"So today we find people praising women and calling her a pillar of strength and talking about her resilience. The patriarchal labels of wife, sister, mother and daughter are given to her and suddenly she is compared to a deity too. Please do not raise us on this false pedestal. Accept a woman as a flawed messed up human being too, who might not be a saint 24*7. For every one woman you project as a saint or Mother India you look with contempt at thousands who don’t conform-a prostitute, a lesbian, a woman who enjoys sex and any ordinary woman who thinks for herself. You vilify those who flee from stereotypes and don’t fit into society defined roles. How about just respecting a woman as a human being?-All labels aside. Do not make a woman a paragon of virtue for one day".
