On Wednesday, PolicyMic<\/a> released a list of 28 iconic feminist moments of 2013. Many of the moments are dubiously-named “feminist,” since the word<\/a> denotes a person who believes in equal rights for women; but it has been hijacked to represent those who speak loudly for abortion rights (hence the list’s idol-worship of Wendy Davis and her filibuster in favor of fetal dismemberment in Texas). Nevertheless, some of the moments on the list were truly feminist according to the word’s actual definition. Specifically, the list included\u00a0Mallika Sherawat’s unforgettable defense of women’s rights in India.<\/p>\n

\"Feminist\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sherawat, a beautiful Bollywood actress who has also done films and music videos in the US, was asked by a reporter why she believes Indian society is regressive women. Sherawat, who had done every last bit of her homework on the subject, replied by slamming India for its female gendercide, prominence of gang rape, and pride in honor killings for women who are viewed as disobedient to the patriarchy.<\/p>\n
