Remember, in the competition of being the most likeable woman in patriarchal society, women are always at loss.
It is alarming to see boys in their teens discuss gang-rape, objectify women and pass lewd remarks against young girls. Adults play a much larger role in shaping behaviour of young-adults, than they may want to concede. Easier to blame it on bad company, than ourselves, isn’t it?
The gendering of duties which sends women picking after their husbands or put their needs first was never about love. It was always about establishing a hierarchy, in our society, in our homes and in our bedrooms.
Be assured that there is nothing wrong in serving water, tea or food to your loved ones provided it’s not just male members that are being served and that they feel entitled to sit and order you around.
