Wow, really?!!!! In our School I saw only female monitors (sometimes male aswell but not always) And prefects all were mostly female except Head Boy who was also accompanied by Head Girl. In our school we had majority of female students. Growing up I only saw females taking responsibility outside aswell as in Home, Mother who took household responsibility, our studies responsibility and even out side earning accompanied by Dad he did earning too but by not taking as much responsibility in home as much as Mother. It was always women with power until later that I understood more about the world, the more I understand about the world the more disappointed I became of it was I really loved the world the uthopia in which I lived during childhood.
I agree, and whenever there is some cultural activities boys are given arrangements responsibility and girls are reserved for decoration and presentation..
@@gauravsrivastava9149 woman going out of their homes to follow their dreams r considered bad and their parents and partners r criticised for not being a man and dominating her,Instead congratulating them for raising a strong woman.
@@gauravsrivastava9149 If u want a real life eg go listen a public speech by a woman politician and tell one of the spectators''what kind of a man is her husband to let his wife go loose ,he will be doing the dishes at home and taking care of kids" they will agree with u.
You r right they are criticized by narrow minded people but people who know what's wrong and what's right they would consider those partners and parents sensible and broad that let their women do what they wanna do. And its about an individual being if a man can do what he likes then a women is also equally privileged to do so. Moreover if you know what you are doing is right then what ppl talk about you and society thunks about you would not be a matter.. 💯
No gender has specific inherent qualities..it might be true to certain extent.. but it is our effort and hardwork that actually helps us become capable candidates..this is the reason patriarchy is using to oppress women saying it's natural for men to be dominating.. no it's not..it's the society that's encouraging them right? It's the similar way.. let's not connect qualities with gender at all..
Earlier I Used To Think That Patriarchy Only Affects Women, But Now I Realize That It Affects Both The Genders. I Just Hope Other Men Realize It As Well.
It's so frustrating how we judge women politicians on the basis of what they wear, their accents, their marital status - everything but their true merit.
@KIRA I think since male and females make up almost half of the population.. They're should be an almost half representation of both the genders..And since many women lack encouragement to lead , I think reservations are a good rule to promote women's Representation in the parliament..And it's only 40% as compared to 60% of men
@KIRA See , we have to admit that the society is male dominated and everything is directly or indirectly controlled by men which may be sometimes unfair to Women..Although I'm not from Norway , I'm an Indian , While researching about Norway for a MUN I found out that due to this quota and other Quotas, Norway has actually become one of the most Gender equal countries in the world.. Believe it or not , Both the genders are required to be represented equally in order to provide equality and to understand their stances..if Women are not in power, they won't be represented..Our problems won't be on the table and know one would know it..Therefore these quotes are necessary
Shailaja teacher, she was recognised by UN and was one of the most influential covid warriors in British magazines including vogue . She was the best health minister Kerala ever had.
@@sgsan705 yeah ig but I don't know if it's true but I heard she would be CM candidate in next term! I too was angry at first when I heard she is not minister this time but if the other news is true then party played really smart! Hope next election she would be CM candidate and if she is then she will win for sure!
It all boils down to education, if we simply teach our children how to think and not what to think. All these issues will become outdated in less than a decade.
But parents want to control their children, society wants everyone to follow their 14 th century rule. That's why questioning, curiosity is killed in india be it education or family.
this series shouldn't be called "overthinking".. it should be named "thinking" ..cause rn we need to think and take action on these issues..no hate though...
@@gauravsrivastava9149 when people see a woman politician giving a speech or protesting people say that her husband isn't a man becoz he is letting her go loose , according to society's toxic masculinity a woman should be dominated by her husband.
@@gauravsrivastava9149 then what's the case currently?if u want a real life eg go ask a father of a woman politician has anyone told that u r letting ur daughter become a bad woman by allowing her interact with males outside the house during her social service.
The people in this country can only respect a woman in terms of her being a daughter, a sister, a wife or a mother. The fact that she's an individual and a human who's basically entitled to respect and dignity, just doesn't cross anyone's mind.
Well this does happen to me too being a male i want to join politics but my friends/family and society deny me of this cause idk too honestly politics has a stigma in india i think its cause of bollywood and political goon propaganda
@@BeanOnTheFlipside Noo it's because of danger. Y'know how half of those people sitting in parliament have many past criminal records? They can do whatever to the normal citizen entering into the politics & would even shut the people's mouth who have witnessed it with money
Because a man in powerful position has support from family/friends, society, education system, and most importantly a partner. A woman simply doesn’t have most of these support systems. In fact they work against women since before birth. Mothers/grandmothers pray for a boy, but not for a girl. The day THAT changes, u will have a different world altogether.
@@gauravsrivastava9149 If u think of ur children as an asset or liability, u shouldn’t become a parent. The moment that u do, u have already sinned. Even god won’t look kindly upon u after that. Is it any wonder so many of these families are unhappy?
@@gauravsrivastava9149 ya definatly.. As it take more money to raise a girl.... Soo how can we equate that..... Lets harrash molest discriminate Demolerise her forr alll her life..... Tooo goooddddd
Its very simple. People(men)don't like following orders from a woman. You can Also ask the same thing about why there are little to no lgbtq people in politics. It will take a long time to break this patriarchy
A recent victim of this patriarchal mindset is KK Shailaja from Kerala. This former health minister of Kerala won the election in a record number of votes. She was so tallented and smart enough to the next CM of Kerala. Guess what happend next... The record winner Shailaja is not even a part of the ministry now. She is just an MLA who have no power in the cabinet.
That's not because of men there are people at the top who doesn't want good things and want to exploit good people are often eliminated from politics regardless of their gender similar thing would have happened if women were at the top , in case of Bengal mamta banerjee is abusing her Power she won't let anyone come to the top even if she is a woman and does a good work It is not about patriarchal mindset but power , power is dangerous it attracts the worst and corrupts the best regardless of gender
I got a role of begum hazrat mahal at school and literally I felt no less than a queen and my love for politics increased after that but poor me! Had to go for medical haha
First off- Happy Father's day! And RIP to Flying Sikh. High time that we all should stop listening to those who call politics as a "dirty game" coz that's what they were taught about.
I just saw what u replied to my cmnt regarding Father's day (u deleted) .... Ik u were trying to be sarcastic but, that was not funny at all....rather I'm Disappointed...
You forgot to mention Ms Moitra. She's been a really vociferous parliamentarian and her whole story about how she began her life and at what point she chose politics is an interesting case study too. Very simply, more participation (from every group not only women but trans people and people from marginalized communities) in political decision making opens doors for every class as the representation lets them feel how accessible being a leader is and not some magic that only a few people could learn. I went through the list of women participants in the constituent assembly debates from 1948-50 and it even mentions how much who spoke during the discourses. Let alone the speech, the number of women too was considerably low. Even when parties do include women in their least of leaders, we all know it's mostly just for the sake of representation and not all of them are given chances of being as much active and outspoken as their male colleagues. Education to each and every human is the only way things will get better.
It's really sad & heart breaking to notice that in a country like India which is having more than 25 States We have ONLY 1 female sitting Chief Minister & Everyone is eger to take her down as well
First of all politics is a hunger game and its too dirty but it gave a huge amount of power to them. They are enjoying the most power and importance in the country even though half of them have a criminal backgrounds. This is the only career where who have the most brutal criminal record have more chances to become more powerful. Since it's a powerful place men in old times doesn't want to give this position to women because this way they think they are equally powerful just like them. All I know currently Indian politics is like underworld only difference with that these politician wearing a white collar clothes nothing else
Sushma Swaraj, Mayawati, Sheila Dikshit, Jayalalithaa, Mamata Banerjee and off course Indira Gandhi are some women politician, who have changed indian polity forever.
