My mother the feminist

Lifestyle Relationships
1

She can’t help it. Poor woman, she is my inspiration - her and my father. My father is also a feminist. He is a humanitarian by accident and my mother is a feminist.

She tries so hard not to be. She runs her own business, all the time thinking she is commiting an evil (but not really believing it) - is at the heart of the community (everyone looks up to her) but she can’t reconcile herself to this fact.

The other day she told me I shouldn’t laugh so loudly. baitioh ke awaz nahin ahni chaiyeh (she proclaimed loudly) I nearly killed myself in mirth.

I am not allowed to laugh loudly, and yet am fully allowed to travel halfway across the world by-my-self..

I should not be heard in front of the males - and yet should take part in all school productions/dramas.

As a female it is my job to clean up, but my brothers responsibility to clean the kitchen, wash the dishes and hoover the house.

God bless her.

Thats cute, hiccy.

My mom is very independent, but some of Ammie's views do contradict (as do some of mine), I love her nonetheless.

I believe humans will always have tensions of opposites. smile

No lollypop sahib, there is none of this unexpressedness on my side. I’ve told her I want to be just like her when I am fully grown. (as opposed to partially grown).

I’m not complaining, its endearing imo. :D. I just wanted to share.

Ashy, as if your kids would be even 1/10000000000000000th as amazing as me :rolleyes:
