aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Compromise and kill your dream in silence, just because what will people say? in the forum General Discussions 3 years, 7 months ago
Women are always considered not worthy enough compared to men. They are expected to do things that keep them subjugated and the best women according to patriarchal norms, is a woman who is not opinionated and has no dreams save for serving her husband, his family and taking care of household chores and children.
When a girl is growing up, it’s a…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Beauty Standards for Women in the forum Sexism & Patriarchy 3 years, 7 months ago
Unrealistic beauty standards are problematic for many reasons.
Considering the exceptional increase in the usage of social media among youngsters, it has become the norm to compare oneself to another prettier, slimmer and lighter-skinned influencer. When influencers promote beautification products while using feminism as a tool to do so, it…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji started the topic Does domestic violence affect children at home? in the forum Gender-based Violence 3 years, 7 months ago
When there is domestic violence at home, it is the women who are assumed to be most affected by it. While women are affected by it, it is also important that we take into account the trauma that the domestic violence afflicts upon the kids present at the moment. Being forced to watch their father beating their mother is going to leave them…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Unplanned pregnancies and abortions are increasing every year. in the forum Reproductive Health & Rights 3 years, 7 months ago
In a country like India, where sex education or anything related to sex is considered as taboo, there can be a lot of unplanned pregnancies and abortions.
First of all, talking about unplanned pregnancies brings us to our first topic of concern; sex education. When there is no sex education provided to teenagers and when adults too have no clue…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Marital rape isn't legal, and that's okay? in the forum Rights & Laws 3 years, 8 months ago
In a country where there’s no sex education to teach the youth and old people what consent is, how to practice safe sex, and anything about women’s pleasure, it would be even more impossible to believe that marital rape IS criminalized.
In India, it is a known fact that everyone prioritizes family over other people, and once a woman is mar…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence at least once in their life in the forum Gender-based Violence 3 years, 8 months ago
When it is said that one in three women face sexual harassment or assault once in their lives, I think it is an understatement. From my experience and all other experiences that I’ve heard, all women have gone through at least one form of abuse, whether it be physical or sexual.
When men claim that they’ve never promoted rape culture, they jus…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Marriages often fail because…… in the forum Sexism & Patriarchy 3 years, 8 months ago
Marriage as an institution is one that thrives on mutual love, respect, and care for one another. If one of these facets fails, there is a chance of it not being a successful one.
Of course, different people have different views on how an ideal marriage would be, but normally, especially in a developing country like India, a marriage is usually…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Women Exploitation in Modern Society in the forum Sexism & Patriarchy 3 years, 8 months ago
Every year on March 8th Women’s Day is celebrated with great vigour by men and women alike, to appreciate the women in their lives and the work they do. But it should be noticed that as soon as the day is over, they return to their daily old lives that continue to exploit women. It is unknown to most people that they do this because it comes to t…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Women typically earn less and hold less secure jobs than men. in the forum Gender Justice 3 years, 8 months ago
The moment anyone talks about the ever-growing and evident wage gap between men and women, there is always someone who claims that the gender gap is a myth and that women and men are equal socially, economically, and politically these days. In addition to that, they make sure to attach a random fabricated poll to prove their misogynistic point.…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Female actresses should not use their femininity for promotion. in the forum Sexism & Patriarchy 3 years, 8 months ago
‘Female actresses should not use their femininity for promotion.’ The sentence already sounds like it was said by a spiteful, jealous male actor. 🙂
It is instilled in children from the moment they are born that anyone who is feminine or embraces femininity is inferior or weaker. Be it, men or women, if (God forbid) anyone expresses a fem…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic Toys should be gender neutral in the forum Sexism & Patriarchy 3 years, 8 months ago
It is often forgotten that a child remembers and internalises his first view of the world, from home. No matter how insignificant the action is, the child subconsciously learns it and imitates it. For example, the way a parent treats the co-parent, in case of physical abuse, it is normalized in a child’s mind that that’s how parents treat each oth…[Read more]

aishwaryaaji replied to the topic A woman has the sole decision in requesting an abortion. in the forum Maternal Health 3 years, 8 months ago
Men all over the world have a belief that they have the right to a woman’s body and what she chooses to do with it. Be it regarding abortions, consensual sex, or even the clothes she chooses to wear. Letting women have autonomy over their own choices has been a difficult thing for men to do since the beginning of time, and if women step out of…[Read more]
