Insta BUZZ: 7 Things Women Are Tired Of Hearing

By Bhumika Chitkara

We, as women, go through a lot of unwanted judgements and accusations by society. And we surely are tired of hearing these things! From the questions about getting married to being the perfect person for everyone, these statements never leave us alone. It's so funny how things like ghar ki izzat, shaadi ki umar, biological clock and many more such things are common to both women and men, but surprisingly, women are the ones who are under the constant pressure of following them. 

We at Girls Buzz believe in breaking these stereotypes and taking a stand for women who are going through such things! In today's episode of Insta Buzz, we are here to comment on 7 things women are seriously tired of hearing; at least we are!

The question, “ When are you getting married?”:

Seriously, we are more than tired of repeatedly listening to this question! When have we ever heard of this question being asked to a boy? It rarely happens! All society cares about is a man to settle well in his choice of career and a girl to get married. ‘Kar lengi ladkiyan shaadi jab karni hogi, pehle career to banane do.’

Things that are not allowed for the sake of “Ghar ki Izzat”:

‘Jab ghar ka chirag ladka hai toh ghar ki izzat ladkiyan kyu?’ Why, every time a guy does something, never arises any question, but when a girl does it, there are hundreds of people ready to point fingers at her? Why should a girl carry the burden of ‘Ghar ki izzat?’

The constant reminders about the biological clock:

Do we ever realise that the biological clock does not just click for women but men too? So why just remind women of it? We know we are ageing and are not very happy about it, lol! So don’t remind us of it! Having children is not the ultimate goal of life; remember it. Your body, your personal choice.

The duties and responsibilities of a perfect daughter, wife, DIL and mother:

Half of a woman’s life goes into being the “perfect” person in every relationship, be it as a wife, a parent, a DIL or even a daughter. Why can she just not be a normal human being? Why does she have to be perfect in everything? If your son or husband can make a mistake, so can a woman! Don’t make a big deal about it. 

The need to go with the flow and not rebel, being a woman:

The only word expected to come out of a woman’s mouth is ‘yes.’ She is not allowed to say no! And if she tries to take a stand for herself, toh sab kahenge ki ladki haath se nikal rahi hai, iski shaadi karao. Like seriously, how getting a girl married is the solution to everything? Hilarious, isn’t it?

The constant judgements and accusations by society:

Classic Jigyasa aunty, if you know, you know, lol! Sometimes, it feels like some people are so free in their lives that they just sit and judge others. Seriously, put your brains into something productive! We are super sick and tired of these constant judgements and accusations; let us live!

Patriarchal acceptance and the need to bow down before men at all levels:

This is just bizarre; just because you are born as a male does not give you the right to be correct in every situation. Women are not born to accept patriarchy and bow in front of men. Then these men make fun of feminism which they don’t understand exists because of them.