Heyy SWADDLE... I like all ur videos it's about enhancing the role of femals in our society, whenever i shared ur videos in my status my cousin taunting me as I'm a feminist nd blah blah.... Bt I don't care...i Can say U doing grt job keep it up nd make more videos to raise the voice of women's ✌😊
It's not a taunt though..being a feminist doesn't mean being inclined more towards women or hating men...it's about treating both of them first as humans and individuals who have their own choices that are meant to be respected.....so these people who have the wrong connotation about feminism ( basically pseudo feminism) always try to show feminism as a bad thing which is obviously not....so don't worry about the taunts..they are actually indirect compliments for u standing for ur dignity🤗
This is right, because even in my school,a girl was always the assistant leader whereas the boy was always the official leader!And I'm not saying that this has happened only once, this has happened during my entire school life and even before that because as my sister was there to witness it.
Please make a video on feminist Usha Akella's new book ' I WILL NOT BEAR YOU SONS ' "Sir, no sir, I will not give you sons, I will abort every male fetus I bear, I will live to ensure there are no more sons, I will live to see your bloodline cross over with you to the other side, Now the blessing from your lips is your execution." - an excerpt from her book Let's see how many feminists raise voice against her and how many videos are made on her. If it was to be from opposite gender, I wonder how would be the case now? Check her book on amazon if you don't believe me. I wonder how can this book be published and get positive appreciation !
Forget politics, prominent female celebrities face sexist slurs, rape threats, abuses, objectification etc on social media platforms for having a different political opinion.
it's not being that a women cannot be a good leader , it's that , in India women are always shamed, for their dressing sense, for their talking, for their job, for their home, for their struggle, ultimately for their character and this what hurts deep inside . only these things keep a woman away from" men's dirty politics"
As a continuation to this theme, please make a series about the female rulers of Indian kingdoms and then move onto the colonial era freedom fighters and social reformers and post colonial scientists, leaders and visionaries. People only quote Jhansi ki Rani, Razia Sultan and Sarojini Naidu when in fact, women have been in power much longer and in many different parts of the country. Let us give young women role models to look up to.
Hii Swaddle, I request y'all to make a video on widows, like how they are discriminted after their husbands death, how people behave with them, why are only they asked to change how they dressed and asked to wear pale clothes and why aren't men told to do this when they lose their wife.... Why does this gender discrimination happen all the time...... Why? Why are women supposed is to live a dull life after her husband's death?? Why why why?? PlZ put up some light on this topic...... Please it's my humble request!!!🙏🙏🙏
4:41 I see what you did there 😂. By the way, I've been following this channel for some time. Great content, I get a good amount of information from this channel.
I always have wanted to be in politics but because of the dirty politics and patriarchal mindset of people, i am hesistant for it because even if i make it to a position i do not think the men would let me stay in that position or take my position seriously.
Our school once made two head girls instead of one head girl and a head boy because they thought that no male student was good enough that year. People criticized it very much as it was a rule to make a head boy, never have I once seen those people be so passionately worried about the less representation of women in OUR PARLIAMENT ( which is supposed to represent the population)
I'm pretty sure you would have been mad about it too if your school would have chosen two headboys instead of one headboy and one headgirl if they didn't find any girl good enough
I love how you enunciate each word and express every idea so comprehensively and concisely. I have learned quite a lot of new concepts and ideas and untangled some misconceptions related to so many things by watching your videos. Thanks.
Just look at the prime minister of new zealand that woman at such a young age has managed to grow such a beautiful country. Before u all come to attack me that new zealand has a lower population we hv a federal govt -_- means even at lower levels they can start from
NZ currently struggling to vaccinate its population . NZ is approximately 5 Lok Sabhā MPs. 😂🤦♀️ and folks were suggesting about bringing her to manage India 😂
In the last general elections, I was reading an article about "young leaders" when they had interviewed young MPs. One of the women said, "My husband couldn't get a ticket because of his criminal record, so he asked me to stand and I did" These are the female leaders we have.
