Humaima Malick says, ‘Being feminist doesn’t mean women should avoid cooking’

Humaima Malick
  • Humaima Malick is a well-known TV and film actress.
  • She stated that being a feminist doesn’t mean ignoring cooking.
  • The actress discussed her career and her thoughts on feminism.

Humaima Malick, a well-known TV and film actress, has stated that being a feminist does not entail that women should forego cooking or preparing meals for their family members.

In a recent interview, the actress discussed her career, her thoughts on feminism, and her role in the continuing drama ‘Jindu.’

Humaima Malick plays an independent Rajasthani lady in ‘Jindu,’ and her performance has received widespread recognition.

When asked if the drama was labelled as feminist because of its representation of an independent woman, she responded, “While fans may see it as feminist, she prefers to refer to it as a drama featuring courageous women.”

“In Pakistan, the concept of feminism has been misinterpreted, being a feminist doesn’t mean women should refrain from traditional household chores like cooking,” she added.

In her view, “all these household tasks represent the essence of womanhood and it is erroneous to consider them as demeaning or beneath women.”

She stated that women may flourish in both their occupations and their home obligations, claiming that “it is incorrect to assume that feminism implies that women will not participate in cooking or other domestic tasks.”

Zara Noor Abbas’ important statement regarding feminism

Zara

Zara Noor Abbas has raised a big concern by questioning why only women are encouraged to take time from work when their coworkers learn they are expecting, whereas fathers-to-be are treated differently.

Her questions, unsurprisingly, sparked an impromptu but much-needed conversation. Zara held a quick Q&A session with her fans on Instagram, in which she expressed her anxiety.

“Quick question! Why are working women asked to take steps back when they announce a pregnancy in the corporate/work world and why are men never questioned for their credibility or their enthusiasm about work when they plan a family?”, the 30-year-old questioned.

Paternity leave for fathers was mentioned. The Senate has already enacted a bill allowing employees to take paternity leave, and Abbas is right that men should make use of it.

The varied range of responses she received represented where we as a society stand in Pakistan.

The majority were divided over the patriarchal society’s double standards, while others defended the old school belied system, claiming that women require complete relaxation and thus should not work at all.

Because parenthood is a “joint responsibility,” a user remarked that males should be permitted an extended paternity leave “to help out.” “Probably because some men don’t want to take equal responsibility that comes with parenting,” another user said why males aren’t subjected to the same cultural demands as women.

Abbas’ performance in Phaans has gotten her a lot of acclaim at work.
