It is occurred that women cry by bearing in mind their inability to act when they are made into a physical and mental sufferings by men in their life. They are just crying at that part without doing anything. I hereby intended to talk about whether crying is a sign of weakness or strength. A psychological research says Crying is a self-soothing behaviour. It is so not a sign of weakness, but a sign of courage and strength.
Expressing how you feel through tears is healthy…but I could say don’t cry when you don’t want to release the exhaustion, despite what you have gone through, because crying will make you release emotions.
Crying helps you heal and process your emotions. This is hitting hard. So, don’t cry. Remember patriarchal society is waiting still to subjugate women. As a woman, don’t cry to the entrapped situation in life, just act in an angered goddess’. NOT TO FEAR. What if the entire world’s pain comes in front of you? Deal the problems and pains with your heads-up attitude and firing eyes…
- Don’t cry or commit suicide if you are rapped, hurt their penis or even cut that instead.
- Don’t cry if you are cheated by your partner; instead question them directly with a poison in the hand for them.
- Don’t cry if you are threatened by your naked picture; instead chin up & walk into the street as you always do.
- Don’t cry if you are caught at street harassment, mercilessly do stoning to death to him instead.
- Don’t cry if your trusted boyfriend misconduct you sexually, just slap him by your verbal abuses.
- Don’t cry if you are undergoing physical and psychological abuse within the domestic sphere, instead flog at them as if with a whip and move on perversely.
- Don’t cry if you are made to standout by widowing; prove them with your success then.
- Don’t cry if you are in toxicity with any relationships; remember there are more red flags to be kept.
The male chauvinists now teasing you will bow at you one day. The males have to pay the debt of gratitude to all the women in their lives like mothers, daughters and sisters. Your confidence is the key to your life in this judgemental society. Use this light to find the evils in front of you. Learn to MISTRUST BEFORE YOU TRUST. Suspect everybody in your life. Protection of virginity for women against men is still a war in India. This is another discomfort for me that the war that has been going on for decades. Let our next generation can be free from such protection.
Remember, DON’T CRY FIRST. The world is wider in feminist thoughts and energy. JUST NOT TO FEAR. YOU CAN DO IT, AT ALL.
