Women are body shamed, slut shamed, for everything that has to do with the male gaze. Victim blamed for it too! Here's powerful poetry that speaks of this.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t cover you up completely. But I didn’t think that was my job, cried the bikini.
I’m sorry, I exposed your legs to prying eyes, cried the shorts.
My mistake too, I let them get a view of your midriff, said the crop top.
I’m sorry, said the skirt, I think the slit was way too long.
I’m sorry, said the jeans, I shouldn’t have been so tight.
I’m sorry said the top, I let your bra peep out.
I’m sorry said the dupatta, I shouldn’t have slipped. But believe me it was the wind.
I’m sorry said the saree, I flaunted your curves.
I’m sorry said the burkha. The guy could see your eyes.
I’m sorry said the universe. I let you believe you were equal.
I’m sorry said the mother, I should have killed you while you were in my womb.
I’m sorry said GOD. I’m ashamed I created MEN.

Modesty or humility is viewed as the hallmark of a well-brought-up girl, which makes it hard for us to be open to any real compliments without feeling like an imposter.
Why is accepting that compliment so hard?
Colleagues: Have you lost weight? You look good! She (who has spent months doing Keto and weights): It’s the dress that’s making me look thinner!
Guests: Your house is so beautiful and neat! She (who spent the last five hours mopping and polishing): It could be tidier; there is just so much dust.
Does Ranbir Kapoor expressing his preferences about Alia using lipstick really make him a toxic husband?
Sometime back, a video of Alia Bhatt with Vogue went viral where she shares her go-to make-up routine and her unique way to apply lipstick. It went viral not for the quirkiness but because she said that after applying the lipstick, she “rubs it off” because her then boyfriend and now husband – Ranbir Kapoor likes her natural lip colour and asks her to “wipe it off”, whenever they are out on a date night.
Netizens had gone crazy over this video, calling RK toxic and not respecting AB’s choice to wear makeup. I saw the video a couple of times to understand the reason behind the uproar but I failed to understand it. I read many comments and saw people saying that asking your partner or dictating terms on how they should wear makeup is a major sign to leave the person.
Really?!
