In this country, the biggest crime most girls commit is to be born female...for which they face punishment everyday.
In this country, the biggest crime most girls commit is to be born female…for which they face punishment everyday.
What is my crime? What is this curse? To be born as girl child? In the womb, at six, eight, eighteen or later.. Why are they killed? Why are they raped? Why are they assaulted? Why are they harassed? Didn’t you think, Humanity is going to it’s end…
A female raped, in every 14 min Yes, 14… With our every tea cup’s ending… Someone’s life get ruined A female raped… in police custody every two days. Doesn’t Khaki seems, Colour of fear and bias? A female, …. gang raped every 4 hour! …. Raped by a close relative every 13 hours … Under six raped every 17 hours… What’s her mistake? Playing outside the home? Going to the school, temple? Or… Her Innocent eyes, sweet laughter, Her trust, her fairytale dreams?
In whom? Will she trust, Neither relatives, Nor cops.. Everyone becomes a beast, a brute.. Yeah! That’s the heart breaking truth! Isn’t it enough, To shiver, crumble our soul, heart and mind? “नारी” she is the reason, We all got such a beautiful life… Teach her, lover her, respect her… Treat her like a lady, not a baby making machine.
Most importantly, Stop purchasing (dowry) her… Marry Her, As your wife, life partner, soul-mate.. Not for a kitchen working maid Don’t be mad Be the real man
Whose is the fault? Is it the men? Is it the society? Is it our history, old customs? Or just our shitty mindset?
Equality is always taught but not executed! Every female’s words are always muted… Feel it, understand it.. Be the real man, Be the faith in humanity we need.

Shows like Indian Matchmaking only further the argument that women must adhere to social norms without being allowed to follow their hearts.
When Netflix announced that Indian Matchmaking (2020-present) would be renewed for a second season, many of us hoped for the makers of the show to take all the criticism they faced seriously. That is definitely not the case because the show still continues to celebrate regressive patriarchal values.
Here are a few of the gendered notions that the show propagates.
A mediocre man can give himself a 9.5/10 and call himself ‘the world’s most eligible bachelor’, but an independent and successful woman must be happy with receiving just 60-70% of what she feels she deserves.
You do not have to be perfect. There’s no perfect daughter, perfect employee, perfect wife, or perfect mother. These are just labels created by society, for their convenience.
Dear Preethi,
So here you are, just out of engineering college, having no clue why you pursued Electronics Engineering. Yes, I know, like many others your age, you too were persuaded by your parents to opt for engineering because it supposedly gets you a lucrative job.
Believe me, however strange this might sound, you’ll soon come to realize that a high paying job need not always make you happy. And there are a myriad courses and career options out there, you should definitely consider something that’ll make you look forward to go to work every day.
