In Rajasthan’s Bundi, four young women cremated their father, and the family was allegedly ostracised for this act. This incident illustrates the extent of son preference in our society. 

My precious daughter has Down's syndrome, and though I've dealt with the pain and depression that came my way, at some times emotions get the better of me!

Parents, you'd better get with the times and stop telling some absolutely 18th century things to your daughter - times have changed, and these are ridiculous!

We need to introspect as parents. What are we teaching our daughters? Do we teach them to be good, polite ladies, or sassy strong women?

I had a feminist father, but because he was an introvert who did not express his feelings, and had a very forbidding exterior, I had not realized my privilege then.
