They are called modern in every era
For they dare to be different
Push the social boundaries
Ask explanation for traditions
That paint them weak,
Keep them away from power,
Burden them with responsibility,
Curb their right to choose
and push them to just follow-
the mores and customs & practices
most of which they despise.
She is often caught and pulled back
by this social web
so intricately knit
that guides her look
her every move
her every choice
because she fears being an outcast
It is so skillfully made
That even in her rebel too she tortures herself
to fit a checklist of liked/ desirable women
From waxing her body to wear that shorts/skirt
to compromising her career for family
it all looks fair and part of peaceful living.
