I\u2019ve decided to call this uni-gender, omnipresent tribe the \u201cpseudo-woke cult\u201d, or simply, PWC. Best described as a faux feminist, the PWC has nationwide recruits, concentrated mostly in the metros, and mentored by the likes of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/sex-and-the-city-carrie-bradshaw-delhi-india-sarah-jessica-parker-samantha-charlotte-miranda\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carrie Bradshaw<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Blair Waldorf, and of course, Regina George.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll hear them say something completely \u201charmless\u201d, for instance, \u201cGirls LOVE shopping!\u201d or \u201c Women CAN\u2019T drive.\u201d<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last October, I was hanging out with a couple of friends (a girl and a guy, 21st-century lawyers) planning our upcoming <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/table-for-three\/my-singaporean-friends-hor-fun-kway-teow\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> trip. We were in the middle of a discussion on visa charges and an estimated budget, when the girl suddenly remarked, \u201cDude, it\u2019ll obviously cost Devrupa more because she\u2019s a girl, no!\u201d Eh? Was the Singapore visa somehow more expensive for women? Was it some sort of a sexist nation? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If only the answer were as simple. My friend explained: \u201cBecause Devrupa will obviously go out shopping na, she\u2019s a girl!\u201d Singapore wasn\u2019t the one with a warped take on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/ho-ja-regender\/the-foul-mouthed-feminist-arre-ho-ja-regender\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feminism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; my friend was. Well, we went to Singapore. And well, I didn\u2019t shop.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had just lost a friend to PWC. I just wish Leslie Knope had gotten to her before Serena van der Woodsen did. Once that began, it felt as if I\u2019d stumbled onto the real-life equivalent of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Walking Dead<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where every other person was PWC zombie. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, a friend was having a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/life-lessons-from-the-workplace-watercooler\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">water-cooler chat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with her colleague who had pledged her waking hours to matrimonial websites. When asked why she wouldn\u2019t consider getting hitched to the batchmate she was then seeing, she declared her husband must be older than her, must be more mature (umm\u2026 in bed?), and must also be more intelligent (sure, because comparing IQ test results is certainly a better idea than getting tested for HIV). She went on to say that the groom would need to earn more than her, and be \u201ccareer-minded (sic)\u201d so that she could \u201cchill\u201d. I know that a woman is at liberty to choose to be a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/women-career-supermoms-mediocre-moms-mothers-homemakers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">homemaker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as is a man<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There it was back again \u2013 the strong stench of PWC. But where there is PWC, there is also my old friend optimism. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A male friend was starting out in a city where he hardly knew nobody. And like a true millennial, he resorted to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/tinder-dating-app-friendship\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tinder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to meet new people. Not a terrible idea \u2013 perhaps. He soon matched with a girl in her early \u201920s. As the ritual goes, they chatted for a couple of days before deciding to hang out at a caf\u00e9. From what he told me later, he had made it abundantly clear to her that he wasn\u2019t looking for hook ups. Regardless, when she found out he was genuinely not interested in a one-night stand, he was subjected to minor degrees of yelling and some awfully unkind remarks about how he must certainly be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/national-coming-out-day-homosexuality-lgbt-rights-kerala-india\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to not want to sleep with a girl who was offering herself for sex. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I felt bad for him. It hasn\u2019t been very long since I was in his place a couple of years back. Marvelling at the rather tragic irony, I ended up telling him, \u201cSo now you know how we feel when people refuse to take our \u2018no\u2019 for a \u2018no\u2019?\u201d <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wish we could all understand that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie quote better. \u201cThe problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognising how we are.\u201d <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t wish to burn PWC recruits at the stake for their unconscious bias knowing fully well that it stems from their social conditioning \u2013 a social conditioning marinated and deep-fried in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/patriarchal-indian-mom-fights-daughter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">patriarchy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that has led them to believe that every other woman aspires to don a Zara dress on a hot summer day, or have a fairytale wedding. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I wonder if we\u2019ll be ready to call ourselves truly woke anytime soon. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even as <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/socialmarketing.org\/archives\/generations-xy-z-and-the-others\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generation Y and Generation Z<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> millennials, we label people\u2019s choices according to their chromosomes on an everyday basis\u2026 sometimes, unconsciously.
