Hi everyone! We had to re-upload this video to address a mistake in the edit. If you like this video, comment and share this far and wide. 👊🏽
@manu N true what u said.
@manu N Adding this to our list. 📌
@manu N Also see "Life Tak" for real content related to your query. They too are doing great work in educating the society.
@@urvishbhavsar2826 sarcasm?
@5 G can you explain what was the mistake?
"Instead of drawing ineffective lakshman rekhas, it's time to focus on the Raavans instead"
👏
@Sudarshana Chakra 2.0 nope!!!
@Sudarshana Chakra 2.0 Ofc Sita should become Durga but it's better to change the root cause of the problem instead of doing something about the problem.
The Ravans must be controlled so there should be no need for Sita to become Durga
If sita actually listened to lakshman, all of the problems could have been avoided. Ravan was wrong but that doesn't make sita right. Even lakshman disobey his brother command to leave sita, both are wrong.
@@ksc7132 So, let's replace Sita with a girl child, someone who is innocent and doesn't know how this rotten society works. So, according to your statement, that child is also in the wrong, right?
@5 G What kind of a weak person do you think Ravan was?
“I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved” - Babasaheb Ambedkar

@@hardeeprajput6564 what do you mean?
If they were really concerned about womens safety they would make the society safer
Yeah if society isn't safe then women aren't even safe during days
Yes then restricting women they would teach men some manners 🙂
More like making the society more Woke
If women really care about their own safety, they wouldn't blame society for everything.
@Sudarshana Chakra 2.0 Children blame everything on others, adults take responsibility for their own actions and control the situation. I guess that's why feminist blame everything on society and patriarchy.
How many of us had sexist curfews in our college hostels? In my college, even though boys too had a curfew on paper, it was never implemented.
For me, it was applied and still going on 🙃
Same in mine as well.
In my college boys never had curfews even on papers. But girls !! 😂
It was 7pm
As it is said in the video that parents don't want to send their daughters to such hostels where there aren'tt curfews.so it isn't completely education authority's fault
Same in my clg as well
Many find it easier to restrict a women than teach others what respect means. It is basically toxic love
Can you suggest some ideas? For making society safer for women .
@@averagechaser teaching girls confidence and self defense. And generally everyone believing in facts rather than assumptions (this can take generations but effort has to be made)
Tough love maybe
@@rajeshrdrd8036 I understand your point. But love isn't about being protective, it is about letting the other person reach their full potential and letting them know you are always there to catch them when you fall. For so long we have seen what is described in the video as love, and now everyone believea it is, but it honestly is not. Let kids do what they want, equip them with real knowledge, and then if they hurt themselves be the person who supports not, not the one they are scared to talk to about their problems
@Rishi Pathak please correct me if I misunderstood. But care is only care when it helps the other person. Inhibiting their abilities and rights and teaching kids to accept that there are certain things they can't do just because of their gender is not care
Absolutely right.When i had a debate on this topic with my male classmates i asked them why not make it safe for women instead of locking them inside.Their reply was that its difficult to stop such things from happening.For those who enjoy the freedom its easy to say such things."Then how about locking those who make it unsafe for women?".I think this question will make them realise the pain and think of other options instead of locking women inside
Please be aware of such type of boys/men
Can you suggest some more ideas
@Rahul Chanana How about keeping all men inside...does it sound like violating your rights just because some make it unsafe for women?
@Rahul Chanana You r deviating from the point in the video
@Rahul Chanana 😁
Everytime Swaadle comes up with a new video, my blood literally boils with it. More power to Swaddle!
Ikr all their videos are relatable x100
@@swatisaini6447 yes!💜
"Respectable women don't go out at night" oh no no, respectable women just don't leave their home. 🙂

i remember that about a week ago, my friend asked me to go an outdoor mall (a very small one which isnt even 1 km away from our society) n my parents didnt allow me to go a she was free only after sunset
well, after a lot of convincing, they allowed me only if we were dropped off n picked up by them
i bet that when my brother is my age n he wants to go out after sunset, my parents will def allow
@Rahul Chanana of course she can handle it
@Rahul Chanana what if her brother is attacked? Can he handle it alone? If he can then she can too.
