women in smaller towns/ villages or women are stuck in a much conservative situation.
Yes not all women can have the support or situation to do everything that urban women think is a woman's right in feminism.
But to call it fucking SAVARNA FEMINISM??
I'm sorry but that's not helping any women at all. And it's a weird casteist generalization in itself that you believe all urban women who are in a comfortable or richer economic situation are of upper caste. And that all poorer rural women are of lower caste.
THAT. IS. CASTEISM.
As someone who is from the so called “lower caste” and has grew up in a tier 1 city since birth, this statement pisses me off so much.
You not only are dismissing that upper caste people can and are in bad conditions. But is also showing your narrow thinking that all lower caste people are poor and in need of a saviour.
Do not play the oppressor and oppressed card on me. I no way in hell am oppressed. And neither do I want to misuse the term Savarna just to demean a perticular group of people. It's shitty and stereotypical AND CASTEIST.
Class and caste did used to be intertwined in earlier times, but in modern times it has long since become distinct. Especially in urban places.
Even without that. Even knowing many lower caste people DO still till day suffer issues and face discrimination in many places. Have less access to resources like education and basic necessities. It is still an insult to everyone if you believe all of them are stuck in the same poor situations as before.
You in your thoughts and believes at the end of the day are casteist and saying “savarna women don't care for other castes women” are also misogynist. Because at the end of the day you ARE stereotyping and villainizing a whole group of women just because of their birth.
Casteism can and DOES happens to upper caste people as well. And I am saying this as a member of the so called “lower castes” who in you head will always be victims.
You want casteism to not be an issue and when you are given the chance to not be a casteist to ANYONE and seperate people from their caste identity so the system can be ditched, you choose to do the be an entitled idiot crying wolf and reinforce caste based identity even harder.
