00:00 When women take a step, their step I mean, society has fixed age for everything and when

00:10 one is crossing that, one finds a tremendous pressure, tremendous social control, social

00:15 pressure, even pressure not directly to oneself rather than through parents that they are

00:21 emotionally lynched. How to cope up with that? Like even you said that, yeah I stop here.

00:32 How do they apply that pressure? They press against your arm, your head, your neck, how

00:39 do they apply that pressure?

00:40 Conduct after conduct. Conduct after conduct. Like they do not do anything to me. They are

00:49 not in touch with me, I am not talking to anybody but the pressure comes to me. How

00:55 it works? It works through the chain, through the parents, how parents come in that grip,

01:01 they get any public platform, any festivals, functions, through their face.

01:08 Listen one must know, please understand, one must know the relative value of things. No

01:16 function, no celebration is worth going to. If it is crowded with people who don't have

01:25 the basic sense of life, why should I go to a place that's infested with animals? I mean

01:39 that's the reason I asked how exactly do they apply pressure to you? They say things, right?

01:45 That's the only way they do stuff, right? They say things. First of all, why are you

01:49 available to listen to them? Secondly, even if you do get to hear what they are saying,

01:58 why must you accord importance to what they are saying? A madman is saying things to you,

02:08 will that affect you, hurt you? Please, there can be no liberation if first of all your

02:18 priorities are not clear. If you keep giving priority to stuff that is anyway valueless,

02:30 then you will never be able to break free. Never, never. Some random person comes and

02:40 says something and that becomes a headache to you. Why? Why? Why must you mind the fools

02:52 so much? Why must you be so reticent, so reluctant in declaring fools as fools? Announce that

03:04 on their face. Sir, now that you have said this, let me say something. You are an idiot.

03:16 Utter that and be relieved for good. Now he will never dare to say anything else, that's

03:24 all. But you know when I say this, this sounds so unbelievable, right? But we are dainty,

03:32 cultured, educated girls. We have been trained to be polite and respectful. So you keep your

03:41 politeness. Learn to be disrespectful and learn to be disrespectful right on the face.

03:57 And for your own sake, memorize a few nice heavy abuses and get some practice in using

04:10 them in front of the mirror maybe. And do not use them only in front of your friends.

04:26 Throw those abuses to those who act as your elders, your well-wishers and in the name

04:33 of care and love, they want to throw you into captivity. When that happens, that's the

04:45 occasion to just shoot the abuse.

04:49 [Music]