@Rahul Chanana less likely but still prone to an attack. Therefore, both girls and boys must be equipped with small safety devices like pepper spray, A Mobile Phone
@Rahul Chanana that's unfortunate but true.
Damn and how old are you?
When I got admission in college.. many "elders" called my father to tell him not to let me go as "our" girls don't stay out at night, and then called him "disrespectful" when he ignored them. Today the women of their homes are still in their homes, while me and my sisters are out.. living, earning, and making merry.
Behind most independent women are parents who heard (and probably feared) the worst...and yet support their daughters.
This is so true
So true.
My university had 10 foot walls around all the women's hostels and a couple of Dobermanns on the loose. And the curfew was at 6 pm.
damn! even Tihad jail is better than this.
Fuck Bro 😂😂😂
@Vaishnavi Singh "The only man allowed even allowed past these walls is a Dobermann. Haha." The VC joked with the parents during the orientation.
Telling girls that it is not respectable to roam at night but it is respectable for a guy to roam at night and harass women.
Wah re society hats off to you.
@Rahul Chanana so then why are they not taught to protect women? Why are guys allowed to roam at night? Leave protecting why can't they just let girls be.
@Rahul Chanana what are their parents teaching them that they have to get their information from stupid movies and songs? And why are there so many such jerks that one whole gender has to be locked up in their houses for their safety?
You are acting like people actually teach their kids to harras women at night , don't get me wrong bad people do their work you can't stop them. You can punish them but prevention is hard
@@Prat-zi1ou but they also don’t teach them to be good, let’s not be naive. We all know Indian men are not held accountable for shit they do
You are talking about night..& here we have to give the clarification to parents of extra hour we spent after college hours.Why and where you were spending time?
Ikr, it doesn't make sense
EXACTLYYY
I RELATE TO THIS SOO MUCH, 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE EXPERIENCE
@Rishi Pathak Dear we become adults when we reached to college..We already know how to tackle with problem & if there something is wrong ofcourse we will tell them.But what happens when parents are very strict.Kids starts lying to them and this will create problem for themselves after sometime.
Exactly true😓😓
Yeah exactly...my parents are saying they won't allow me to go to Delhi for higher studies for the same reason. C'mon yaar delhi has best medical colleges of the country. Sometimes I feel it's the biggest curse to be a girl .
Pahle select tho ho jao.
Phir dekho bilkul Janae denge🙏
I'll guarantee u
@@mirroruniverse9331 i agree
This is such an important conversation to have. It's time we get rid of the sexist double standards that curfews impose!
@Sudarshana Chakra 2.0 I agree map of India is important but right now thats not the topic we are discussing. Our discussion is regarding safety of women and why only women are to be home at night?
@Sudarshana Chakra 2.0 hey btw can i ask what do you mean by it? Just for knowledge purposes. I'm really confused😅😅😅😅. I've seen this reply of yours in an early comment.

Thanks for the support.

@manu N this is a rude comment which is just stereotyping all males. I'm a female but I won't agree that only trusting males is harder. Trusting females too is hard. There are so many females too who are involved in businesses like sex trafficking. Let's stop bashing all males. We need a overall better society not a judgemental one.
This channel is Gold. The targeted audience for this channel should be teenagers , that way we would be empowering an entire generation.
Instead of drawing ineffective Lakshman Rekhas, it's time to focus on ravanas👌👌👍👍
@Sudarshana Chakra 2.0 it is not necessary that they must have 'gyan' on everything. The Swaddle is really trying to make awareness on very important social issues
Abhi bhi ladko pe nazaar. Chodo ravaan ko
Where is the ram?
Bro kya bole hm
I can totally relate to it. I have studied in a university where girls were not supposed to go out from the hostel after 7 pm. Even the terrace were locked most of the days. They were not allowed to go out of the hostel wearing shorts or cut sleeves. And once before me a warden commented on a student that her shorts were supposedly "too short" to be worn in the hostel and made a huge scene out of it. They say it is for their own safety. I mean what the fucking hell.
