I once faced gender discrimination at a private institution, and while we observe progress is being made in dismantling the patriarchy, the complex and deeply ingrained system will take its own course

Ever wonder why Indian families annouce sons as successors of the family business and not daughters? Why do sabotage the abilities of daughters by stripping them of this opportunity? Trust daughters to successfully run a family business

Just like no one has the right to stop men from doing what they want, no one should enforce anything on women too. Men never be with women who do not respect their choices or go against them, then why should women? It is basic humanity to respect other person’s choices.

Haven’t we internalised the stereotype that men always spend carefully and on ‘valuable’ products while women waste their money on useless expenditure?

dear society, why is it so difficult for you to accept that women can have talents and sometimes more than men? Why can’t you look at women as intellectuals rather than sex objects?

Even if your attempt to understand women might be positive, it would be much better if you let women speak. Rather than making assumptions, wait, confirm and listen to women.

Make your mothers realise that their individualities and self-respect matter too. Raising a voice against injustice will not leave their kids orphaned but will give them new strength and perspective towards life.

Why should women be treated as someone who tend to falter every time? Why doesn’t society trust a woman’s discretion?

Society does work without any major adjustments done by men. Then why can’t it function when women refuse to adjust? What is stopping us from letting women thrive?

So dear people who pass on sexist jokes, it is not laughable at all. It is just a way to demean a woman without taking the responsibility for it.
