Skewed Inequality

The LGBTQ+ struggles can't be discussed in isolation to the multiple debates on feminism. Most of the issues are interlinked. It is the trap of the perfect man and his subservient other half.

Feminists world over protest about the skewed inequality that they face not just in the public domain but even in their homes.

The apathy a gay man faces from a heterosexual man is on the same grounds as a woman is viewed from his lens.

Women hesitate to tell you the truth about their domestic issues because of the fear of being viewed as too bold or misjudged as being loose.

According to Nina, a homemaker, she confided with much hesitation about her husband. Even before she began talking, she bit her tongue to continue praising him as a habit.

She said, "He is the kind of guy who makes me feel safe on my occasional drunk evenings." She was grateful that he is magnanimous about the praise and compliments all her friends easily. She said "He is the gentleman who never uses swear words. Everything is measured in goodness. Also, everyone gets bushy-tailed and bright-eyed as they speak to him.

As she spoke, Nina looked down. She mentioned falteringly that he barely compliments her but in the same breath she mentioned that it's a given for most spouses. Men don't show affection. She felt sad but was fine with it.

As I held her hand, she broke down and said she is a crushed woman under the weight of the lies. Her educated spouse won't accept her brother who is a transgender. He has warned her to not invite her sibling for any of the social gatherings at home.