Seriously terrace...??? And shorts in hostel also banned wtf???
@@garvitagarwal3639 There was restrictions on everything from clothes to mobile phones
@@tanyapandey5003 There is nothing wrong in living the beautiful moment of your youth. Because after 10 years when you would look back you won't remember the restrictions imposed on you or you disregarding your parents wishes, it would be just these beautiful moments you are enjoying. If you are responsible enough, no need to be guilty about living a little.
I myself graduated from Delhi University and was very much aware of this "Delhi wali ladki" term, and personally I am proud to be one.
@@shrutisingh8936 mobile phones I understand since it is a policy in some boys hostel as well but the clothes part didn't really fit well since it is a girls hostel not a co-ed hostel.
Iam an Emergency physician,I get emergency calls at the middle of the night, I go alone and attend the hospital. Iam proud of it
I like the last lines "instead of drawing ineffective lakshmana rekha , it's time to focus on the Raavana instead " whoever wrote these lines l luv u for this ❤️
And lakshamana rekha was drwn from safety from naimals
Beautifully executed and well appreciated discussion on topics like this.
Hope Swaddle continues
making videos like this.
Your work is truly appreciated by all of us.
After years of continuous struggle by various student groups in Panjab University, Chandigarh, they succeeded in lifting the curfew timings in women's hostels. I feel immensely proud though I didn't get to enjoy the result.
It brought tears in my eyes because each and everything said is so true and relatable. The last line of this video should echo in everyone's mind

I just hope women in this country don't need all this one day.. Can just hope maybe
Well my parents have equal curfews for my brother and me🙂, even though my brother is 20+ but still he is not financially independent so he too have to obey the curfews😌
It's not about financial dependence, it's about safety.
If I'm not wrong
My brother has a curfew too even though we live in a fairly safe area
Same here, even my parents don't allow me and my brother to go alone at night, bcz they are concerned abt our safety.
@@triny89 yeah well even though safety concerns are directed towards women in most of the cases, I dont think anyone is really safe anymore and thats a sad thing to think about.

"Instead of making ineffective Lakshman Rekhas, we need to focus to Ravans."
Well said 👏👏👏
See.. We know that we have to now focus on Ravan... Please tell us what should we do to tackle him simultaneously!! ❣️
@5 G Exactly!!! In today's world surpankha is "Shu...don't tell anyone!! You belong to a reputed family"
Or.. U r grl... U should have restrictions!!
Give every girl freedom and teach them to stand with every girl or boy in case they are being harmed.....unity brings power to fight oppression........ anyone would try to harm a girl who is alone but he or she would not if there are many people around.....
Well root cause of every problem faced by a girl is gender inequality and patriarchy....
@Rahul Chanana Do you really think it's enough??? Isn't it the time to acknowledge our sons!!!?
@Rahul Chanana True that!!!
@5 G Educating in the sense to make them realize that these crimes are not bcoz of us.... It's bcoz of their sons..

I am 16 yrs old but still my parents, especially my mother doesn't allow me to roam freely a bit just in the area around our housing building, even at the daytime. And it's really annoying for me
Last line "instead of drawing 'ineffective' lakshman rekha, focus on raavans" 🔥🔥
Laxman rekha never prohibited Mata Sita to cross it. It was for Ravan. It prohibited him to come inside.
I think we women should not expect anyone to do something for us we should become strong...strong enough to walk alone at night ..strong enough to face society judging us for staying out for long at night..strong enough to fight monsters who try to harm us..we should stop staying dependent on others...
@Rahul Chanana I guess Pepper spray is the best!!!
for me pepper sprays and pocket knife is best protection!! at least i wont make any excuses like im a girl i should not stay out at night!! :)
@Rahul Chanana i dont know my advantages pls tell me as a man advantage of woman
No politician discusses "how to make nights safer for women"
So much population, but can't even utilize it for night patrols.
Ever realised that if there are no men on roads after curfew then automatically women are safe too...
Oh wow so for your ease of walking
Boys should be locked 😂 what a equality
@@techkingsingh3969 that was sarcasm directed at people saying"don't let girls after nightfall,its dangerous!!"
