Change begins at home.
The world has always told a woman what to do and what not to do. All the restrictions, household responsibilities and the results of a regressive mindset are always borne by the women or the female partners. And it is high time that we start changing our ways as a society. The greater responsibility to do this falls on the parents as the newer generation of kids needs to learn new values, especially the boys. And a social media creator by the name of Payal Desai is bringing about this change by teaching her son how to become a better partner in future and break stereotypes of toxic masculinity.

Payal Desai shares many reels on social media to show how she teaches her little boys the lesson to become better men in a world that has always seen toxic masculinity and patriarchy. Basically, as a mother to a son, she teaches her everything that was not supposed to be learnt by men and was always considered to be a woman’s job. The social media creator strives to break the stereotype of gender roles. For a simple thing going grocery shopping is so difficult for men so she posted a video teaching her son how to efficiently do grocery shopping so he doesn’t bother his future partner with constant calls.
