Being a woman in today’s world is not just difficult it’s dangerously exhausting.

From public spaces to private homes, from workplaces to WhatsApp chats women are expected to constantly adjust. Adjust when they're catcalled. Adjust when they're touched without consent. Adjust to period pain, unwanted comments, unequal pay, marital pressure, sexist jokes, and the lifelong demand to “stay silent and smile.”

But why? Why are they the ones always told to stay calm, stay quiet, stay strong?

In this unapologetically raw episode of AravSpeaks, I raise my voice for every woman who has been forced to bury hers.

Why are abusive words rooted in women’s identities? Why are photos taken without consent brushed off as “casual fun”? Why do we question what a woman wore, instead of why a man felt entitled to touch her? Why is her “No” not enough?

From dowry deaths to period stigma, molestation in buses to moral policing, this episode pulls back the curtain on what women endure every single day — and how society, instead of correcting the abuser, corrects the victim.

Every time she bleeds in pain but still shows up for work, every time she walks faster at night, every time she hides her pad in a brown cover, every time she’s told “don’t speak up, it’ll ruin your image” she is surviving in a system that was never built for her safety, comfort, or dignity.

This is not feminism. This is reality. And it’s time we face it.

Whether you're a brother, father, friend, or simply a human being with empathy this episode is a mirror. A mirror to how deeply embedded misogyny, silence, and shame are in our culture.

Stop telling her to adjust. Start adjusting your mindset. Speak up. Listen. Change begins here.

🎙️ This is not just a podcast. It’s a call for accountability. It’s a voice for every woman who was forced to suffer in silence.
