    Girl By Kincaid Is Everything You Need To Understand Feminism

    December 18, 2022 - By 

    I decided to read 50 short stories written by women, and share my reviews online. I stumbled upon Girl by Jamaica Kincaid, which summarizes the answer to the question ‘why do we need feminism?’. As the year-end draws, I reflected upon some of my weaknesses, and one stared at me with monster eyes: Inconsistency. So, I chose to push myself and write one review each day for a short story that I read (I am hoping to succeed *fingers crossed*) Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; wash the color clothes on Tuesday and…

    Laugh, Walk, Talk Like a Lady: The Ruthless Sexism

    May 12, 2022 - By 

    Part 1: The 1950s Housewives Feminism is the movement to bring an end to sexism and oppression. It is an effort to make women liberal and empowered. Feminists believe that feminism means having a choice. Do you also know that people who make unconventional choices feel ashamed and embarrassed to talk about it? Choosing to be a Housewife: The choice that was once super-conventional and traditional is now becoming unconventional and outdated real fast. When the “empowered” women look at a housewife, they see her as a poor soul trapped within the four walls. It is not surprising to see…

    7 Lessons of Patriarchy I would Unteach My Daughter

    March 26, 2022 - By 

    Last week, I asked my friends if they had anything they would like to unteach the girl children they know- of patriarchy and gender stereotypes. We think that we no longer follow patriarchy, and maybe we don’t consciously. But, there are small lessons imbibed and cultured into our day-to-day activities. We are not aware of them because we think it is normal, and that’s how it is supposed to be done. So, when I asked, I heard a lot of common practices that could be missed as normal routines but are ideas inherited from patriarchy. Some of them are easily…

    Elegant Females is a Trap- ‘Do We Need Feminism’ Series

    June 8, 2021 - By 

    Feminism strives harder to break the shackles of patriarchy and gender stereotyping for years. It is time to focus on society’s view on Elegant females. Like men, women also have a certain set of rules and frames when they start growing up. Male and female have to follow certain qualities, characteristics and behaviour to fit into the sex they perceive themselves of. Do you remember the famous “Saatvikam, Prachodakam, and Bhayanakam“ dialogue from the Super Star Rajinikanth’s starring movie Padaiyappa? Apparently, the girls get classified into three categories, as mentioned above. Obviously, Saatvikam is a “marriage material”, while the other…

    Feminism A-Z: An ultimate guide to the scary F-word

    March 19, 2021 - By 

    Here’s an ultimate guide to driving your fear away about the scary f-word: feminism, feminists and people who voice out for gender equality. You no longer need to hide from feminists or be feared about saying the word aloud if you are one of us. I hope this article explains to you what feminism really is, and serves as a knowledge transfer from me to you. “It took me three years to find that I am a feminist, and it took me another two years to say it aloud.” Feminism is not a subject or theory; it’s a perspective, a…

Before we discuss a book on fun-reading Friday, allow me to share a glimpse of an incredible poem that I read a few days ago on the Internet.

    COVID, WOMEN, GENDER EQUALITY: THE GOOD, BAD AND THE UGLY.

    November 22, 2020 - By 

    Ta-da! I am here with another post today. Gender equality, a global issue, threatens the development of women even in the 21st century. Some economists say that the fights of women for gender problems in society are withering away due to the pandemic. Are we matured enough to confront the elephant in the room? Before we jump into the pay gap reporting statistics by various websites for analysis, let’s take time to appreciate the pleasant thing. The unpaid care work performed by women all these years finally possessed the limelight and was noticed for how difficult and valuable it is,…
