This blog post comes from a man who has been an advocate of feminism, perhaps
more than any other man, or for that matter, woman, has ever been. So please
shove the gender bias hullabaloo where it is supposed to be shoved and read on.
Since time
immemorial, women have garnered a lot of attention for their suffering at the
hands of tyrannical men who have disrespected, used and abused them. A lot has
been written and spoken to draw comparisons between the moustache twirling and
bicep curling specie with dogs. Agreed, men have barely been a shadow of the
typical fairy-tale “prince charming” or “the knight in shining armour”. In
fact, one would agree that terming men “dogs” would be an insult to our
ever-so-loving and faithful canines. But times have changed and the tables have
turned; perhaps not in the right way they should have. This post is not about
the damsels in distress; you’ll find loads of those on every second girl’s
blasphemous blog. This one’s for the men; an awakening to warn my fellow folks
of the ludicrously shambolic state I find today’s women to be in (obviously not
all).
So I accidentally
stumbled upon the underbelly of social network in the form of an Instagram
account which belongs to a “hot and happening” 22 or so, Cancerian Delhiite.
This woman’s deep neck cleavage profile picture welcomes the visitors to her
mystical world of 100+ filter-laden snaps of – well you guessed it – skin show.
Alright, alright boys, calm your pants down! Just a quick little look at
the page already revealed the parts of her body which only her parents would’ve
seen when she was still a promising little child; or perhaps an ex-boyfriend;
in which case, good riddance! A closer look brought to light a picture of the quintessential
lipstick smothered vampiresque red pout, so shoddily inviting as if to say,
“Come, suck me to death” or maybe even “Come, let me suck to death”.
Strategically shot selfies revealed her ill-covered bosoms, and the house
mirrors reflected her bare back, all without exposing her face. Commendable
photography, I must admit. I also noticed her warmth in attitude towards the
12.2k followers who are occasionally treated with videos of a more exciting variety.
A quick boob-squeeze for completion of 5k followers, and a purposeful towel nip-slip
for hitting the 10k mark; all captioned lovingly as something like “Thanks for
following me. I love you’ll (horrendously misspelled) so much.” Honestly, I
can’t wait to see the depths of shamelessness this woman would go to when she
acknowledges the completion of further milestones.
“Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution
with our curiosity…. yes, indeed."
This is one
of my all-time favourite quotes (Source: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).
But alas! We human beings…. Always fail to apply our learnings. Perhaps I
should have recalled Dumbledore’s words when I was curious to tread further and
clicked on the suggested list of more such users. My faith in humanity,
especially womanhood, went tumbling down the steep slope of trust when I came
across several more vulgar and shocking profiles of teenage and mature women
alike. These ladies have even dared to reveal their faces along with their
bodies with relentless gusto, basking in the glory of impudence and brazenness,
while further entertaining the cheap comments made by class A perverts. And
that’s not the end of it all. There are several pages on Instagram, hosted by
such perverts, enticing women to share their most intimate pictures on the said
pages in the name of “shoutouts”. It actually feels like virtual pimping:
admins offering up a collection of some of their finest girls.
The insanity
of all this is not just restricted to Instagram or Facebook or Twitter. It has
extended to dating apps like Tinder (which is used more for mating). According
to a recently published article, Tinder now has more registered women than men.
And most of these hook-ups are one-night stands. Then there’s that odd variety
of women who end up making-out with random strangers just because they had “one
drink too many.” I mean where is all this gonna stop!
Lust,
attention, frustration, bad break-ups, deep emotional damage, misguided sense
of rebellion or even personal choice; whatever drives these girls to post such
pictures and act so irresponsibly, isn’t justifiable. I’m sure most of you are
already aware about whatever I’ve written. Many have ignored, and others have
accepted this as a part and parcel of the present day living. But I can’t
digest it. It bothers me to see the state of women, especially when they are
inflicting all this upon themselves. Imagine such women raising your kids! So
guys, beware! Choose your partners with a little more scrutiny.
A little gyaan
for my female friends reading this post:
If you agree
with what I’ve written, make sure to take the responsibility of correcting the
wrongs made by your counterparts. Stop your friends or people you know from
indulging in such behaviour. Encourage them to be better persons. Because
eventually, your children will be going to school with offspring of such women.
Respect yourselves and raise the standards of how you perceive yourselves to be.
You women deserve much more, much better.
P.S. It
is quite possible that jilted ex-lovers share such pictures with these admins
as a measure for revenge, which further makes me doubt the whole basis of
humanity.