@@yukimatsuda5400 no my point is that if your parents are telling you that it's not safe for you in late night and you should not go so is it wrong?
@@techkingsingh3969 no it's not wrong, but isn't it high time for people to come together and start making nights safer FOR EVERYONE... when will the change start if they keep just avoiding it ...then this issue will never be seriously addressed...
@@yukimatsuda5400 no but actually things are changing
Y'all doing queens work periodt
But being always facing this stereotype...i become very used to it and i didn't find it mean for letting curfews ...afterall we are still residing in the most dangerous country for women
But locking women inside house won't help instead focus on the problem the ppl with such mentality should be stopped not the girls cause this is not solving the problem just increasing it
@@bhavyjyotisharma3642 this is still a long step which only we as "english audience" of the swaddle cannot cover.
@@aparnadwivedi1796 I know its a very big step but if we all try changing the mindset of the ppl we talk daily with, I feel that something will surely happen if not everything. But now we are doing hardly something to prevent it. We should at least try our best may be that can help some of our own ppl who wouldnt have felt safer today if we didnt change other ppl's mindset earlier. I know it will be diff n we being some cant change most but if we change every that person whom we feel is going wrong I guess we can change all cause that some will change some too n ultimately everyone will be changed n then there wont be any need to make women safe in our country. See govt can only make laws but the crimes are not done by law the crimes are done because of wrong mindset of ppl so why come up with more laws when we can just change them with setting the correct mindset. Yes I know that there wont be all who will get our point but for such ppl we have laws. U know laaton ke bhoot baaton se ni maante such ppl will get punished for their crimes unfortunately we cant change everyone cause it in their hand to be changed or not. But I dont think that majority of the Indians are like that I feel that no matter how these ppl have been conditioned they will at least iunderstand if we try to make them understand andif they dont then let them die in jails at least we will be happy that we saved a lot of those.
That last line HITS. 💔
I think you should make a video on toxic masculanity and how people like BTS are breaking gender norms 💜
@@manyakulshreshtha8355 there feminine and soft features are considered more attractive and are a part of their culture. So if we look from their country's perspective then they are not breaking norms but following their culture

@@kaamyasanghvi2894 exactly he breaks the norms and stereotypes where as in South Korea those are the beauty standards for men that's their culture so they are not odd in their own culture
o yea
@@manyakulshreshtha8355 Yeah so what I'm tryna say is that people here in India see it as very unusual and girly and call them gay without realizing and the feminine side of men should be normalized
Absolutely loved the content!
So well articulated and presented an issue that requires to be discussed in the forefront.
I love your channel. It's speaks the ultimate truth. It's been a pain to be treated as we need to be protected, yet there hasn't been any action taken in regard to making it safer for women, rather than locking them up or restricting them.
I just want to say thank you for putting out such content. The Overthinking series is everything I want to hear instead of the blatant victimization, subjugation, and everyday sexism that we get a bit too much of on a daily basis. Cheers to more amazing content! Much love
Even if wore a spacesuit during a day and stayed at home after sunset, the man still has no emotional labour or space to grow. Most of it is disproportionately on women’s shoulders.
I think its a very complex topic with many dimensions, you guys did a really nice job in giving a gist of the problem.. Thank you
Thanks for picking up this issue in the video!!
Thank you for bringing up this topic and keeping it simple and straightforward 😘
I really appreciate and respect the topics you guys are covering ....Really hoping this channel to hit more than 1M ...... We girls think about it but never speak up, but you guys are our voice ....... even if we are in the 21st century the mindset of our society belongs to the 18th century....... I hope this video helps in changing things a bit, making it easier for ladies to be all alone by themselves irrespective of the timing feeling strong and independent instead of being fearful and being at home and missing on the things that their lives have to offer them.
1:30 the scene from pakistani show Churails, the show is about 4 women from different bacgrounds(like a student, an entrepreneur and her friend , a maid ) trying to start an all women spy agency , and their hurdles being women, definitely must watch
If people are genuinely concerned of a women's protection, then teach women to fight.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!!! ❤️
I am in engineering colleges in bihar and girls are not allowed out of their hostel after 7 pm even in campus.
