It is just not right to stereotype women with dark skin as belonging to lower communities. Their skin colour is just a feature of their body and not a determinant of their abilities, beauty, class or caste.

For me, the idea of a ‘good Indian woman’ is mainly mythological. It is a concept that has been weaved in stories by patriarchy and cannot really survive in the reality. Because if it did, women will never be seen as individuals but as supporting characters that matter only till they fan the heroism of men.

A woman who values her career, voice and self-respect is a good woman of a feminist society. 

There is a difference between caretaking and being a babysitter. Women shouldn’t be made responsible for improving the wrong habits of the men in their lives?

Beauty is a subjective term. A woman is beautiful if she is proud of herself. And that pride comes when women are empowered enough to support themselves and stand against the wrong.

Isn’t it insensitive of society to downplay women’s pain based on traditional beliefs? Why do women’s bodies always become the ground to legitimise patriarchal oppression?

Female autonomy and freedom has always threatened the patriarchy and which is why it has always tried to control, suppress and imprison female expression and power.

If men have the freedom to demand pleasure from sex, so do women. If it is normal for men to reach sexual climax, so it is for women.

If  assertive women disturb the harmony of the society, it is time we question our concept of harmony which is just mirage in the dreary desert of patriarchy.

If you feel guilty for being a mother and prioritising yourself and work over the baby then have a look at this list asap.
