Yes, I'm a woman.

I'm a woman; I can do anything, but with permission from someone.

I'm a woman; I oddly get to choose my fashion attire. I'm a woman; yes, I'm judged based on my dressing.

I'm a woman; people think that I don't know how to drive just because I'm a woman.

I'm a woman, my comfort doesn't matter. I'm a woman; I don't feel safe whenever I step out of my house. I'm a woman, and I get weird looks and stares from men.

I'm a woman, and I'm expected not to get close to a lot of men. I'm a woman; I'm taught martial arts to not get raped by men rather than them teaching not to misbehave towards a woman.

I'm a woman; my parents get scared whenever I don't pick up their calls. I'm a woman; I always feel like someone is following me.

I'm a woman; if I get sexually assaulted, it's either my fault or my mother should have taken better care of me.

I'm a woman; I should have dressed properly to not get raped (Oh yes, I get raped even if I wear a hijab). I'm a woman; I get raped no matter what my age is.

I'm a woman; I can go on a bike ride around the world and get raped when I come to India. I'm a woman; I get raped by 400 men and get brutally killed and still struggle to get justice.

I'm a woman; it's scary to travel in public vehicles.

I'm a woman, and I'm the pride of my family, yet they couldn't hear my opinions. I'm a woman; I'm asked to 'adjust' every time.

I'm a woman; I'm not supposed to shout against men.

I'm a woman and I should be grateful for the freedom I've got.

I'm a woman; I'm demanded to take care of everyone around me who doesn't know how to take care of themselves. I'm a woman, and if my kid isn't performing well, then it's my mistake.

I'm a woman; I'm always presumed to be wrong.

I'm a woman; society expects me to do everything as it has defined a woman and expects me not to have any opinions or follow my own ideologies.

I'm a woman, and I'm accepted as a 'complete woman' only when I give birth. I'm a woman; I don't get appreciated based on my achievements.

I'm a woman; I need not be a feminist to speak all these.

Yes, I'm a woman, speaking all this on the 113th Women's Day. Yes, the situation of a woman today is much better than it was in 1911.🚀

Hoping to celebrate a better Women's Day in another 113 years.🙌

The picture I'm attached to is of the woman who asked me not to follow anything anyone ever asks me to do, even if it discriminates against me by 0.01%. Thank you, Paati! 🫂

It's now your turn to give a special wish to every woman who has been with you and been a pillar of support, a Happy Women's Day! 🚀
