Society has double standards for women. On the one hand the need to live up to beauty standards, and on the other hand labeling her a slut for her choices.
SLUT
How do you define a Slut?
Red lipstick? The kind your favorite heroine wears or the kind that every lady on the newspapers you buy or movies you watch are painted with?
How do you define a slut?
Too much makeup? But wasn’t it your marketing line that she is “worth it”?
Big boobs or slender V necks that reveal big boobs? Or wait, does using the word boobs automatically put me on that list?
Big boobs. Slut. Isn’t that your favourite category in the incognito mode?
Small boobs. Padded bras.
Pierced navels and a crop top that shows off her belly? But, isn’t size zero what we taught her to aspire for?
Married without children. Not married with children. Married but does not want to sleep with her husband. Or not married but sleeps around anyway.
A girl who needs only her own fingers to make her blush? But really, is a penis a license to masturbate?
And really, is it a crime if I don’t like one?
Because lesbian porn is pleasure, but lesbians really just seem disgusting.
Not your sister. Not your wife. Not your mother.
Motherhood. Yes.
No thigh gap, stretch marks and breast feeding her baby in public? Slut.
Slender legs that she chooses to show off in a short skirt?
But, aren’t unwaxed legs a big turn off?!
Haven’t we accepted that normalcy is pouring hot wax on delicate areas and ripping it off with vengeance just to make that slut, pretty?
Those unnecessary big heels that make too much noise which is the only problem with your otherwise over-qualified lady boss?
Loud mouthed girl? Opinionated girl? Fat girl who wears skinny pants? Or skinny girl who shows too much skin? How do you define a slut?
As I asked this, they shut my mouth and said, it doesn’t matter if you like it or not. If you want it or not. If you choose it or not.
A slut is a woman who has too many sexual partners. A slut is a woman gets fucked too often.
I didn’t have to think too much.
I am a slut. So are you. And you and you.
Because, this society, their opinions, the lusty stares, the second-gender treatment, the prejudices, the narrow-minds and the inhumane treatment has fucked us all anyway.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
