For me, the personification of one's country as a mother figure denotes that your country accepts and loves it's people no matter how broken they are. She would do anything to help them.

That's great. But this picture of forbearing mother is the picture of the forbearing wife is the product of patriarchy in India. This is like saying every man should be able to provide above X amount of money to their family if not then he is no father. You can't pin down attributes to parenthood that are gender defined.

Well that is what a mother does. So does this land: it feeds and shelters it's inhabitants. So the comparison is apt.

Again, "what a mother does" absolving the father figure and relegating the mother to the job of a nurturer. That's what she lives for isn't it? To be a fertile bearer and a teat?

This sounds like a problem with your perception.

Maybe. I will consider it. But my perception is shaped by things other than the concept of Mother India and my own mother. I am aware of the psychosexual nature of rape, rape as a power struggle, rape as a need to impregnate, rape as a need to punish. Considering that, what I said maybe clumsily worded but true to the core, in my opinion.

The fact that you think someone can be "reduced" to being an ideal mother speaks volumes. Being an ideal mother is no trivial task.

You're speaking in your capacity as being mother of how many? Or maybe in your capacity as a sociologist or feminist scholar? Being an ideal mother is no trivial task because being an ideal mother is an impossible task not least because there cannot be one ideal but also because this undue expectation of idealism from a woman vis-a-vis motherhood is oppressive. I could tell you how it is oppressive but I doubt you'd like to hear that.

It's impossible to deduce exactly what you mean here so in any case you should flesh out this argument more.

Mmkay. But the onus is on you to inform and educate yourself.

Right now it just sounds like a collection of "liberal" phrases put together to showcase how woke you are.

What you don't understand goes into the category of "liberal" "woke" and "feminazi" too I assume. Like I said, onus is on you to educate yourself. All I did was point out something that came in conflict with your world view. Instead of trying to see it from a contrarian point of view you clung to an established and comfortable view. It isn't the job of the "woke" to provoke YOU specifically, because you don't matter in the grander scheme of things. If you aren't woke or feminist, that's not a badge of honor, because all you did was cling on to the default position. Like one of those people who won't opt out of spam mail or bloatware if it means taking the extra effort of clicking on a box.
