Universities are supposed to enlighten students, but by creating golden mother award, it seems one of the universities is dragging students towards the dark ages.

They must stop glorifying motherhood. Educated, independent and intelligent women might not like to marry and have kids. Let women take total control of their own body. Let women decide what they want to do with their uterus. It does not need a brain to be a mother. It just needs sexual intercourse. Patriarchal society is making women’s life hell by forcing women not to have pre marital sex, to marry and be submissive, be a child bearing machine, a sex object and a slave of men. It’s not a university’s responsibility to encourage women to become a mother. University should encourage women to be a dignified and respected human being. It is totally women’s personal matter whether they want to produce kids. It seems Calicut university crossed the university boundary and entered women’s private bedrooms.