It's soo weired.🙄
@5 G 'kand' wow. Great
The last line touched me deep😌❤️
Brilliant!!!
These things are hard to understand because of the things programmed to us since our childhood...but it's high time we realise that we are the victims and amazingly facing the restrictions too.
Thank you Swaddle!
Yup!! Definitely time to make nights public spaces..lets start a movement where we tell people that they shouldn't sleep or rest in their houses at night but instead be out on roads so that women can feel safer.
WTF! Dumbass idea.
No need to do that, better make proper lighting at night, dogs should be kept in other places and people should not get drunk more often.
@@factshouse3690 i was being sarcastic.,,,🙄
Nights aren't safe because there aren't many people around. Lightening is not going to change that.
And even if you ban alcohal in the whole country ,there would still be those criminal mindset people who would have access to alcohol (because obviously who cares what the rules say) amd they would still be out in the night preying because they know other people are asleep.
So maybe ,just maybe we should stop acting like the west and telling our women to be out in the night like its no big deal. Women are supposed to be cautious by nature,tlbut these brainwashed idiots wants to take away those gut feelings away in the name of empowerment.
I am a woman. And with all due respect, I completely agree with what have been said above. But we must also keep in mind, the times we are living in. It is a fact that we do not live in an utopian society and that women are not safe anytime but more so during night. So each woman has to decide for herself keeping in mind the realities in mind. Some Lakshman Rekha is important because today Raavan is not one but everywhere.
There is curfew 24/7 !!!
I'm not allowed to go anywhere alone!. even when I was in skul my father dropped me to the bus stop everyday! And I had to use skul bus
After skul he dropped me to the coaching and would come again to pick me when it was over...and now my skul is over and only sometimes they allow me to go at nearby shops
love the content! and the idea!! keep up the GREAT WORKK
Powerfully scripted and beautifully told! I just LOVE this channel❤️
The presentation of your videos is so powerful and emphasising..! Kudos!
And no! You people are not overthinking, you are just "THINKING" which should've done by the society and 'civilised & respectable' males or anyone for that matter long long ago. But alas! This so called cultured and morally strong society isn't what it thinks it is.
Here I want to share my Story..
Once me and my Mom were having conversation
ME : I want to join for New Year's party. I have heard that in(main city)Kolkata fireworks are cracked. Plz jaane do na.. Mai kbhi nhi dekhi hu.. Ek baar dekhna h(my bucketlist, Bdw I am not a night owl, I have hardly been awake during ANY New Year countdown, yeah obviously talking about home, qki bahr toh vaise bhi jaane nhi dete)
MOM : Haan, Q nhi jaa skti ho.. Make sure you will be at home by 8pm
ME : Mom, it's a new year's party 🤨😗
{P.S. I was 25+ living in Howrah and from Middle middle class family, not a single child}
And Indian Men doesn't acknowledge the fact, *there is something like MALE PRIVILEGES* 🤦🏻♀️
Ab mai Awara grdi thodi na krti.. Saal mei ek baar toh chhutti milni chahiye na.. Jb koi Crime hota h.. Then Criminals should be put behind the Bars not the Victim.
I can totally relate to you 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I wonder why were you even seeking permission since you were an adult at that point of time...
I am in LOVE with all your videos!. Keep up the good work guys!
Even I as an engineering student faced curfews in hostel. And even after staying in delhi (its not my hometown) there were many PG's which stated that women working at night are not allowed.
Curfews I would say it's more
Morals that needs to be fixed
Instead of drawing ineffective laxman Rekhas let's focus on the raavan itself 👍🙏🏾❤️
The whole Swaddle team is making this world a better place, everyday! love you guys!
