Women buy more gifts than men do. But even we admit that gift giving takes lot of work. And if you’re anything like me, you must be absolutely clueless (no, I’m not kidding!) on what you should be getting on your cousin’s or your sister’s/brother’s or your (boy/girl)friend’s 21st...
“Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment.”...
