I've worked as cabin crew for an airline and the way some people stare at us is pathetic. Wearing short clothes doesn't mean we are asking for it.
There’s a saying, “If a woman is dressed well, people will judge; if she is not dressed that well, people will judge too.”
We live in a world where women are still looked upon in a certain way regardless of what we are wearing. Why is it so easy to judge a woman?
No one bothers looking if a man walks around wearing shorts but if a woman does the same she gets stared at!
As soon as a woman steps out of the house she will get stared at by someone or the other. But don’t people understand how uncomfortable a woman gets when she is being ogled at?
I was wearing jeans and a regular T-shirt once, but still got stared at by a few people including women. It was a big deal for them.
This problem arises when parents start policing what their daughters wear. “You better wear a scarf or a long kurti” they say with concern. They should remember it won’t change the mentality of society, and let their daughters decide what they want rather.
I’ve worked as cabin crew for an airline and the way some people stare at us is pathetic. Wearing short clothes doesn’t mean we are asking for it. One of my crew mates was harassed by a passenger. He openly said the uniform which you people wear is to tempt the customers, which is absolutely not true.
We live in the 21st century, however, some people are still living in the medieval period. No one needs to judge or be bothered by whatever an individual is wearing because everyone deserves to live the life the way they want. Each and everyone needs to understand that our clothes or appearance don’t define our worth. And we do deserve equal respect.

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.
Love cannot be imposed Stalkers speak of love, which in a few minutes turns deadly when they are rejected by the woman.
