Ughhhhhhhh No matter how much freedom we attain from this excellent liberal arts education, it serves no use if our own people are the ones sabotaging us. I'm so tired of the sexist attitude of MY FAMILY that is holding me back and consequently preventing me from making them proud. Why are the women the ones who have to eat the left-over stale food from days before when the men are the ones that eat the fresh food that WE have slaved over?!! Why can't the men just get off their asses and pour a damn glass of water?!! I mean it comes straight out the refrigerator! Why is it implied that because I'm a woman I MUST help in the kitchen and do all these chores when I have other things to attend to? Why are people still so damn close-minded? I'm not saying that I'm lazy and want to bum around all day long but if my brother was in question, he wouldn't have to move a muscle and they'd still brag about him, whereas I am still loose change for them. I don't know if you have these things called Samaj or Jaat(huge extended clan). But they expect us to marry within the Samaj so that the pure Brahmin blood stays within the family. F that! Watch me marry a black guy just to spite them. I understand they're more attached to my other cousins because they live with their family. But they don't even take into account my feelings when they continuously brag about them (I'm sure they know nothing about what I really am like). Whatever Nayaka. At least I have you... or do I? Ohh well, I'm destined to die as a lonely old hag anyway.
