Manpreet Singh replied to the topic Should there be separate schools for boys and girls? in the forum Sexism & Patriarchy 2 years, 8 months ago
It is true that there are distinctions amongst children, but these are not so important to segregate them from the school. Children in the past have been segregated into genders for a Christian morality that does not exist at the present day. I believe that our schools should establish and nurture friendships between boys and girls and teach that…[Read more]

Manpreet Singh replied to the topic What do you think about changing of portrayal of women in Bollywood? in the forum Sexism & Patriarchy 2 years, 8 months ago
The story of every hero is incomplete in Indian cinema’s history without saving the heroine, the heroine, the “damsel in sorrow.” Though women’s participation has been vital in Indian cinéma, the question remains, is it an important instrument for constructing a patriarchal empire, or simply a stereotype?

We like to imagine we live in a world in which children are always protected against violence and abuse, but that’s not true. We must now face the truth that children are often assaulted and mistreated by their fragility and failure to fight.

Manpreet Singh replied to the topic The need to incorporate gender neutral (or gender inclusive) pronouns in every day speech and writing. in the forum Gender Justice 2 years, 8 months ago
Most of my terms are gendered words such as ‘girl,’ ‘queen,’ and ‘guy.’ Although I said these sentences lightly, they could provoke someone, not in these sentences who could not identify with the gender. The deep-rooted gender in our language — pronouns, names, possessives, phrases, etc. — has never occurred to me until I tried to talk of a per…[Read more]
