Dropping truth bombs!
It’s an undeniable fact that most men aren’t great listeners. There must have been at least once in a woman’s life when she would have felt less important in terms of putting forth her opinions in serious matters. Most of the time, even in female-centric films, actresses don’t have much say. In the recent episode of Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, actress Fatima Sana Shaikh shed some light on the topic of why men don’t bother listening to female opinions and also shared some of her personal experiences with the host Siddharth Aalambayan.

Amid these, the Dangal actress talked about how men lack the patience and conditioning of listening to a woman’s opinion. To make a point here, Fatima Sana Shaikh gave the example of female-oriented films where the makers are mostly a group of men who entirely disregard a woman’s input for this. The actress said that while making such female-oriented films, the men are ready to listen to a woman’s opinion on the matter instead believe that they have better perspectives on woman’s issues.

Furthermore, Fatima Sana Shaikh also added that such makers can very well follow the trend of making female-oriented films but their final product will be based on a man’s patriarchal thoughts. The actress also stated that she finds such clashes interesting and tries to make them realise their mistake by becoming non-aggressive.
