I experience oppression on streets during late evenings...i have no idea how to liberate myself from this but all i do is try and merge with the surroundings and not stand out..i do not want to invite unnecessary attention and sometimes i choose to wear a hoody jacket to disguise as one of them. I'm not encouraging submission but i'm aware of the fact that all my attempts to fight it have only temporarily defered the action. So it makes sense to sort of balance the situation by not inviting unwanted attention, while standing up for myself whenever required.- this is what the girl in the image, ishita, has to say about liberation from opression.
hey lopz i get the idea of liberating yourself from gender oppresion through this image but it kinda did seem as if the person is submitting to this overpowering gender opression of the society ...it is a personal choice after all
Liberate yourself from Gender Oppression by disguising your gender?
