While older generations of Indian women are complacent in this fucked up way of thinking, younger generations are less willing to put up with this shit.
This is true to some extent.
Let’s talk about the privileged here, who can get education. Younger generation, even though being educated, are still conformed to the family and societal norms. Education is still unable to break these conservative norms, as for being a good individual in the face of family and society, you’ve to follow these norms. It starts with disguised discrimination, and the sum of this is the individuals inability to view women as equals to men, or as just mere objects. Misogyny has been internalised. This goes both for young men and women.
