How Many Daily Battles Is a Woman Supposed to Fight?
Enough arguments and real-life situations have made it evident that a woman's word is first met with strong and stubborn resistance from public on any matter (including resistance from same gender). My question really is "How strong and independent can one maintain to be when each day is another struggle surviving the same mentality?" One misstep and decades progress is mocked. Today, this specific reel on IG showed up on my feed and the comments brought up so much anger, insecurity and mental exhaustion. [if the owner has problem with me sharing it here and talking about it, do let me know to get this removed]

Always hitting with "we don't know the other side of the story" remark when women question inappropriate behavior/intention (in a public area) clearly visible in the video. Innocent men would have immediately questioned the actions of the lady recording instead of hiding their faces.
Expressions literally wiped off of their faces the moment realization hit that a retaliation might be forthcoming from the lady they were shamelessly staring and grinning at. But there is a limit to how far one can retaliate considering how common this cheap behaviour is and how many battles can a woman fight on a daily basis when life is already a struggle? Can someone conduct a study on the toll our nervous system takes surviving this world? Hence PCOS is rampant!
