Our society is such that we always tend to expect everything from a woman. Be it a wife or a mother she has to perform all her duties and for her family is the top most priority. The so called unconditional love! There would have been many instances when one must have witnessed a woman taking care of her family even when they are tired or sick.
We are talking about this because recently a picture of a woman cooking in the kitchen while on oxygen support went viral on social media. Her son shared the picture online and wrote,

“Unconditional love = mother. She is never off duty.”
Wtf is this shit?
Let the woman rest jeez. pic.twitter.com/hnj2qRQyvp— Navin Noronha (@HouseOfNoronha) May 21, 2021
The screenshot of the post went viral on Twitter, an netizens started to slam the guy for glorifying her mother’s condition.
Many people argued that the women needs rest as she is on oxygen support, but she had to work for her family.
We are so used to glorifying working through misery in this country. It’s sickening.

If they can use the internet to post this shit, then they can also use the internet to learn how to cook.
If their hands are functional enough to click this picture, caption it and post it, they can help too.
Im sick of people glorifying women’s misery as “unconditional love”!

It takes a special sort of jerk to not only have their wife/mother cook for them as she is gasping for air, but to share it on social media and gloat about it.
This sadly sums up the atrocities women have to endure in patriarchal societies—in the name of “unconditional love.”

I realize this is most likely staged for virality, but anyone who equates this with unconditional love should never be any relationship whatsoever.
We need to promote mothers’ self-care as love for the family, after all only she is healthy and well can she be there with them.

Glorifying women’s misery ,sacrifice and pain is a norm in our country… “She is never off duty ” has been said proudly often in our society… The reality is you never gave a chance to her being off duty

Holy fuck … How in the hell would you let a woman work in this condition ? And what audacity to promote this ?

The people in that house are monsters. She is cooking while on oxygen and instead of letting her rest, these idiots took a picture, posted it and went on about their lives.

Indian men act like they are vegetative when it comes to cooking.Also glorifying how pathetic they are by making the mom an idol because she was born to sacrifice for her family and kids. What about common sense, she most definitely has covid, the oxygen cylinder is near the gas.

While there were few who tried to justify the situation with their view of perspective
I guess the children don’t know how to cook so they asked their ailing mother..how are we supposed to react to this

I don’t have problem with this only if every single member of the family is tested positive and in the same situation.
If not take her to bedroom and let her take rest.
