Learning and to learn is a vital process in our lives. But do we learn only in schools?
We take birth, we learn, we interpret, we grow, we act, we react and….
Learning and to learn is a vital process in our lives. But do we learn only in schools? No, we learn through every single thing taking place around us. We learn from the time we are resting in our Mother’s tummy.
We blame anti feminist actions of the society. We blame them for counting us as the second sex. We blame, blame and blame but then also things are not changing. It is because of the process of teaching and learning and interpreting. It is because we without any evidence have decided that women are weak, they cannot do this and that. And the same things are directly and indirectly taught to the coming generations.
How will you resolve the problems that women are facing if you don’t have any idea of why is this so? The history mentions nothing that proves women are weak physically and mentally or emotionally, that they are weak in their career and anything.
Some of them also feel feminists over react. No they don’t. May be you are a man or a woman who thinks feminists are rebellious for nothing. Things are changing they say. Yes, they are but basic education is not. If you teach your child good habits, why you forget to teach him how to behave with a girl, why you forget to teach your daughter that she is as strong as any man, why you forget to tell yourself that discrimination is taught already to all, now we need to teach equality.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
