The male gaze is still prevalent in our society, irrespective of the cultural dynamics. In a layman’s language, witnessing the male gaze is not a comforting experience because it relates to sexual objectification. In the entertainment industry, the male gaze is a common phenomenon. Each series or movie would lead a man to perform leadership or…[Read more]

Society expects women to display their marital status to regulate their behavior in the community. For example, an unmarried woman should not be holding contraception or a pregnancy kit. Such behaviors only suit married women. The orthodox is present in all the cultures, but more commonly in the Indian society, irrespective of the religion.…[Read more]

I think women are barely free in Free India. The adjective could enhance the country, but it denies the fundamental women’s rights. The world enthroned a party when Kamala Harris became the U.S. Vice President because she was the first woman who had achieved this positive. Not only her gender played a role, but her color too. We live in a world…[Read more]

The worse nightmare for a transgender in our society is not what happens around, but going to jail in a male or female block. I witnessed the first torture and discrimination against the community in an Indian web series. Some born identity themselves as men, women, or third sex, but the Indian prisons do not identify them as either.

Inside the…[Read more]

We know that some societies still do not allow women to attend schools and colleges when on their period. But the situation is far worse in rural areas or in countries like India, where poverty is high. Both food and sanitary napkin is a necessity, yet women in poverty choose food over period infection.

Period or menstruation stigma exists…[Read more]

It is a misconception to state two subjects with gender identities. Not to mention it is a sexist statement, but the question is why people still believe this. In a layman’s language, science represents biological aptitude, while social science or humanities represents sociological aptitude. The thing such statements miss is that a human has…[Read more]

Globally, women’s access to education is highly less than men’s. This obstacle is not only prevalent in rural but also urban areas. One of the reasons for to lack of education among women is trafficking. In today’s time, it is not only a business, but some women are forced to be trafficked by their family members. The violence does not restrict…[Read more]

Before society prevails the dominance of a working mother, there are things done within a family that set up an idea of how a woman’s life changes after having a child. It does not matter if a woman leaves her ambitions to be with her child. As a woman, I hear a lot about why I should have chosen teaching over a freelancing career or tech-savvy…[Read more]

One may not know this, but homosexuality was never prohibited in Ancient India. The love of the same sex was equally accepted as heterosexual love with no judgments. However, things changed when the British came as they took a step against homosexuality. Thereby, homosexuality is not against Indian culture. But as British brainwashed the love of…[Read more]

The first thought that came to my mind when I first read this question was, no! Women are not at all safe to travel in public transport. Sexual assault or eve-teasing is a common assault when traveling in a bus, rickshaw, cab, or even metro.

Even separating a train coach for women does not reduce the assaults in any public transport. Many a time,…[Read more]

In general, the gender divide is a talk show in the entire world; especially, when the stats of income vary a lot. As mentioned, the covid-19 has jeopardized the opportunities for women in the everyday scenario. I agree that before covid, things were better.

We can say that the…[Read more]

I think it is another sexist statement that women are emotional than men. It is weird how there is always a line of comparison drawn between sexes to act in society. I think we all have independent emotions, and it depends upon us how to work on them. One can say that it depends on how a parent nurtures their child. Any emotional intelligence is…[Read more]

It is a worldwide acknowledgment that mental health is not a priority of most people. Imagine how many people consider mental health when one applies for a job that may or may not require 24×7 attention. So when you are living in a world like this, mental health stands out as a taboo. When did you think it is essential to regard mental health as…[Read more]

The process of unlearning is the most challenging equilibrium in society. Since childhood, school taught us that anyone who does not identify as s/he must be identified as they/them/their. It is an approach which the previous generations did not question. None of us ever thought of the need to use pronouns as per one’s gender. This way, the…[Read more]

In the age of the modern world, the beginning of equity should have begun from this step. Earlier, the condemnation of different ages for women and men was considering the maturity factor. But the fact is that men are as mature as women, and there is no age to justify it.
