One prevalent reaction condemned Fatehi's remarks, pointing out the inherent irony in her stance. Criticism also extended to the flawed arguments often used by individuals who oppose feminism. Users pointed out the irony of claims that women no longer need feminism because they can vote, feel safe, or receive equal pay, highlighting the fact that these rights were won through feminist activism. Fatehi's comments were seen as perpetuating harmful stereotypes and misinformation, particularly given her platform and influence as a public figure.

women's arguments for being against feminism r so ironic. they r always like:
I don't need feminism bcoz I can vote, I feel safe, I get equal pay. I feel like an equal member of society glad u r comfortable cuz the only reason u're in that position is, listen up, bcs of feminism. pic.twitter.com/FeUQmgQkX5

In addition to condemning Fatehi's remarks, some users questioned the motivations behind her statements, suggesting that they may be driven by a desire for clout or a lack of understanding rather than genuine conviction. The broader implications of Fatehi's comments for societal attitudes towards feminism and gender equality were also a topic of discussion, with many users expressing concern about the potential impact of her views on her audience.

Nora Fatehi's comments on feminism raise concerns about privilege and awareness. It's reeking of ignorance and probably clout. #Feminism #Bollywood #NoraFatehi

Others took a more confrontational approach, challenging those who agreed with Fatehi's views to confront the realities of living in societies where feminism is not embraced. References to Afghanistan, where women's rights are severely restricted, served as a stark reminder of the importance of feminist principles in securing gender equality.

Whoever agrees with #NoraFatehi about #feminism should go live a few months in #Afghanistan! Walk the talk or STFU.
