Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the concepts of womanhood and masculinity are largely social and commercial constructs rather than inherent truths. He argues that what people often define as femininity—such as specific behaviors, postures, or appearances—are merely stereotypes that have been hyper-inflated by society. These ideas are fabricated and change with time and context, yet they exert a powerful hold over individuals, effectively enslaving them. He emphasizes that both men and women are victims of these rigid scripts, which are designed to create artificial differences to fuel attraction and commercial interests. By turning individuals into 'hyper-women' or 'hyper-men', society hacks away at their true potential and original authority.
