00:00It's a good middle upper middle class family. The little girl is seeing mama do
00:04nothing, watch TV, entertain herself all day, but she still has so much hold over papa.
00:10Baby, can I get some water?
00:12Coming right up baby.
00:18Why? Because she is desirable to papa. Physically desirable. We are not talking
00:23of lower middle class households here where the housewife has to slog the entire day.
00:27No, we are talking of affluent families. Equally there are so many celebrated actresses and
00:33not only in India but in film industries across the globe. They were very mediocre. A lot
00:38of them. I am not saying all actresses are mediocre please. What I am saying is a lot
00:42of mediocre actresses had reasonably good careers just because they looked good. Women are seeing
00:49that every day. The little girl is seeing that every day. What lessons is she to draw? Playing
00:54the good daughter, the good wife, the good mother, the good girl in the office. Women participating
00:59in this kind of system. Not just participating, furthering the system.
01:03What stakes do you have? What are you getting? What is there in this for you? Why are you a
01:12participant? Why don't you drop out? Why don't you walk out? What holds you here?
