It is high time that we stop victim blaming, understand the nuances of ongoing consent and end rape culture!
She is not a victim! Though she is self-loathing, self-blaming, Screaming in silence with scars and blisters, She is no less now, than what she earlier was.
Rather HE is a victim of his inner demons.. Of vile thoughts, of violence, of heightened narcissism He apathetically behaved in a socially forbidden way, committing a heinous, horrendous offence. He intimidated her with his futile masculinity, Asserting control, strength and toxic dominance. For his one titillating, aggressive moment, He mocked her dissent and enforced entitlement. Motive? Demean, humiliate, degrade, Or to give her a lifetime of trauma and social detachment?
Its not about her provocative dress, courageous mistakes or forbidden choices, It’s about his fear, foul intent and twitchy insecurities. Its about time to rethink sexual abuse, Its time to accuse only the accused!
HE touched her without her consent. Why it’s HER who society should resent?

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.
