The idea of feminism is simply treating women as equal to men. And we don’t think that the backlash was ever about feminism. The internet, especially women, got offended because the description of the couple’s relationship felt like the woman was more invested in the man throughout. There is no problem with a woman proposing to a man, but the problem arises when the relationship becomes all about the man. It’s also hard to ignore that such relationship standards being romanticised by two public figures could send a wrong message to impressionable minds. And that’s when we raise the question: Where should the celebrities draw a line when talking about their personal lives?
