Societies are breeding grounds for the ideal of the “nice” woman. Theatre practitioner and director at Ekk Junoon Performing Arts Anamika Gautam has told Freepress Journal, “I have come across a couple of incidents where some women almost jeopardised my relationship in trying to be supportive and showing me the correct path. It made me uncomfortable as I didn’t want to hurt them for helping me out. But I had to put my foot down and request them to stop interfering.” According to her toxic femininity is where women start harming each other with falsity and ill intentions, justifying it as feminism.
