Even after living in a society that is moving towards feminism, there are a lot of things that women have been facing for a long time and are facing them still. And honestly, it is time to put a stop at these because not only they are wrong but we are simply tired of hearing them. Such statements make us feel insecure, self-conscious, uncomfortable, misunderstood, belittled and stereotyped. We are sure that you have heard quite a lot of these:
1. ‘You are in quite a mood, is it that time of the month?’
2. All the catcalls!
3. ‘You should be flattered that boys are paying that kind of attention to you.’
4. ‘Women go on a diet and eat only salads’
5. ‘Don’t you want to have babies soon. You must get pregnant as soon as possible after marriage’
6. ‘Isn’t your biological clock ticking?’
7. ‘It’s heavy, do you need help with that?’
8. ‘ Women know nothing about sports.’
9. ‘Don’t cut your hair so short, you look like a boy and besides, guys like them long!’
