it is international women's day, the only day where we recognise that women are or should be treated equal to men and everybody acts like women are given more or equal treatment as men and women are goddesses, although the reality is different.

So people say that men don't have much to do in indian shows and it is a female dominated industry. Yes...women dominate tv...by crying and grovelling in front of their insensitive and dumb husbands, their saas and the villians and being walked over by men. What is the actual point of saying that women dominate tv or people having the opinion that women have more to do in tv than men, when all women do is the same thing...cry...grovel...beg...be abused. The one area of life where women dominate over men, they are still shown as weak, male-dependent and having to compromise their desires, aspirations and self-respect because of society.

Women's day needs to be a day where we realise that women need to be treated equally as men, rather than pretend that women are great and are being treated as equally as men, when in actual, they aren't, and we need to use this day to realise that actions needs to take place to make changes to the way we view women and their roles in society and the way we treat them. This realisation shouldn't just apply to men, but women too, as more than often women objectify other women more than men do nowadays and men's attitudes towards women can only be changed when women learn to respect themselves and each other.

Thank you for this post...i'm so annoyed at people always making out like Women dominate tv serials or that a serial is a female centric show (the way Jamai Raja was lauded as this great first Male centric show wen its not actually true).

Just naming a show after a woman and having them in every episode doesnt not make it a female centric show.

Especially wen its the male hero who always ends up saving the day and the women too...

They cast females in their shows and these women do nothing but cry and take abuse from the men and women in the show on a daily basis...

If anything their character regresses once they get married...they lose all the independece and free thought, their happiness once they get married and do nothing but take on abuse until their husbands kick them out of house (in most shows).



Meanwhile their male half is shown to be smarter, stronger and just better in every sense.

Also I've noticed if a female tries to stand up for herself then people on comments sections and open thousands of threads to call her cheap, characterless etc for the same things the males get a pass for.

This is why I love YRKKH cos Naira fights at every step, rebels at every step but without being obnoxious or rude about it...she doesn't just lie down and take Dadi's orders and I hope Naira stays the same.

So far its not let me down and I hope they dont change things for trp aunties (altho we're doing very good trp wise).
