1. You are a girl, take Arts. Why struggle with Engineering?
Okay, firstly, no one is struggling. Secondly, Arts is an equally great and difficult subject to pursue and lastly, what makes one think it’s hard for women to study engineering or it is useless because they anyway get married and stay at home? You study for your satisfaction and passion! Creeps!
2. You can’t drive, let me do it.
No, I can drive better than but kindly keep your judgements and useless myths to yourself!
3. Try natural looks. Why do you wear so much makeup?
A kajal and some gloss keep the skin and lip fresh and glowing and secondly even if we contour our face every day its none of your business? We wear makeup for ourselves and not for you to comment.
4. Can you never be humourous? Why so serious?
Because your face and your opinion are super irritating for me to even be a little funny.
5. Do you know anything about sports? But, you’re a girl!
P.V.Sindu, Sakshi Malik, and Saina Nehwal, can you punch these people in the face, please?
6. Come on! You are getting old. Marry soon or you won’t be able to have a kid.
Well, that’s more of a fact than a stereotype but what makes people possibly assume that just because we are born with a certain set of genitals, maternal instincts are bound to kick in our 20s, ushering us to our glorious motherhood phase? Well, some of us still feel new to this adulting thing, so just get off our backs okay?
7. Don’t women hate other women?
We don’t like some women at times but women love women because of the universal arc of our experiences in an overwhelmingly misogynist world. We hold each other’s hands, pick each other up after heartbreaks and give the best fashion advice. Our best girls always have our backs, come what may!