I really felt this video a lot. I am a girl or if you want to call me a woman of 21 yrs old. I am a dancer posting content on Insta. I want to go out in an evening party hosted for and by dancers, this will really help me grow but my parents think that that's bs. It's not a good quality of a good girl(the reason I am referring myself a girl even at this age is my family doesn't think that I am old enough till I get married and then I can do things by asking from my husband) to go to parties, however, I have already graduated. My brother who just finished his schooling even during lockdowns was not having any curfew plus he is used to sleeping at his friends house without telling my parents about the sleepover n they are completely okay with it. Why can't they be okay with my party which will be over at 10 p.m.? When asked a reason they scolded me a lot especially saying my friends are spoiling me, am I small enough to get in my friends words if they are wrong?
Dear Swaddle please make a video on how parents think their young daughters especially of 20s are their small babies while how their sons even if they are 16 yrs old or below 20s are grown up man.
i am paranoid to even go to the bus stop
Why don't make men stay at home and let women roam around late as women r the ones who r targeted.if u think this is nuts then putting curfew on women alone does not make any sense.
Ya you are right
But objectify restrictions objectift the problem like an individuals safety is on himself or herself
You have to find out means to be safe from the world's reality
My brother rarely stay at home, but I rarely go out, and still aren’t trusted
In the central university i studied during 2005-08, girl's hostels had curfew of 8 pm while boy's hostel had no such curfew. Some PhD students and technical courses like BTech, MTech, MCA allowed female students "special" permission to stay in the departments or labs till 10 pm. So while our male classmates could stay out for project work/assignments or just loiter around, we had to scurry back to the hostel. What's ironic here is that despite all these restrictions, few students still ended up being molested by construction workers in the campus itself.
Idk why but I shivered a bit while watching video 🥶
Thank you for showing the correct map of India. Happy that you realised your mistake and corrected it at the earliest.
I appreciate your efforts and am well aware about the challenges faced by women. I have a sister and mother and I always fight for their rights. They themselves are unaware of their rights many a times and this makes me feel sad about our society. Hence, I want equality for all. But not at the cost of creating a divide between two genders.
Content must be on equality for all.
According to me, one must not promote hatred against men. Rather it would be adequate if one tells what men lacks in them. Men must understand their narrow mindedness and hence must broaden their perspective.
Also, women must realise their true ability and show it to the world without any fear (of society) but with a sense of responsibility / duty / rationality in acts.
Problem is with both attitudes of men. Men in general are ignorant of their incapability of learning the true potential of women. Hence they feel, they are correct in judging the capabilities of women and because of their ignorance they undermine women in lot of activities and sometimes even take wrong advantage of the same. In second case, if some group of man are capable of understanding the capability of women which is equality of women in all spheres of life with men, then they try to suppress it by their ego and selfish attitude for gaining or retaining power with them. That's when you term it as Patriarchy.
On the other hand, Women often allow to make themselves feel victim instead of being a warrior themselves. They too shall learn to fight against the hurdles by educating the mass about their true potential through their tough actions. Women also do not support other women when it is required. Its the issue of jealousy, hatred, power politics, etc among women too which is very natural considering the nature of animal instinct in humans. That's why women are also suffering.
Also, Men and women must learn to respect each other and must respect oneself first. They must be ready to sacrifice their desires for the need of their counterparts. None must lose one's self-respect for continuing one's relationship with counter-part. They must be truthful to each other and trust each other. Both must protect each other from the ignorant society. And so on..
Hence, If one gender always try to make themselves feel victim and shows other gender as villain then it will go nowhere. It will create only trust issues, lack of empathy, hatred, etc.
Kindly spread love and peace.
Thank you :)
I'm wondering why you have 1 like(excluding mine). This comment should be pinned.
@sudarshana chakra 3.0 You people even if are correct.. kindly refrain from using improper language.
It harms your intention of spreading awareness regarding different intentions of swaddle for India.
Hope you understand this.

@sudarshana chakra 3.0 that's weird.
And kinda wicked too.
Actually we should work on our physical strength so we can walk around freely.. Because not only woman but man also get mugged at night so we all should work on that 😊
acha lga ye sb sunke but it's hopeless all the talks, voices, discussions, fights, it's all just hopeless this society is helpless and the country too

You are doing EXTREMELY WELL in bringing comprehensive awareness about the Important issues with factually and critically well analysed research work with a great presentation with nuanced psychological strategies in making these videos. Your hard work is paving to the enlightenment of many Indians.
