Hey all, 

Hope you are doing fine. So recently I got across this idea that every time a girl is born she is taught and told to adjust, comprise, stay silent even when she needs to speak up, act shy and innocent, be bleak and just always take orders from others. All of this and even more than this is asked out of a girl just because it is her duty as a girl to listen to all this and follow what she is told to do so. For instance, she is mostly required to know how to cook, how to keep her house sorted, how to handle children because one day she has to become someone’s wife, someone’s daughter- in-law, someone’s mother and so. So this way they justify all of this and very conveniently and confidently ask girls to follow all this without any questions. And yes above all of this we are not even allowed to ask questions or ask for reasons behind these baseless theories that they make us follow irrespective of our grades, job, dreams and whatnot. Mostly it’s us who are asked to adjust, to comprise. Why, because this patriarchal society can’t see a woman reaching heights, being independent, working and earning. They just can’t absorb the fact that even women can work and earn the same as they do and then can even handle the house at the same time without complaining. 

I guess most of you will agree with me here that men do have a habit of controlling, commanding, dictating and ruling things or people around them that’s also the reason why today we are living in a patriarchal society. Also, on the other hand, women from the beginning of the time have been considered as weak and that’s the reason why even till date this myth is believed by all and believe me or not but even today some people consider a male child over a female one, some people abort a girl child just because they consider them as a burden, some people won’t let their daughters study just because they believe that teaching girls is useless because one day she has to become a housemaker only and this way a girl is never asked what she desires or craves for. 

A girl pleads for recognition, for equality, for approval, for acceptance. 

Thank you.
