It goes without saying that we reside in a patriarchal society and the list of things women should not say runs way longer than what they should. They're expected to behave in a certain way, not to forget the words and tone they use, especially when speaking to men. Things are so restrictive that it is often difficult for women to say an outright 'No' for things she does not want to do. Taking things from there, Twitter user @vegbby(gem) had tweeted a list of nine statements women should say more often. Her tweet went soon viral as more and more women found it relatable. It was even appreciated by American model Chrissy Teigen. While that's a great place to start from, the list of phrases that every woman should assertively use much more often than now is longer. We've put together a symbolic list of 15, but feel free to add more in the comments.(Designed by Rajan Sharma/The Indian Express)
