For centuries we have been told what women can and what women can't. Let's take a reality check, shall we?

Honestly, women have had enough with the society dictating to them about the things they are capable of. Surely I am more capable of describing my abilities than the whole world where nobody gives two hoots about me and my life, don’t you agree?
Now all those people who think that women are faint hearted and can’t stand gruesome scenes…let me just remind you that we menstruate for at least 5 days every month for more than half of our lives. So yeah, there’s a lot of blood. If that isn’t enough to prove how hardcore women are, nothing is. We are, literally, born with it. smirks
Besides the fact that we can deal with all that blood, most women don’t miss their usual workdays during this time, just casually dealing with all that drama without a frown. So, dear men, can you work while bleeding and extreme levels of cramps for 5 consecutive days? I hope you get the message.
Let’s not even get started about producing another human from their bellies after carrying them for 9 months. Pregnancy is hard, and the delivery can be as painful as fracturing multiple bones at once. That’s a lot of tolerance towards pain. Please note.
And these two are just biological facts that are true for many woman. So many women out there are housewives, working moms, entrepreneurs and what not. They handle the office with the home like a pro. Not that they should, but they do, thanks to all the bullshit that is said to us since our first breath about being an ideal daughter and sister and wife and mother and homemaker and.. phew. The list never ends. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg.
So yes, Women can do all that but there’s one thing Women can’t and won’t, i.e., handle patriarchy’s bullshit.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
