Diksha Bijlani and her family live in Delhi with their little cousin who is nine-years-old. His cousin loves nothing better than painting his nails, wearing lipstick and learning to cook. But his ultra effeminate side hasn’t gone down well in what Diksha calls the stereotypical alpha male-centric household, where he’s often the pivot of jokes.
Diksha had tweeted, “My cousin, 9, is the most “effeminate” in the house. Let’s call him Little Cuz. Loves to paint nails, wear lipcolour, learn home science! But in this stereotypical alpha male-centric household he’s often the pivot of jokes. Today he applied lipcolour & got called a chakka.”
She further tweeted, “So he hid behind the curtain & under the bed, shielding his lipcoloured face from the camera & from his mom. Somehow it is always the moms that feel most “embarassed” with their masculine, hardy sons trying makeup. Or anything feminine.”
