Hope you would agree with me when I say that the actual oppressor of a female is usually another female.
A typical conversation at a social meeting between females would include queries about the meals cooked, lashing about body weight, complexion, parenting style, dressing style, weddings attended/missed and all those insignificant nothings that have no part in adding to the value of life.
Why do women purposefully behave as if they possess low intellect?
Why are they so bent on hurting the feelings of another with their inconsiderate curiosities?
Why do they talk so highly about attending wedding functions as if it is equivalent to visiting the moon?
Why do women appraise another female based on the amount of jewellery she is wearing?
Why do women take the authority to hurl complaints on a visiting relative? In what way is it ethically right to verbally abuse someone who has taken the time to visit you?
Why do they always make it a point to give weight-reduction tips to new mothers as if their self-worth revolves on their weight only?
Why do women talk as if serving their husbands is the prime duty of a female and looking slim and beautiful to the husband is the sole purpose of a wife?
Only when a woman is unshackled from the eccentricities of other women can she achieve true liberation.
To those females out there who agree with me, let us vow to never put down another female.
