Men were whining about the undue advantage that women traveling by public transport have in ladies’ coaches. A woman shut them up with her reply.
The ‘ladies coach and seat’ has always been a hot topic of discussion for men. They term it as ‘outrageous’ and have also accused us of playing a double game. They say that on one hand women talk about feminism and gender equality and on the other they take advantage of these ‘privileges’. But is it so?
We live in a society which in general pushes the idea that the needs of men should always be put above the needs of women. Hence, it is only natural that men will occupy the seats and in most cases not even bother to accommodate women.
Also, there are very few women and the seats go empty anyway. But why are there so few women?
The main reason these seats are reserved is because there is a need for it. Without them, most of the time, women in our society will never get a seat.
We can of course do away with these archaic regulations, which even most women find offensive, when our society is matured enough to start respecting women by thinking that they are both equal.

She posted this conversation on Facebook. Take a look.

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.