In my college in delhi university, many times i have found that most of the college society presidents are only men , especially sports and social welfare societies . Men misuse their power and try to demean women, we women literally have to beg them to play in sports and ask their permission. Also, they not even bother to distribute prizes which women have achieved. This is absolutely cruel.
There were quite a few others before her. I think the example taken was to highlight that the begum stayed over even after the nawab had abandoned his duty.
Start within your house with your wives , daughters and sisters by allowing them freedom and bodily autonomy. Don't stigmatize periods, they're a biological function. Allow them to talk about sex, even decide if they want to have sex before marriage or not. Don't dress code and victim blame them. Don't give so much attention to false cases. Most importantly, hold your male friends accountable for making rape jokes, misognyistic jokes or treating girls as fuckable objects. Same goes for family members too. Call them out if they are pressurising their girlfriends into something they don't want to do. Hold the men harassing women accountable and don't say not all men when women talk about their stories.
Ancient HINDUISM always saw women supirier of men , forget equality...n i said ANCIENT, like the time of treta and dwapar yug not the british India....lets learn to be prode of our culture!!
Hinduism never saw women as superior to men because the Vedic philosophy dismisses the very notion of focusing on the material body and gender The atman has a common source of origin and knowing its nature is the goal of Yoga
@@adflix424 well the scriptures and the epics had this notion of respecting and putting women forward everytime ,men getting known by their mothers name,mother being above god etc shows how HINDUISM always putted their women forward
This was good content, but why haven't we considered the lack of women's representation in international politics? For Indian society, there are factors like dirty politics and all, what about the countries which are way ahead of us in development? Because women lack representation not just in India but in the UN, USA, Britain, etc., and wherever we see them, time and again they are asked rubbish questions, they are disrespected for what they wear.
There are women in politics, but look at this hypocrisy: Women bashing the Modi government: Beauty with brains! Women supporting the Modi government: You are a slave to the patriarchy! In regards to clothing, Indian women: We should wear what we want! It's our choice! Also indian women: If you wear saffron or dress up as a brahmin, you are patriarchal and a rape supporter!
@@neeljavia2965 You want to see backwardness, misogyny and patriarchy? Go to a Sharia law nation. When you bash the BJP and Hindutva, you are biting the hand that feeds you.

Dear @TheSwaddle you bring such nice content for people... But you must be aware of the ground realities as well...your language is english... And English is not just a language here... It's a class... People who can understand ur videos are all probably literate and read... Which means they have received the privileged education.... And are on the field to fight...

It's even said that Jahangir was a puppet ruler in the hands of his first wife Begum Noor Jahan who was actually a good political leader. Unfortunately we all know Jahangir as the ruler and not his wife. She is just considered as a political lady
@Ameya How do you know what she told is wrong? Some aspects of her claim were not entirely right. Jahangir was not a puppet ruler but many of the main upfront decisions was taken by Nur Jahan due to his eventually flailing health. Due to his addiction to opium and alcohol most of the times he was never present in the court due to deteriorating health.
@Ameya With reference to the above context. Yes. Because Nur Jahan was surely behind the smooth running of the empire or else Jahangir would have been killed much earlier. In general. No Those times were different. We are successful for our own efforts. People are supportive and hold our back to the cause of our success but they don't own it.
@Ameya it's not about the ideology. It's about how many empires front face used to men but actually it was run quietly by Harem Queens. It's for those who say women are not meant for politics
@Ameya if you believe that women are useless then we believe behind every man' s succes there is a woman. And if you believe both are useful then we also don't believe the above statement.
Not talking with each other is also a way to pressurize in foreign policy. Foreign affairs is Machivallean and the more arms you have the better you are equiped.less the cost of war! Kim bro did it. Afgan did it . India too did it.. so I guess even "MeN" do it. Some worked some didn't!

Women who have no political lineage and start from scratch and reach the top are often labelled as 'she slept her way to the top'. It isn't about just politics, be it any field which is male dominated or are considered to be a 'masculine' job women excelling in such fields are always questioned on their skills and abilities.
