SOME MYTH BREAKING POINTS ABOUT WOMEN

Opting for gender as it is a closer experience,
we would like to focus on why we must hand on
access to platforms of privilege to the
marginalized, over speaking on their behalf,
about their experiences as they watch from the
sidelines. Conversations of social constructs
like gender need to be looked at
intersectionality. Academic discourse is infamous
for having at the center stage only straight,
male, white voices. A paradigm shift here needs
to make the information young, and impressionable
minds process more representative. many girls
schools in Dehradun teach their students about
importance of women representation.

REPRESENTATION
Writing is always imbued with passion it relates
to our existence. Hence, even if brilliant and
engaging, our stories will never be honest unless
said in the first person. These narratives are
not mere fables they tell us of a people we will
never live like. Patriarchy is not a symptom, but
the system itself, rotten at its core. It shows
that the modern world was built by the male
specimen, to paraphrase Greta Thunberg. Men
cannot write of women because the fact that our
experiences vary astronomically is overlooked.
The advances in feminization have now extended to
branches of persecution Americans write about
poverty, two out of three of the beggars are now
women. Id be mistaken if I believed these were
the strides we wanted to take as a
collective. And the fact that gender in
mainstream conversations is no longer a binary
baffles those protected by the status quo. Trans
Lives Matter and Gender is a social construct
is a sentence every politically aware and charged
youngster our generation will tell you. But are
the people we bring to houses of change
listening? Voices in protest will always come
from the forced periphery, and it is our duty as
a people to give it centrality for it to
influence the money that flows, the seats in
power occupied. We must teach youth tales of
those who do not define the norm.

MIS MANIPULATION OF REPRESENTATION
It is easy to mistake that the change harbinger
is enough because we are not taught to see
critically. Why are movies written about women by
everyone but them? Why do the prominent hold
others back in their progress? Because the
current structures teach us that our ideals of
contentment and success come at the cost of
others. Empathy as a mass emotion holds no
ground. Sympathy has often driven artists to
create photographers take pictures of the ailing
in hutments everyones second aunt writes of
oppression when our armed forces are attacked.
But this feeling only lends a sense of
sociability to our actions. Regardless of
intention, our visualization and persuasion in
matters of the world will always be lacking, as
our agency is handicapped, for it is not
originally ours. Like Adam Smith had said, our
interest and imagination delude the right thing
to be said. However, unfortunately, the lopsided
continues as these self-styled representatives
comment on lives and legacies that are not their
own. Another thing to add, sympathy is distant
it looks from far away and feels sorry. This is
misplaced for the purposes it seeks to serve. The
concern is, more often than not, egotistical and
narrow. This dynamic should not be simplified in
terms of rewarding those who come out on top or
labeling those who speak against it as
courageous. Instead, identify the horrible need
to have to do these things in the first place. We
survive in a matrix of domination, and feminist
thought of all colors, races, and sexualities
must be allowed to breathe.

GENDER BIAS
One may argue about the merits of bias, speedy
scrutiny, aiding choice, and target detection
the list will go on for as long as we want to
distract. But this is a thin line when we talk of
Oppression Olympics within an institution as
pervasive as this one. Of course, this is a
process of community learning and unlearning, and
it is not like the marginalized sustain
themselves on a vendetta. But while that explains
things to an extent, it does not make
justification or reparation. Moving ahead must be
about affirmative action. The intention is too
flaky a basis. No statistical power drives this
model, and the heightened tolerability of the
damned must not be condoned. Write and write of
lives you have not lived, not for them. Borrow
what is not yours instead of adopting a haphazard
amalgamation which is just shades of the
governing with the hint of the rest. There needs
to be an account of the unheard and
unacknowledged, for if circumstance forbids
current subjugators do not engage with, their
successors do. Work must not fetishize the female
experience.

THE RIGHT PATH
Something as persuasive and personal as
literature should especially honor the sanctity
of the writer. Mothers teach their children to
write from our hearts and not our egos, but how
do we write honestly when the material we jot by
digging deep is a false or stolen construct?
Makes you wonder why rapists like Alfred Hitchock
and Pablo Neruda are still being shoved down our
throats in the school curriculum. Movements span
decades and draw from a common body of work,
making it essential for truths spoken here to be
evergreen. We can achieve that by having those at
the help who have been blindsided for these very
decades. It is powerful, ever-evolving, and
persevering and, thus, should not be boxed into
typical characters holding the mic. To be
dramatic, books are the harmony of people, but if
not all of them get to participate, we repeatedly
choose to leave out those who continue to exist
for our comfort and insulation. There will come
those in the revolution who shall demand every
single one to walk astride, and then this
topples. As per the international schools in
Dehradun, It is also imperative to see
microaggressions (subtle discriminations). Often,
neutrality and invisibility are a bigger crime in
gaps in rights and liberties (think Dante
Alighieri). To answer the question shortly, yes,
a writers experience as a member of a particular
group comes through their works raw
authenticity. Ethically anyway, it is only and
only their position to occupy.
