Saphira:

large cranium

*Eragon chattering on about farming and how he and Roran would always do the planting*

Saphira who is a dragon and has no idea wtf farming is:

Krishna through my lens

We spend years learning about the Constitution and its finer details ,which ,naturally,is condered an important aspect of a well-rounded education. This is to create a sense of idealism in the impressionable minds of young students.But as we grow older we realise you don't get justice unless you are 'important'.How does the case of a woman who has been raped,whose dignity has been violated and self-respect shattered drag on and on for fifty years?!?Does our our so-called justice system expect the victim to arrive at court with her grandchildren to punish a sexual predator who has probably committed the same crime 20 times over due to lack of immediate action and punishment.This is in contrast to politicians and journalists whose cases are so highly publicised that they have to be taken up on a 'high -priority basis'. We are taught that everyone is equal before the law.But does this social equality really exist?I am not questioning the Constitution or any of its ideals but its excellence is rendered invalid when those who really need these institutions consider equality itself a luxury.

It can't be a coincidence that feminism is progressing well in third-world countries and every piece of desi media, especially soap operas with the target audience of housewives, decide to glamorize the role of the "Angel of the House" or "Kudumba Kuthuvizhaku" (light of the house) which is the stereotype of the woman unconditionally putting the needs of her in laws, husband, children and everyone before hers.

They also repeatedly villainize the woman who dresses liberally, and doesn't have the personality of a doormat.

Even worse is the propaganda of the Knight in Shining armor, who comes to the woman's rescue and in whom she should place unconditional trust in. The women around her are jealous, petty, scheming bitches and hence, unworthy of her companionship

It's almost as if this is done intentionally to thwart the class consciousness desi women are slowly forming and reiterate the harmful ideas we've been forced to play for centuries:

You exist to serve your family. You are not valid if you are your own person, only a mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law

If you deviate from the conservative style of clothing/thinking, you're immoral. If you are assertive, selfish, ambitious, and have a backbone, you're the BITCH

Other women exist only to tear you down, they are always plotting your downfall, so put all your faith in the man. He's your hero and protector after all

It's seemingly just drama on the outside, but seems to be a very sinister patriarchal response to feminism on the inside?

Roran: There are only three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Roran way.

Nasuada: Isn’t that just the wrong way?

Roran: Yeah, but it’s faster.
