For years, there have been many rules set for each gender. While some of these rules have a strong ground and logic, many of these were just made to boast one’s choice of living. Although women have often been vocal about the injustice posed upon them by society, men somewhat have suffered in silence as well. However, more and more people, males especially, have been coming forward nowadays to break the stereotypes and challenge the traditional gender norms. In light of it, a video of two men walking in Delhi Metro wearing skirts has surfaced online, and many flocks in support.
