Dear
Daughter,
Today
let's talk about the Don’ts. In a society like ours you're going to face so
many Don'ts, even for the smallest things you do. So let me give you a heads up
on them …
Don't
play with cars or superheroes, its dolls for you.
Don't
talk too loudly, girls only talk in hushed voices.
Don’t sit
with legs apart, it’s not feminine.
Don't
run or jump around or do sports like boys, you’ll build muscles.
Don't
wear short dresses, you're asking for it.
Don't
use bold lip colors, its provocative.
Don't
travel alone, esp. after dark, you’re putting yourself in danger.
Don't
make friends with so many boys.
Don't
be too ambitious, you should be more concerned about your family.
Don't
act bold, that’s not your cup of cake.
Don't
be stubborn, you will be tagged a feminist.
Don't
take your own decisions, because we know better.
Don't
wear jeans or such so called boy's attire, people will talk.
Don't
contradict with your elders even if they're wrong, they have seen the world more.
Don't
dream about a life of your own, it’s a crime.
Don't
live for yourself, it’s selfish.
Don't
indulge in your dreams, that a sinful leisure.
Don't
raise your voice even if someone abuses you, women are supposed to tolerate.
Don't
fight against people who try to destroy you, women should forgive.
Don't
think you can have a peaceful, secure and carefree life, that’s not your right.
Don't
…...
Don't
……
Don't
……
Because
you're a girl!
My
precious precious child...
Do
whatever you want to do as long as it's right for you. Live your life the way
you want. You're created as a human being by the Divine Power with equal
rights and freedom as he created every other man. So no one, absolutely no one
has the right to tell you "No" just because of your gender. As long as you're not
hurting anyone or doing anything wrong or don't have to lie you have the complete
freedom to do your heart.
Just
keep in mind... If you don't have to lie or feel embarrassed/guilty about
something you did, then you did the right thing.
Yours,
Me.
