As an Indian youth (girl mainly) there are several instances in my life that led me to wonder what my gender held that my character, positivity, honesty, and intelligence doesn’t. As I was growing up I was confused but did (could) not protest. Why was I, a girl child not allowed to perform certain tasks like my fellow boys. I wonder if it occurred to me why would they use the phrases like, behave like a girl and no, because you’re a girl. I was told, preached to and made to follow the patriarchy unconsciously.
I’ve heard many people talk about rape victims as “she was spoilt” or “he spoiled her” Especially the gossiping desi aunties who made me write this.
what d’you mean by SPOILT?
What is she, a packet of milk that you forgot to place in the fridge last night? No.
It’s her private body parts those were disturbed and she deserves justice for that but this, noway make her “spoilt” or “low life person”. She doesn’t need to bear a “label”. She neither not wants your pity look or sham care but just a normal life for which you need not put in so much effort like you do now. calm down…
The condition of her vagina has no association with the footing of her life or how she is going to be treated in the future. she is, in no way less than the other women. she has all the rights to aspire her dreams like every other lady and not to be looked at or spoken about in a specific manner. the little mumblings, tittle-tattles and speaking behind the affected persons who are fighting for a normal life doesn’t make them weak but you. don’t make their lives miserable by putting them into a pain worse than the rape. don’t be the reason for changing the girl’s dream from owning the world’s tallest building to jumping off that.. every word counts and every smile does too!
