Being a woman is tough when you have odds to face & dreams to fulfil! In a world of stereotypes, women are constantly judged and meant to be calm, sophisticated & dedicating their whole lives in the name of relations!
Among such double standards, My childhood had only statements from my family,” Why should only a guy? There is nothing wrong if a guy cook/likes pink/isn’t a breadwinner” I grew up with a motive to defy those stereotypes and constant mocking as being a woman is established to be a virtue of selfless soul, chastity & morality.
Pursuing what we want & living a life is treating ourselves because we own every moment of our life! Instead of living free-spirited life, Women have only been surviving due to hypocrites around them constantly staring, judging, bitching, dominating & expecting beyond acceptance of each individual!😓 Be it a girl, women, friend, lover, mother, wife, sister, daughter, are never bound to liberate in the fear of “what people will say”!
In being so-called “Feminine” in the society(learning to braid hair, cook, groom ourself to mingle with people, household chores, dancing, singing, preferring long hair, accepting motherhood, showcasing ethnicity, being only courteous & polite, come early to home, never booze, say yes to whatever people ask, compromise is your only thing, Marry to choose to be dependent, never raise voice to question/fight/own your rights), I was taught defence & surviving skills in my early days instead of constraining myself only to art form! As my zeal to learn new things never faded away, I found learning not only an interest but also a passion to LIVE(not survive!) Apart from being a Book worm, Dancing, Sketching, Writing, Photography, Service in organ donation campaigns lets me breathe & makes me happy that I’m not sulking in boring job anymore because I love to work and don’t sulk when I do. I was always respected for my choices & given my space for priority which every parent needs to do for their child to excel in their terms, not for the sake of what elders hope!
Though I pursued B.E, Diploma in Embedded Systems & worked in real-time projects, administration & operations, I chose writing which started from my college days with a purpose to create awareness! Sticking myself to online creating content, marketing, designing is what made me alive. Being a travel & photography enthusiast, my passion for writing made me a digital marketer, blogger, content creator & marketer today whose word characters have no limitations 😉😋 I travel to write & adapt to different customs with an inspiration to live nomadically!
Live a life where u can question if it was never your fault & raise your head high with no fear & fly with wings higher & sharper!
Once my Dad said,” Darling, Set your soul free, mind liberated & see the wonders u can achieve being free-spirited” ❤️
Feminism is not hating about men but liberating from within irrespective of gender!
Disclaimer: If the above-mentioned content is relevant, it is purely coincidental. If the content is offensive to even read then please do not consider yourself as a feminist ever! If you are able to accept a woman for how she is, what she is & who she is, then feminism sounds right because you never wanted to control her in the first place!
According to a recent survey among people,82% believe that fair skin tone is majority definition of beauty! Remaining 15% has the desire to create lasting impression through looks (that’s the reason why Indian market is flooded with fairness creams! We too are desperate to lighten our skin so that we can grab maximum attention! Don’t you think so?) All this might have been rooted in our brains from the day British invaded India and slowly they made us believe what they themselves believed in. They established their superiority and hence, the fact in our mind that fair skin is superior and dark skin is not. Also in our daily life, we ignore the fact that whatever skin care regimen we follow should prioritize a better healthy and glowy skin than a need to lighten skin. (Beware of skin lightening creams as they contain high amounts of mercury which results in skin cancer!) Not only this but also the advertising of fairness creams degrades the person with darker skin by portraying them as a low self-esteemed, unhappy person and depicts that one could be confident and achieve anything after they have transformed to a fairer person! What the hell! Isn’t this the heights of intolerance?
Instead of regretting later what can we do right now? We need to help kids recognize unsafe people and situations and give them the knowledge and skills to keep themselves safe. To Do list :
