Actor Kajol on Monday said as feminists it’s important to fight misogyny by being logical, practical and not with “fanaticism.” Kajol said if women start to scream and hammer their points, the patriarchal society will slot that behaviour as “hysterical”.

“I think you definitely need to raise your voice. I don’t think you need to be so very vehement about it but I do believe we all need to start up and debate. Don’t scream about it, yell about it. But talk about it. Make your statement in the most logical, practical manner possible.

“As feminists, fanaticism is not going to take you anywhere because all it does is to prove to all the patriarchal society that you are hysterical and that you are PMSing. Just approach it with a practical, sensible approach.”

When asked what has been that one misogynistic incident which hit them the most and how did they fight it, Shruti said, “I don’t think it’s fair to say just film industry but it’s a patriarchal, misogynistic society world over without naming a certain president as well.
