Are we getting desensitized to the concept of 'rape'? Rape happens because of rapists, hence, let's stop the victim blaming and address the root cause.
Are we getting desensitized to the concept of ‘rape’? Rape happens because of rapists, hence, let’s stop the victim blaming and address the root cause.
“A rape happens more because of a female than a male.” A by default considered truth in our nation.
Her short dress excites him, her exposed body gives him an adrenaline rush.
If she is seen on streets after 8 pm, it’s only natural that she gets molested.
If she is goofing around with a guy, why not even we give her a try?
Yes, these are the “KNOWN CAUSES” of rape. But wait, what’s popping up in the news?
“An 8 month baby got raped and the nation’s capital is in anguish.”
Now people, tell me what is the cause of this heinous act? No late night, No boyfriend, No sexy dress but yet she is brutally molested!
This time too, the RAPIST is the only cause of the molestation.
The victim’s family is working on hand to mouth basis. So, they asked her 28 year old cousin to babysit their infant in their absence. Toilet, (these days rains), and a boy’s erection come uncalled for and uninvited. On just the sight of a girl, the guy started imagining vagina. Vagina- a free of cost weapon for guys to satisfy their sexual urge. He put his finger in her little hole and kept molesting her till she started bleeding profusely. I wonder how his vulgar hands didn’t shiver when he committed this monstrous act?
The girl at this tender age, is laden with stitches and needles when actually she should be just listening to lullabies in the cradle.
When the entire nation was blabbering whether a film should be named PADMAAVAT or PADMAAVATI, nobody was bothered about the girl in the present, the girl who has barely lived.
A 10-year-old in some corner of the country gets pregnant after being raped, but what we still care about is what Taimur had for lunch!
The bottom line is, we are getting desensitized to the concept of rape and these days, not even the rape of young children is making us rise into a agitated hue and cry!
We are getting used to letting the vagina to be used as a toy.
We are getting habituated to being afraid when sitting in a cab in the middle of night.
And it is this adaptability which is leading to further perpetuating of the rape culture and the culture of victim shaming.
Why can’t we raise our voices against the lenient laws against rape in the country?
Why can’t we stand together and bring a revolution?
It is high time we stop protecting our vaginas and instead, we need to stop allowing these monsters to wander freely with their criminal dicks.
Let us put a ban on getting our soul murdered.
Let us raise a slogan- “Hang the ‘dick’ or cut off his dick.”

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.
