Why don’t my parents understand that subjecting women to certain jobs is not okay?! I am a 17yr old girl. They expect me to not revert back because reverting them back is proving them wrong and they think that they are never wrong, whatever they are saying is always right.
Body shaming me, sometimes comparing me with my cousins and my friends on the basis of my academics and appearance. This hurts like anything.
They think that I should be more polite, know how to cook, do the household chores. Bro, I’m not interested in doing household chores.
I can do the cooking but not the household chores. I am not interested in that.
But you know if a girl cannot do these things, she won’t be able to find a man. No matter what happens, it is the girl who has to adjust.
I actually don’t say anything to them anymore because now I have understood that their upbringing was done in such a society so eventually it’s entirely no their fault. But still, they should see the things from our generation’s respective too.
I am really annoyed by this mentality of theirs.

Not a girl, but I can totally feel your frustration
And I have given up, I do whatever I feel like doing, sometimes I have fight with them and I do, sometimes I have to make them understand and I do
At the end of the day you have to sit down and have a conversation
You might come across as rude but it’s needed
Making them understand is not being rude
Ikr! if I answer them back it means I’m being rude.
Thanks for the reply though. <3

As a girl, I can totally agree.I also get body shamed, insulted,compared to my classmates by my parents. But you know what you do you,no matter what. It’s your life your decisions. I know you can do this. Everything will be ok,trust me.
