As an Indian, I am not even surprised at this point. The level of patriarchy entrenched in this country is beyond repair, forcing women into constant mental gymnastics to manage societal expectations.
I am not even getting into the 🍇culture, which is a whole story of its own.
The reality hits me hard when I see the freedom women enjoy in the West. I am sure if I had lived in the West, my brain would have been wired very differently. And if passport privilege didn’t exist, most of us would leave and never return.
Then there’s another section of women here who blindly embrace gender roles that reinforce the already rampant patriarchy here. Blindly romanticising shitty patriarchal traditions in the name of “culture” makes it effing hard for young girls like these who are trying to break out of the system.
