Behave like a lady

No matter how common it is for women to wear jeans and do better than men at times, there will always be women who tell me how to behave like a lady. “As a woman, you're supposed to...”
Wait, who told YOU what I'M supposed to do?
Don't go out at night. Well, it's not unsafe for us to go out at night because of us, but because our beloved 'Pados waali aunties' forget to teach their sons that if you see a woman alone at night, it's not an opportunity, but a responsibility. But they aren't to blame either, are they? Who will 'behave like women' if they teach their sons to behave like men?
Don't wear skimpy halters and short dresses. Because hey, you're a woman and you live in a country where woman = object of gratification.
Don't talk to strangers, specially men. Because a woman who talks to men she's never met before, is a woman of a 'loose character'. As if character is a pair of pants which need to be secured with the belt of reserve.
Don't be strong. Because we are princesses who need the protection of knights in shining armour, and 'strong' is a word for men.
Respect your elders. Most of all, accept immediately any decision about your life that your elders take, because baby you're a liability, not an asset.
Don't talk loudly. Because a woman is not supposed to speak out her mind. Speaking out is a 'man' thing.
And what makes my blood boil is that it's not men who impose these rules on us. It's women. Because heck, we can't decide what to be, we already are women!