HEARTFELT THANK YOU..
KEEP SERVING THIS NATION WITH UR GREAT WORK....
According to me..it actually lies in the mere core of our society...each and every step each and every small aspect of things play their role in it...as important as it is to teach all your sons that they have to respect women(and every gender as a matter of fact), teaching your daughters self-defense and making them strong enough to not run away from something but face it, fight it and win, is very important. That is where it starts .. changing someone's thoughts when they've lived with them for years and belived in them for years is near impossible in most cases. As a parent, as a teacher, as anyone who is part of the society we need to ensure and it is our moral responsibility that we teach everyone ( inspite of their genders, cast, creed, colour) right and wrong, good and bad, because that is one way I see the society can improve in coming years. Change will only happen when you stop hoping for it and start working for it!
That's a really good point but you know even if we start taking SERIOUS measures it will take some time to improve and till then they have no other option than to prohibit women from going out late at night .
So my mom got bad stomache at 2:00 am so I went to pharmacy store to bring medicine and my building watchmen told everyone I went out and he repeatedly told dad about it and still don't know why
This channel is so underrated!
Swaddle! I absolutely love your content
Ohhh god ....so relatable
So happy in love with you guys love from Nepal 🇳🇵.... Raging nepali feminist koi xa vaney like gara
We live in a country where still people think nirbhaya was at fault ( once one of my school teachers said that 60% mistake was on her side!) Even the hathras victim's 'character' was questioned . Most people in power question the woman without knowing anything because they know the genral the majority of their voters would be happy with such statements . We as women don't put forward our demands and the value of our votes decreases .
Why can't we declaire that we will not vote for parties which do not kick out members who give such statements and we will vote for them in the next term only if they bring changes in the laws
1. Marital rape
2. All family laws requiring father's name in all the official documents
And many more . Activists should run such campaigns
I don't have words to appreciate swaddle.......👏👏😊😌it's really good
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm a boy and curfew is imposed on me as well... But I totally get the point of this video also this video needs more views!!!
My parents keep boosting how self sufficient I am to protect myself by telling my stories to people... But guess what.. my curfew time is still was early than my brothers... Strange.. isn't it.
I love you guys, your speak my mind out.
Jab hum gao jatein hai tab Mere dadaji mere papa aur tauji ko rat 8:30 bajein ke bad bahar nahi nikalne detein. Durga puja ke time pein vi nahi.
@Rahul Chanana Tripura.
@Rahul Chanana Actually mere dadaji gao pe rehteh hai na islie. Jaldi so jatei hai. Aise toh him town mein reh te hai aur 11 bajein soyein hi
Overthinking series is more like thinking in the right direction! Kudos to Swaddle. Love the video as usual.
Relatable AF
Edit: I think it's high time that instead of putting curfews on women, they are taught self defense. I believe atleast one form of fighting / defense technique should be taught in school.
Laksman rekha ki wajah se sita nahi bachi thi,
Raavan ke marne se bachi thi.
It's time we make the world a better and safer place for EVERYONE to live and breathe in.
i love every bit of content that the team at the swaddle produces. my only issue is, the topics discussed in the ‘overthinking it’ series deserve to be picked apart, and this is in no way overthinking it. i know you guys were probably just looking for a catchy title but the label doesn’t do any favours to the discourse around problematic behaviours in india. us women are actually told that we’re overthinking when we try to talk about these things in real life. being told that we’re overthinking something that genuinely affects our everyday reality is really patronising and dismissive.
i hope you guys understand what im getting at.
From:- ye Delhi hai mere yaar... Bss ishq mohabbat pyar
To :- ye Delhi hai mere yaar... Bass rape murder or crime
I am a man. This channel has great content but these things may not even be discussed in our mainstream society
agree
Lodaa he tu.
I am a man, and these things are idiotic and shouldn't be discussed.
@@SS-hy4dy why?
@@MeowMeow-pe8nq Because it doesn't make any sense.
We women r humans too, and we deserve the same freedom men do. 🙂
