My Take

Girls are subjected to a lot of judgement. Why???

Yes, I am a girl and I talk like a girl, walk like a girl and cry like a girl. I'm not weak or ashamed of it. I am a girl and I meant to do things like a girl only but that doesn't make me any less. It's funny how you compare my gender to compare my capabilities and worth in society. 

I have grown up listening to people saying me

"You are too skinny, eat."

"what are you wearing? You are too fat to wear that."

"You're wearing that?! Your clothing is distracting boys."

"You'd be soo much prettier if you wore makeup."

"You're wearing too much makeup. You look like a clown."

"You can't sit like that."

"Girls, they complain about anything and everything."

"Girls can't do that. That is a man's job."

"May I speak to the man of the house."

But I always asked myself that what made them say those things to me, what made them say my clothing is the distraction, what made them say I can't do a man's job, what made them think that I'm weak and can't be the man of my house. 

And girls, its okay if you cant be another Priyanka Chopra or Mary Kom. You don't have to look good all the time. Just embrace yourself and try to discover your inner strength. You are not a liability, you are efficient enough to earn bread for you and your family too. Your clothing is not a distraction, their intentions are wrong.
