I’ve been wanting to say this for few weeks. It will be a bit long, pls bear with me.
I’ve seen many marriages in my parents generation where the husband loves his wife but still disrespects her & doesn’t take her stand in front of relatives/public.

Note, it’s not about love, it’s about the respect she deserves. Relatives praise the husband & the process goes on. Everyone justifies it that he loves her immensely, so public respect shouldn’t matter. Ppl take her lightly & question her left & right.
She puts a brave face, ignores it, focuses on the positives but it eventually makes a dent on her self-respect. She feels inferior & stops loving herself. Ppl who call dis behavior out like her friends become villains & finally everyone turns a blind eye to d inherent patriarchy
This is my parents generation!
But I see many young ppl support similar behavior on this app & defend it just like loyal relatives, because he makes them happy(& he loves her!) It is disappointing to say d least. It’s not about a single incident, it’s abt d narrative one creates

This doesn’t make the guy a bad person, it makes him someone I can’t look upto, it makes the process biased & something which should be called upon. This is esp imp when u have many young ppl looking upto you. Rn that is what SidNaaz is for me. Inherently patriarchial
