Strength of a Woman [FEMINISM]

If you are passionate about your goals and excited about your pursuits, others around you will believe in you also. Passion is like the energy that fuels an emotionally strong woman's drive.

3. They don't get wrapped up in anger or resentment

Being an emotionally strong woman can quite literally mean not letting your emotions get the best of you; instead, practice remaining level-headed.

I think sometimes you do have to suck it up and sort of try to push through when things aren't going your way...When you get angry, that's when it's really tough to...just step back and think through

Don't let your resentment cloud what it is you're really after. It's easy to share that bitter emotion, but remember that spreading anger is useless and harmful.

SIYA shows us this particular point in every instance of her life.

@Jaishree: Beautiful post. I completely agree. I wish to see these aspects projected well in the show w/o deviating from the epic prime story line.

Ramya, so far I have not seen much of a Strong Woman in Siya so far.

I agree with your point about feminism not being about simply questioning everything.


I feel the show is well-intentioned in the way they attempt to put across some social and moral commentary such as the conversation where Sita talks to Ram about being together yet still independent or the point she makes in the Swayamwar about wanting to accept a man who didn't feel the need to put down a woman to assert his masculinity.


But they don't manage to be consistent in their presentation of Sita unfortunately...I'm not sure if it's more of a problem from the direction point of view or writing point of view...but there are hitches in execution...yes I also agree that Sita ends up coming across as impertinent more than a dignified, strong minded woman...it is very much possible to have dignified strength without jumping in with random questions regardless of occasion.


Like in today's scene, it felt strange that Sita was directly questioning Ram about his opinion on the food...that is not how you'd envision an interaction b/w them regardless of whether they are betrothed...I feel some epis back they did a better job of managing a convo with that scene early morning on the cliff...it had just the right balance of mature thought process as well as a sweet understanding b/w them.


The writers seem confused about how to present Sita in this show...they seem to succumb to loud gimmicks from time time when it's fully possible to show Ram-Sita interacting without the need for such stuff...their USP lies in their connection without the need for loud gestures or words...subtlety is the need of the hour.


I appreciate that they have tried new stuff in this interpretation of Ram-Sita but some core characteristics vis a vis deep dignity and respect should be consistently maintained...Sita's serenity is supposed to be her biggest virtue, is it not? Then I wonder why they strangely lose sight of that in scenes like her hyperventilating over the mere mention of Ram's name😕

@areyarr so well said

@Jaishree: I agree to it. Yesterday seeing the episode, I said why sita is so tensed just for food preparation. Is it the only so concerned qualification for marriage? My mom told even i was like that why not sita in that treta yug. U cant believe how much i am fed up. Strong minded women is somewhat not acceptable for women themselves.

Beautiful post Jaishree.

Whether from loss of a dear one or ill health, or accidents, we just go back to our routine. that is our greatest strength
