If you found that silly or absurd, that is your poor outlook towards the strength of a woman and a mother.😆
Well u said u found my comment laughable and yet replied to it... 😆😆.
While I believe in empowering women, I am not silly enuff to suggest one fight Nuclear weapon with a knife🤣🤣🤣
And having actually worked with abused women... I don't call them weak or unempowered for seeking assistance... for calling a helpline... or reporting their abusers to police... or even crying! As It weakens nobody to seek assistance to overcome genuine adversity. Nor does emotional expression such as tears make anyone weak.
Ganga is not SUPERWOMAN nor is being a Mother going to turn her into one! To suggest she can face Ratan alone to anyone who lives in the real world is ABSURD. She needs HELP. Her legal sources of help is the authorities (police, collector, MP, etc.) and Women's Organization in such situations.
In her circumstances if she confronts Ratan alone then she is ROADKILL... Unless u really think her motherly powers is going to stop bullets. To equalize the power imbalance btwn herself n Ratan she herself would need implements of power - aka police or weaponry. Now what happens if she goes without law and uses weaponry? She will succeed, but only temporarily...cuz if she kills Ratan then she will land in jail. While a good lawyer maybe able to get her off eventually... she won't be raising her child for sometime.
IN SUM b4 mocking my outlook on women empowerment REFELCT on what EMPOWERMENT MEANS IN A GIVEN SITUATION and y I mocked the absurdity of ur suggestion