People say that women shouldn't join politics as they cannot survive there if they refuse to turn corrupt. What does that even mean? how is that a justification? Aren't male politicians also corrupt? and if the political environment is so bad for women, then them being in politics is not the problem, the environment is, and that needs to be solved.
The representation of women are far more superior in countries that are considered to be the best places to live (good quality of life) and hold high ranks in their respective government bodies. So politics in general has nthg to do with gender. Although in India the situation is different you don't actually have any capable candidates to rule or govern irregardless of the gender cuz they are elected on the basis of their ability to sway the audience with public emotions and appeal. None of them are qualified to make decisions that seem logical and progressive.
This is what I was thinking a few days ago. Almost all women politicians have been slut-shamed/harassed by their colleagues, many times in the parliament. It's just unacceptable to these hypermasculine men to have a woman leader in politics. This is the case in most workplaces but the impact of it is extreme in politics. These people define the fate of children, youth, old; education, jobs, businesses, everything; they are the policymakers. There needs to be diversity among them- a proper representation of all genders and cultural backgrounds. Biases, preconceived notions, narrow perspectives are what define our world right now. The only way to bring change in society would be by taking the welfare and needs of all into account. It must not be easy to leave a group behind just because someone like them was not a decision-maker.
Don talk half n don't play the victim card. In every STEM field jobs there r comittees to protect women from harassment n to ensure that their rights r well taken care of. N for female factory workers there r laws that no women can be called by their boss in late night for work.

Because they are (rightly) more interested in being wives, mothers, and homemakers. Politics doesn't mix well with family life. Women know this and prioritize accordingly.
And everyone calling modi shit ton of stuff is alright 🙄 hasn't she spoken against him putting dirt on his name See it's not about patriarchy but about power everyone wants it and wants to use it , mamta banerjee too won't let any woman get to the top if she is capable and is doing good work to an extent she even defies mamta's views sometimes for betterment of society she won't ever succeed because no she wouldn't get any opportunity or rather will be killed

There may be 2 causes: 1. They don't know the difference between fake feminism ("feminists" who think women>men) and real feminism. 2. They are mysoginists
Just read an article on TOI about companies like Accenture helping women working there preserve seeds for reproduction. Entire comments section was filled with misogynists men claiming it's a threat to Indian culture and society and these foreign companies want to degrade our women to their levels instead of staying at home and being pure.
I think they should put subtitles for some of the main languages in india. So more people can understand But the most learned language in whole of India is english, so making it in English is better.
Lot more is needed. To start with India must short list constituencies to be reserved for women only, like we did in Municipal elections in many cities of India (Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner etc). We must aim for 50 % women in parliament and make plans to achieve this target. This shall be the real empowement of women.
As a woman, I fully agree and support the video. I like how you conveyed your message or how you talk, it's pretty good. Thanks for giving the information.
@@dorothea5615 then also not just men but other women who have higher position oppress new people to politics so there is no proper way we can say that men are oppressing women because bad things both men and women do
This video is incorrect. The gender equality paradox destroys every single argument from this video. The gender equality paradox proves that the patriarchy was not oppressing women most of the time but women made their own choices that best represents their biology.
Nope it was dictated by man why can't take the facts? Not all woman want sit at home. That are only some who are wanted to do that it is men who made it a rule
Even we ask women to be a good political leader and to be given equal opportunities to be a good leader we cannot force men to listen them, because men are born not to listen to anyone . even if a female gives advice, good advice, to her husband for his betterment of his future and what is good for him , men often denial their advice saying that you don't know anything anything more than this household work, Apna chulha chowka Sambhalo. Also men listening to toxic females who always try to gain control over their husbands and to gain their attention, men always have failed to differentiate between what is right or wrong.
Can you do a video on whether it's good or bad for girls and boys to sit together in school. Because I'm really confused about it...that I was really comfortable around boys before we were segregated into two sides of the class in fifth standard....but now that I think about it I can't think of sitting with them on a daily basis anymore.....
