2011年，在印度恰蒂斯加尔邦的乡下，一位名叫曼加利的年轻已婚女子第一次见到史瑞亚时，就用“重担落在我的肩上”来概括她和丈夫的关系。这一声明令人震惊，因为短短几句话，它就挑战了关于性别、婚姻、礼仪和幸福的一系列规范和假设。在一个重视男性统治和女性服从的文化背景下，这是对女性中心地位的直接主张。与赋权文献中认为妇女机构值得庆祝的期望相反，曼加利认为她的责任是沉重的负担，与她自己的愿望背道而驰。在社会规范倡导谨慎和接受自己命运的地方，曼加利几乎不加掩饰地批评她的丈夫，公开表达她对家庭关系的不满，这是对一个虚拟陌生人的不满。
‘The weight falls on my shoulders’ is the way a young married woman, Mangali,2 chose to sum up her relationship with her husband on the first occasion Shreya met her, in rural Chhattisgarh (India) in 2011. The statement was striking, because in a few words it challenged a host of norms and assumptions about gender, marriage, etiquette and wellbeing. In a cultural context that values male dominance and women’s deference, it was a direct claim of female centrality. Against expectations in the empowerment literature that women’s agency is something to celebrate, Mangali posed her responsibility as burdensome and counter to her own desires. Where social norms counsel discretion and acceptance of one’s lot, Mangali voiced a barely veiled criticism of her husband and an open statement of her own discontent with relationships at home, and that to a virtual stranger.
