"Women themselves condition their daughters to serve the system of male primacy. If a daughter challenges it, the mother will generally defend the system rather than her daughter. These mothers, victims themselves, have unwittingly become wounded wounders. Women need to attack culture's oppression of women, for there truly is a godlike socializing power that induces women to "buy in" or collude, but we also need to confront our own part in accepting male dominance and take responsibility where appropriate." - Sue Monk Kidd

There cannot be progress of any sort until this perverted, vicious and inhuman mentality is eradicated from the root, by whatever means. Period.

Its not the discrimination... It's the rituals... The culture...that's what is bad for girls... Girls take birth only to face troubles... It's better they don't take birth at all...

It's not about favoring boys... It's about troubling girls

now i feel like deleting atleast half the posts ive made till date.
many a times,i feel like some vacuum inside me when i know what to write,but i know i shouldnt write that here since its too personal ,nor talk about it with those in my personal life since its too..whatever ,but the intense overwhelming feel to share that makes me write something awkward which neither i understand nor other understand how to reply.i lack the vocabulary even now to express what am i feeling.30% vacuum, 20% sad,40% happy ,10% urge to write lots of stuff here.
lots.
There are people who care.I know,and are always willing to listen, but after a certain extent i feel guilty for being mean,when given a chance to talk,i end up talking about just my feelings,my and mine,those of me.I forget that the person listening to me is a human, having its own set of problems.I am rarely given a chance to be of help to someone else,be a listener myself. Be an elder sister or a protective or a caring figure to someone, or a good friend.
I dont trust,in return,people don't trust me.I am always in need of someone. Is anyone in need of me? i don't think so.
