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.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
