A woman dancing is always taken in the wrong sense by the society. Can't she dance because she likes it and just wants to have fun?
When a woman dances, she is taken otherwise by our society. They think she is inviting. The patriarchal society often takes women dancing in full swing in another way. They indicate so by their sign of throwing money notes with their hand. Normally, it is done so in the courtesans’ palace. Is this right? The same is copied by men in get-togethers and parties. We normally do not get offended by this sign. But when men dance, do we take it that way? The question to be given a second thought. If we are aiming to transform society. Let’s do it in detail. Every damn thing about our patriarchal society needs change. We need to be treated equally in all respects.
We like to have fun too and we might not be dancing in parties to attract men and invite them for sex. Women dancing in pubs and parties are often taken for granted and men take advantage and think it as an opportunity. Many women avoid social gatherings and parties because of this. They are scared of being judged as characterless by society. When I was a child, feared it too and this is very common in our society. Not every woman who likes to party is characterless. We deserve respect in all ways just like we do not judge men partying all the time. We consider them cool. Why aren’t women considered cool for the same thing?

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.
