Teenagers today are growing up in a world completely alien to yesterday's aunties and uncles. So - what is it to be a teenage feminist in today's world?
Teenagers today are growing up in a world completely alien to yesterday’s aunties and uncles. So – what is it to be a teenage feminist in today’s world?
What is it, to be a teenage feminist? To be a 21st-century specimen loaded with a sharp tongue and a quick reflex to the word: FEMINISM
it bears deep within my skin, like a harsh cut made by no other than an outspoken aunty, laughing at my face, laughing at the thousand other girls, trying to love themselves. Or an oblivious uncle, to whom all words relating to a girl are nothing but taboos, to be kept safe inside, like a girl in a womb, never to come out.
What is it, to be toyed with? To be looked over, left unconsidered, all because to them, a mind play of a few biological fluids hinders my emotional and intellectual ability to critically analyse, and to make sense.
I know, I am not a mature adult. But I am not a naive child either, I am a teenager, a person of choice, Choice of identity, of faith, of ability, and a choice of equality. And that’s all that matters.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
