A Pandemic Teen

    The misogynistic Indian society  The society that we have today according to me is divided into 2 different groups of women. The women with privilege and women without it. The women with privilege come from urban cities meanwhile women without it comes from rural India and small-town India And today I wanna talk about women without privilege who every day of their lives live in a world that is full of patriarchy and misogyny.

I am pretty sure most of you would have said no. I remember my reaction when the lockdown was announced last year in march, how scared and confused I felt, just like so many people out there. I remember rushing to the grocery store with my father near me and buying as many things I could get, thinking I may not get them later. Wondering how online school is going to look like and what am I going to do at home for 2 months. But here we are 2 years later living in a realit
