I can't stop laughing at the heading....
"those who live in Delhi and also for those who are feminazi.".....
This is a sponsored patrirachal news from media and CISF. Cant believe patriarchy is so deep rooted in forces. What's wrong in doing that? It's a skill man! Learn to respect knowledge first! They can do no wrong ever, havent you studied this anywhere? Does only patriarch men have right to know that skill? Havent you seen any magic trick on streets by patriarch? Kind of Yogesh sarkar? They are also female yogesh sarkar man! Fault unme nhi aap jaise patriarchal people me hai jo glass ko aadha khali he dekhte hai. Why should boys have all the fun? You are just jealous as even if their magic trick fails, they can escape away or blame patriarchal man around them which is their right. I think, you have been beaten in public for that and therefore this grudge. Only patriarch like you steal things and not them. Equality aane doge bhi ya nhi kabhi India mein? Respect them man!
