Also encourage your daughters to be able to have their own self worth. Please do not teach them sacrifice is the only way they will be accepted in society.
Absolutely correct! Getting married and looking after a man and his household is not their destination. They should also encourage their daughter's to have financial independence. My Mumma told me one thing that no matter how much you love your husband, always always have your own bank account and have at least one year worth of savings in there. That is your money and your back up plan! She said my grandmother had one, she has one, and all of us sisters have one too. Love is all good but independence is more important. Teach your daughters to educate themselves, and learn to live a life which if they choose to have kids, they should be proud of. And if they choose not to have kids then they can live their life guilt free. And never ever ever be the second class citizen in the name of compromise. I think if each person starts doing it, then we are in a good path.
So true, someone does not have to be related to you to talk about them with basic decency, and that is just a major turn-off. I am sorry you had to deal with that. Talking about culture shock, I also recall being in college in a foreign country, and I was appalled by sexist remarks made by my peers, especially coz we were always shown back home how people outside are sophisticated and idealistic. I think I am thankful though how it made me start to see that irrespective of where you are, there is a certain mentality which is common in most men.
It is empathizing isn't it? Sexist men exist everywhere they are not conformed to one place, town or city. I have faced it myself where I get called "little lady"!!!! I am 5'11!!!!!! By no means little but it sounds cute to them. I have had to multiple times tell men not to call me sugar, baby, hon, darlin, cutie etc etc. I am none of those and specially not when I don't even know you from Adam. The only benefit is awareness, in western world there is an awareness that certain behavior is not going to be tolerated as opposed to Indian subcontinent where the coming generation is speaking up but in the name of tradition some very archaic rituals are performed. I remember being told to do karwachaut and neither my husband nor I believe in it. I don't want to fast for a man's long life, and in my opinion if he wants to live longer he can fast himself and ask god to give him a longer life, why should I starve myself? Thankfully Rohan hates that too and refused that he doesn't want all that and he definitely doesn't want to live that long that one has to start fasting and depriving themselves of food. Second was, gadhthuti ceremony. My mother and sister are Gynecologists' and when they heard that they were so upset. An infant should not be fed honey or anything after birth! I get there are customs and people follow it but there was also custom of "Sati" and people followed it back then. I don't see many women sitting on the pyre to die with their husband anymore. So having a custom doesn't mean it is the right custom and as we change with time and science - that awareness is absolute must.
And we should encourage those who have started and tried to make a change. Subjecting someone to torture just for having different sexual preferences than you (and mind you, the other party may not have even done or said anything indecent, just dressed according to the gender they believe they should be), it just hurts my soul to hear such horrid instances.
OMG!!!! This!!!!!! I hate when people don't understand what LGBTIA+ means. And that being gay is a choice. What is a choice is how you react to someone who does not meet your ideals of normal. I don't care what you want you want to be, I have no right to put you in a box which I feel you should fit in and accept it. When one is an adult then they have a right to be what they want to be and if they are brave enough to come out and be open then if you cannot accept it, stop insulting their choice. Other thing I hate is right to choose. How all conservative men decides how women should do with their bodies. In Texas they passed a bill that even if a woman or even a child gets raped and then pregnant she has to carry that child full term and if she chooses to have an abortion then anyone can sue her. The men also gets the right to see the child - so basically not only they are violated once, but forced to carry that violator's child, and then see him on a routine basis to relive that trauma!!!! I have always said that if men can get pregnant, you can have abortions on the street corners.
The Pakistani show I was talking about earlier addressed the child marriage and baby issue but everyone wanted the couple to be together. They were kids. One was 15 and other 16 - the complications a kid can have carrying a baby full term and then delivery are numerous and to romanticize that is tantamount to promoting pedophilia. I was appalled at some comments, thankfully the makers stuck to the script and the kids divorce and make their future individually.
In this show Mahavir will learn the hard way how his actions have reactions. He has disappointed me a lot and now I have nothing for him. He is a character how one should not be! If you look his father although bad knew the basic principles of justice and yes he took wrong advice all the time, he followed process. Here we see that is not being done and whatever great king mahavir wants, great king mahavir gets.
Both Dhruv and Tara and even Anusiya will forgive him, that is fine it is their nature, I don't have to. I will keep on accentuating his flaws and if he does redeems himself good, otherwise who cares about a person who is this useless?
