In a patriarchal society such as ours, sex crimes are normalized. Even many of our super hit movies and most popular books (I am not naming them to avoid controversy) revel in depicting women as subhuman entities. I also believe that patriarchy has sustained so long as many women indulge in it to boost their own egos, like the groom's mother mistreating the bride's mother, a woman who doesn't drink/smoke/live-in/wear short dresses slut-shaming those who do, a young married woman pestering/making fun of her unmarried friend etc. Sex crimes are no different from other kinds of humiliation women face because of their gender. I think such things can be reduced if all women unite and stop pushing each other down for petty power games.Lahari Mahalanabishhttp://theserpentacursedrhyme.blogspot.com/?m=1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854740779787893380.post-34495245266642081312020-09-26T11:53:58.201+05:302020-09-26T11:53:58.201+05:30Ha ha... yes autocorrect is another of God's w...Ha ha... yes autocorrect is another of God's ways to dispose... thank you...Shubhrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364439943854785245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854740779787893380.post-86017531161558618842020-09-25T21:17:54.795+05:302020-09-25T21:17:54.795+05:30Man proposes, God disposes!

If that is what one wants, the work which emerges is constricted and confined. But there really is a battle in letting oneself go and liberating oneself and not giving a flying f about ones own expectations or others.Priya.Naikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490905289815345667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854740779787893380.post-14571958569865417272020-07-31T16:39:05.035+05:302020-07-31T16:39:05.035+05:30Well i m very judgemental about my work & tryi...Well i m very judgemental about my work & trying to do everything as perfectly as possible.

You did what you had do. We learn from our mistakes and you’ll never forget this one. Just as I never forgot the episode when I clicked on a link and shared it. My first experience of phishing or something in those lines. We live and learn and our mistakes make in testing stories to tell as well, as much as they are reasons to explore our psyche and why we do what we do. Apparently the purpose of human existence, so I’d say you’re on true course. Keep travelling. Keep writing.

Most of the time I respond emotionally to art, beautiful and the not so beautiful ( ugly, never) transports me into a lightness of being. <br />What you have written highlights the fact that art is an intellectual exercise and I guess it is the final outcome of a process which starts emotionally, the intellect assimilates it and the outcome is art which is always beautiful.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351385373329157925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854740779787893380.post-30213051378906219202020-06-19T10:29:34.283+05:302020-06-19T10:29:34.283+05:30Very empathetic and true.
