Hello !
The point of this book is to create awareness about how wattpad authors give in to patriarchal and society norms , so that their book is pleasing and becomes famous.
I've read so many books where giving orders to a woman , making her uncomfortable , having non-consensual sex , is seen as a normal thing. Many books also tend to promote that a domesticated woman is more desirable .
I will not shy away from naming a few of them , "The bad boy in glasses", "Lucia and the bodyguard" , "Substitute bride" , "My possessive Billionaire","The fall of the drama queen ".
If you find these stories( and stories like these ) in my reading list then because I have too loved these books at some point of my life and they've made me act in a certain way.
The question that lingers on my mind is that who's fault is it.
Is wattpad a case of Caveat Emptor?
Rarely have I ever seen a wattpad author acknowledge that what they're promoting is not ideal for 21st century .
But is it totally the author's fault ?
Not really if you ask me, because as consumers , we have rarely raised voice against such practices.
Therefore , it's not just the author's fault , it's also the consumers to blame.
We should be really mindful of what we're promoting here because if we do not , a fourteen year old girl will never learn that consensual intimacy is a thing , that they are not meant to take orders from their partners , that doing domestic chore and destroying their self esteem is not the key to a person's heart.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk !
Also be nice , I wrote this at 2AM , give me some fucking credit.
P.S: IF you feel like changing this system , then demand the change and be the change,
Tag your friends and your authors so that they know how you feel.
Readers after all , aren't just here for votes.
On that note , do vote on each and every chapter of this book XD.
Bye !
