1. Constantly having to prove yourself! From the time we were born out of Adam's ribs! Oh my GOD! we must prove we are not second in intelligence, we are not hysterical, we are not always Premenstrual, we do not go on talking incessantly of inane things, we are not trivial, we are not by nature jealous of other women......
2. Having to act stupid! ufff! my pet peeve, for if you're half as intelligent than the next oaf of a man and you have the wonderful fate of either being married to him or working for him - you must pretend to be insanely stupid! for otherwise all furies will be let loose and you will see no peace till kingdom come!
3. Having to Hook a man to prove our femininity, desirability and marketability. It's a cruel joke played on us, that we must be gauged by nailing a non-entity and then pretending to feel powerful about it ufffff!
4. Being stuck with house-work! tedious, mundane, repetitious and simply boring. why? why? why?
5. Having to don a dupatta on our head to prove how virtuous we are in this country, and by a miracle of god actually convincing others by doing so!
6. When we're accused of being a bitch every time we show some mettle or stick to our stance, or simply have a bad day.
7. Being cut in half - literally - in a court of law when giving evidence.
8. Being thrust with the gargantuan and virtually impossible task of gathering 4 good and reliable witnesses while being raped.
9. Not being allowed to sign clause 18 on the nikah nama!
10, Being equated to a body! and belittled as such into boobs and assess.
