00:00Having called somebody mother, ma, once in life, how can you start calling somebody else suddenly as ma?
00:07Just because she incidentally happens to be the mother of the one your hormones have fallen in love with.
00:13So she becomes your mother, how?
00:14Why do only women have to do this?
00:16They are expected to make a new home with their in-laws, leaving their parents' home.
00:21If you want to go into the reasons, the reasons are all very evolutionary and very material.
00:27When you look at the woman as a factor of production, manpower is a resource in the economy, right?
00:33And the woman produces manpower in the form of babies.
00:36So the woman is like a factor of production.
00:38In the eyes of economics, that's how she is, right?
00:40The factor of production is controlled by its master.
00:44The one who owns a productive resource wants to keep it in its own premises.
00:49So the husband carries her away.
00:51And for exactly the same reason, the girl is made to now wear and carry the name of the husband.
00:57New mummy, new papa, and new name also.
01:00No self-aware woman can agree to this.
01:02My sister lived absolutely the way she wanted to.
01:06She is a very, very strong person, very independent-minded.
01:11And people call her the man of the house.
01:13So I can only imagine that there can be parents of the kind who can push daughters out of the
01:21house.
01:21And that's a very scary imagination.
01:23She is a very scary person.
01:24She is a very scary person.
01:24She is a very scary person.
01:24She is a very scary person.
01:25She is a very scary person.
01:25She is a very scary person.
01:25She is a very scary person.
01:25She is a very scary person.
