It Can't Be A Coincidence That Feminism Is Progressing Well In Third-world Countries And Every Piece

It can't be a coincidence that feminism is progressing well in third-world countries and every piece of desi media, especially soap operas with the target audience of housewives, decide to glamorize the role of the "Angel of the House" or "Kudumba Kuthuvizhaku" (light of the house) which is the stereotype of the woman unconditionally putting the needs of her in laws, husband, children and everyone before hers.

They also repeatedly villainize the woman who dresses liberally, and doesn't have the personality of a doormat.

Even worse is the propaganda of the Knight in Shining armor, who comes to the woman's rescue and in whom she should place unconditional trust in. The women around her are jealous, petty, scheming bitches and hence, unworthy of her companionship

It's almost as if this is done intentionally to thwart the class consciousness desi women are slowly forming and reiterate the harmful ideas we've been forced to play for centuries:

You exist to serve your family. You are not valid if you are your own person, only a mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law

If you deviate from the conservative style of clothing/thinking, you're immoral. If you are assertive, selfish, ambitious, and have a backbone, you're the BITCH

Other women exist only to tear you down, they are always plotting your downfall, so put all your faith in the man. He's your hero and protector after all

It's seemingly just drama on the outside, but seems to be a very sinister patriarchal response to feminism on the inside?
