Priyanka Bhargav, Head/Associate Director, PR, Myntra Designs Pvt Ltd has a lot of things to laugh at and dismiss. The most common of them all is when she goes out for dinner with her husband, and is more-often-than-not offered the food menu, while her husband is handed the bar menu? “Why? Can’t we women drink?” questions Priyanka.
What’s even worse is when it’s time to pay the bill. The bill is always handed to the man and we, ladies, are given a feedback form to fill. “Do they think we are not capable of paying for a meal?”
So, this Women’s Day, Priyanka has decided to not let these stereotypical gestures bother her!
(Hey there, lady! What makes you laugh? Do you laugh at sexism, patriarchy, and misogyny? Do 'sanskaari' stereotypes crack you up? This Women's Day, join The Quint's Ab Laugh Naari campaign. Pick up that beer, say cheers, and send us photographs or videos of you laughing out loud at buriladki@thequint.com.)
