Gen Z Must Reject Patriarchal Language and Abuse
A group of young women were protesting at a place called Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
Some of them shouted words that are hurtful to other women.
The writer, who works for a big political party, says this is a bad idea.
He thinks that people can fight for fairness without using mean words.
He remembers other protests where people spoke loudly but not with bad language.
He says that using old, hurtful words keeps old unfair ideas alive.
He wants everyone to use new, kind words when they speak out.
This way, everyone can feel free and safe.
Young women at Jantar Mantar used misogynistic slurs, sparking debate.
Author argues Gen Z can create new, non‑vulgar forms of protest.
Past movements (Anna Hazare, Nirbhaya) showed powerful, non‑crude dissent.
Patriarchal insults tie women to male honor, perpetuating inequality.
Liberation requires abandoning abusive language, not mimicking it.
