Feminism Truth

"Be nice. Don’t be loud. Don’t be stubborn. Don’t argue. Be modest. Be respectful. Don’t speak out. Be a good wife. Be a good daughter. Be a good sister. Uphold the family honour."- these words kill me like anything or you can say these words just make me feel the worst when said by anyone. Life of an Indian girl is heavily fed on guilt and it becomes more tough as you grow up. We are brought up making us feel guilty of our existence. In both the cases of being beautiful or being ugly, the society puts you down. If you are beautiful, you are forced to feel guilty because you would catch men’s attention and if you are ugly, you won't get a good groom. Similarly in the case of being tall or short, the same problem exists. If you are tall, you  have guilt of not finding a matching guy for yourself and if short, no guy will marry you because of height. I go out with friends and enjoy, I feel guilty.

In fact if you really do care and want to make a difference, instead of shaming someone and making them feel bad about themselves, be kind and give a person the space to love. Why is th...

In our patriarchal society, there are numerous challenges women face that men simply don't have to deal with — after all, that's what happens when you live in a culture that's structured to benefit one gender over another.  As much progress as the fight for gender equality has accomplished over the course of decades, women's rights still have a long way to go. We live in a world that teaches girls to judge their worth based on looks rather than abilities. And if they possess the abilities, they still get a message to look good.  In a society where eating disorders are on the rise, women regularly have to deal with body image anxiety throughout their daily lives, regardless of their age. Even after delivering a baby, they are expected to look good as soon as possible. Even in the modern day, we're expected to force ourselves to listen all the shits of the so called society such street harassment, media representation, purdah system, discrimination in the workpla...
