My point is we believe every individual is alike and they should not imitate others. Similarly Women should behave as Women and not try to imitate Men and it also goes with Men that they should behave like Men.
We MEN in India have been raised to behave like MEN and take up our responsibilities right from childhood, for education, career, marriage, children etc.

Why at the same time if we expect Women to behave like Women a big problem?
In earlier days way centuries back Women were much more independent and lived up in true sense being Women. But today the definition of independence and liberation has been so miserably changed that Women have lost there focus of existence. Hardly 5% of Women today are in true sense independent.

This are my views and people are free to give theirs. But don't dare try to change mine.

Women do not need someone to remind them to do or be this or that and neither do men. The day these diktats and reminders become obsolete because people are much more relaxed and content in their own skin and identity, the discussions will automatically stop as well.

We don't get to hear "Mard ho mard ki tarah raho"...however much we may say that men have their place and women theirs, but unfortunately the onus is always more on the woman and also these kind of statements r used to supposedly put the women in their place or in a patronizing way, so such statements are rightly opposed.

Do you really think so? Or is it that you as an individual don't require to be reminded of. I am not saying we require to remind any one of their responsibilities, but are we really doing what we actually are supposed to do? This is not an individual specific question, so no need to answer personally, but should be answered in general for majority of the people.

Any statement on its own has one connotation but it is the context as a whole. The way it has been used has to be looked upon as well. If as I assume the context you are stating this is what Armaan said to Gauhar in first week then we have to look into the whole scenario. To me he was trying to downplay Gauhar based on her sex and not logic which is not good.

Have you heard of " Be a Man"? Its only matter of different language.

Does the use of Language sober up the statement?

Does women think their place is in dustbin? Or is an insult to be a women? They why bother if someone uses this statement?

I answered for the majority only and not only as an individual. What applies to any other woman, man or individual in the society generally applies to me as well in the same capacity.

You mean to ask whether women are really doing what they are 'supposed' to do or not? First show me where are the gender roles written in stone and I will then answer whether the role play is panning out accordingly or not 🥱
