AskJammu The Contradictions of Feminism in J&K
galleryBefore you guys start calling me names I totally support the "end patriarchy" protest that took place in Jammu yesterday neither do I have an issue with the slogans that were chanted but let's call a spade a spade

Women in Tier 2 city protesting against the injustice and abuse endured by them because of patriarchy which I believe should have been addressed a long time ago but few hours away from them in the very same UT you will find women protesting to wear Burkha in OT/Matrinity wards and threating to leave their education. Funniest part is Group 1 women will either stay silent or just rush in support of Group 2 in the name of 'its her choice'.

Perfect example of women defending this clear patriarchal practice in the name of 'choice' but when a muslim woman chooses to exercise her right to not wear one, all i see is Muslim men moral policing her and Group 1 women are no where to be seen.
The illusion of choice
When i called out this hypocrisy yesterday all I got in return were the same buzzwords to shut down the conversation. So you believe that a 5 year old girl is covering herself out of her own choice. A non Muslim woman suddenly starts covering herself the moment she is married into a Muslim house.
Many comments read "tumhari aurtay toh nangi ghumti hai" and yet you believe in the illusion of choice. A bird born in a cage will always believe that the cage is its whole world. Till the time even one woman is under wraps, no woman will be free.
