SOME MYTH BREAKING POINTS ABOUT WOMEN 
REPRESENTATION

Opting for gender as it is a closer experience, we would like to focus 
on why we must hand on access to platforms of privilege to the 
marginalized, over speaking on their behalf, about their experiences 
as they watch from the sidelines. Conversations of social constructs 
like gender need to be looked at intersectionality. Academic 
discourse is infamous for having at the center stage only straight, 
male, white voices. A paradigm shift here needs to make the 
information young, and impressionable minds process more 
representative. many girls schools in Dehradun teach their students 
about importance of women representation.

REPRESENTATION
Writing is always imbued with passion; it relates to our existence. 
Hence, even if brilliant and engaging, our stories will never be 
honest unless said in the first person. These narratives are not 
mere fables; they tell us of a people we will never live like. 
Patriarchy is not a symptom, but the system itself, rotten at its 
core. It shows that the modern world was built by the male 
specimen, to paraphrase Greta Thunberg. Men cannot write of 
women because the fact that our experiences vary astronomically 
is overlooked. The advances in feminization have now extended 
to branches of persecution; Americans write about poverty, two 
out of three of the beggars are now women. I’d be mistaken if I 
believed these were the strides we wanted to take as a collective.
And the fact that gender in mainstream conversations is no 
longer a binary baffles those protected by the status quo. ‘Trans 
Lives Matter’ and ‘Gender is a social construct’ is a sentence 
every politically aware and charged youngster our generation will 
tell you. But are the people we bring to houses of change 
listening? Voices in protest will always come from the forced 
periphery, and it is our duty as a people to give it centrality for it 
to influence the money that flows, the seats in power occupied. 
We must teach youth tales of those who do not define the norm.

MIS MANIPULATION OF REPRESENTATION
It is easy to mistake that the change harbinger is enough because we are not taught 
to see critically. Why are movies written about women by everyone but them? Why 
do the prominent hold others back in their progress? Because the current structures 
teach us that our ideals of contentment and success come at the cost of others. 
Empathy as a mass emotion holds no ground.
Sympathy has often driven artists to create; photographers take pictures of the ailing 
in hutments; everyone’s second aunt writes of oppression when our armed forces are 
attacked. But this feeling only lends a sense of sociability to our actions. Regardless 
of intention, our visualization and persuasion in matters of the world will always be 
lacking, as our agency is handicapped, for it is not originally ours. Like Adam Smith 
had said, our interest and imagination delude the right thing to be said. However, 
unfortunately, the lopsided continues as these self-styled representatives comment 
on lives and legacies that are not their own.
Another thing to add, sympathy is distant; it looks from far away and feels sorry. This 
is misplaced for the purposes it seeks to serve. The concern is, more often than not, 
egotistical and narrow. This dynamic should not be simplified in terms of rewarding 
those who come out on top or labeling those who speak against it as courageous. 
Instead, identify the horrible need to have to do these things in the first place. We 
survive in a matrix of domination, and feminist thought of all colors, races, and 
sexualities must be allowed to breathe.

GENDER BIAS
One may argue about the merits of bias, speedy scrutiny, aiding choice, 
and target detection; the list will go on for as long as we want to distract. 
But this is a thin line when we talk of Oppression Olympics within an 
institution as pervasive as this one. Of course, this is a process of 
community learning and unlearning, and it is not like the marginalized 
sustain themselves on a vendetta. But while that explains things to an 
extent, it does not make justification or reparation. Moving ahead must be 
about affirmative action.
The intention is too flaky a basis. No statistical power drives this model, 
and the heightened tolerability of the damned must not be condoned. Write 
and write of lives you have not lived, not for them. Borrow what is not yours 
instead of adopting a haphazard amalgamation which is just shades of the 
governing with the hint of the rest. There needs to be an account of the 
unheard and unacknowledged, for if circumstance forbids current 
subjugators do not engage with, their successors do. Work must not 
fetishize the female experience.

THE RIGHT PATH
Something as persuasive and personal as literature should especially honor the 
sanctity of the writer. Mothers teach their children to write from our hearts and not our 
egos, but how do we write honestly when the material we jot by ‘digging deep’ is a 
false or stolen construct? Makes you wonder why rapists like Alfred Hitchock and Pablo 
Neruda are still being shoved down our throats in the school curriculum.
Movements span decades and draw from a common body of work, making it essential 
for truths spoken here to be evergreen. We can achieve that by having those at the 
help who have been blindsided for these very decades. It is powerful, ever-evolving, 
and persevering and, thus, should not be boxed into typical characters holding the mic. 
To be dramatic, books are the harmony of people, but if not all of them get to 
participate, we repeatedly choose to leave out those who continue to exist for our 
comfort and insulation. There will come those in the revolution who shall demand 
every single one to walk astride, and then this topples.
As per the international schools in Dehradun, It is also imperative to see 
microaggressions (subtle discriminations). Often, neutrality and invisibility are a bigger 
crime in gaps in rights and liberties (think Dante Alighieri). To answer the question 
shortly, yes, a writer’s experience as a member of a particular group comes through 
their work’s raw authenticity. Ethically anyway, it is only and only their position to 
occupy.
