#theavgmomwrites #misogyny #sexist
#smashthepatriarchy #feminist
So Yup I talk about the misogynistic society we live in & the more I write the more I find people come complaining & lament how feminists = feminazis. Umm, so here’s the thing, I love my bra(it’s very supportive!) & I don’t hate men. Coming from a privileged part of the society with a very cocooned life, I feel all the more inclined to write about the ingrained misogynistic practices in our society.
.
So here’s a thought on how patriarchy, sexism, misogyny is celebrated through our cinemas & social conversations. For all those who think that I am riled up for no reason, I am ready to take on some attackers & mansplainers. Its not just harmless cinema if it normalises, magnifies & often glorifies misogyny.

So, Is Adultery good or bad? No, am not here to pass a judgement about that today. But why is it so gender biased? Why is it still permissible, often justified in case of a man but you will never see it as acceptable for a woman? If it’s immoral then why is the scale different for the two genders?

Let’s not get serious after all I am only talking about Bollywood movie story lines, which are allowed to have a man as an adulterous being. That is somehow supposed to be funny yet you never find a “funny” joke or a story line about a woman adulteress?
.
There are so many such movies where the roving eye of a man is also seen as innocent behaviour. A man with a bit of loose character is just a harassed husband who needs some respite from his taxing married life. And what better way to do that than drooling over an highly objectified version of a woman in the shape of a secretary / neighbour etc dressed in high heels, red dress and dark lip colour.
Tell me how many jokes have you read about the tormented husband. Yes it’s a well known fact that men suffer in marriages. Of course the poor guys need some spice in his life!
.
Thus often having a fling (harmless) on the side & in some cases, even being married to 2 people at the same time can easily be justified by cinema writers. Oh yes the male protagonist deceives two women at a time, by marrying them both. Contd in comments

So, how many tissue papers can a preschooler actually use? 🤔 Is there an upper limit? The system goes like this; make mess, get messy. Throw a fit coz you got messy trying to make a mess. Get the tissue box. Use the tissues. End up with a lot of more mess albeit with mess which is now wrapped in tissue paper 🧻.
.
But what would I do without them. Water spills, milk spills, juice spills, colour spills, ☕️ spills, spit ups, throw ups...No wonder Its at the top of my grocery list. Anyone else relate? .

Is there an anytonym for FOMO? Fear of doing too much maybe? May be a new # watsay? FODTM? Nah! I have to think of something catchier.
Anyway this is what I have been feeling. I am a restless person who wants to do everything. I have seen quite a few women like me, in fact it is a common trait with many. Quite painful I tell you & the reason most of us are stretched like a rubber band.
I want to do a lot many things & have a lot of balls in the air mostly. Maintaining social media is no easy feat either. My love for writing helps me find a happy outlet & I am the happiest when I write something & share the same. All the content creators out there will relate to this. How satisfied you feel when you share something you created right?
But creating content is hard work too. More so because it has to be a continuous process. Whatever be your style; original, copied, inspired, free flowing, structured & planned, ghost written, google cut pasted, click baity, trend capitalising posts or even no caption but whatever it is that works for you, you have to keep giving that to your audience.
.
Content is king & it has to be continuous. It’s same across all SM. Then the task of keeping up engagement & trying to ascertain how to get the best from these platforms. It’s draining.

It’s not that I don’t take breaks or am at it continuously. But what I like to do best is do nothing & read. Read read read. That’s what I actually like to do, sit on my bed all day, drink coffee & read. That’s what I used to do most of my summer days as a kid. I had my play time, friends time but then I had plenty of time left over to relax, do nothing & to read. You see, I was not #adulting then.
But now I ALWAYS adult. I always have adult work pending on my list. I try so hard to relax, party, vacation, family time, me time but all of this takes time & I have no time left to do nothing & to read. Coz I am always doing something.
At times I think I will leave my job, throw away my laptop & phone & chuck out all nice clothes from the wardrobe, mine & theirs too(no laundry) & Ill sleep & read. Anyone else relate? @momtasticworld @themigratorymum (won’t do it though, heart can’t win this one)
