Hitesh Chhajer (hits)

**First cast from India 🇮🇳** As a new dad, I'm realizing how deeply patriarchal parenting runs here. From day one, relatives ask "is it a boy?" with hope in their voices. When I change diapers or wake up for night feeds, I get praised like I'm doing something extraordinary - while my wife gets criticized if she takes a break. The expectations are wild: boys get encouraged to be "strong" and never cry, while girls get told to be "good" and help with housework. I'm watching my friends raise sons who can't express emotions and daughters who apologize for existing. We're trying something different. Teaching empathy over dominance. Sharing chores equally. Letting feelings be feelings regardless of gender. It's not easy swimming against the current, but maybe that's how we change the tide. 🌊 #Parenting #India #GenderEquality #SocialChange #Web3Community
