Defund families

Defund families

Jul 28, 2020

Even skipping once my writing sequence can make me feel regretful and that really intensified because last Friday (day of writing) was an installment of trigger where I had a fight my mother, I could have utilised it but I did not (hail, the great Desi procrastinator) and all I can do is to amend that by writing on some occasion. So, today I am going to discuss about a mind-thumping and thought provoking thing that I have recently read about. And that is to defund dads but this is something really trendy on Tumblr and Twitter but it is not necessary for every individual to follow the trends, after all we aren’t in an entrepreneurial race.

So, the theme ‘defund dads’ did not astonish me entirely because this was subtly related to arrogant dads obsessively commanding on their children and furiously showing pride on sensitive nuances like child abuse. So, a lot of survivors were enthusiastic about defunding dads. One such survivor was found on Substack and I should rather point out commonalities that south Asian minorities feel the same way about authoritative dads and well dads should because after all we children are sole properties and whole burdens on our fathers/breadwinners.

This was all about an existential prowess but what really intrigued me is that people demanded nuclear families to be defunded. Families and from that I mean the traditional concepts of mom and dad to be defunded and redacted and certainly this is not easy or can be said unachievable at once. But the whole concept can be turned into an ideology or an on onset of revolution to adopt a safe place for children, free of restrictions, unavoidable obligations, free to grow and be themselves which is often lost in the so-called haven of parents.

I myself have been a leading a life where my parents proportioned conditional thinking with my life. I can’t say which places I have went on my own because the independence a girl is highly dependent on society and can she can go out did not need permission.

Stayed around walls have invited unsolicited thoughts which I render here unapologetically and the whole idea of defunding conditional families was needed but the higher probabilities  of ignorance will leave nothing but more build ups of foster homes . I want to dwindle deeper and I will but before saying tada, all I want to say is defunding parents will be so much common as those eras or even days where a baby was thrown in a trash and mother Teresa will just dump what society has to worry about her more than she does for herself.
