Poem: She is a woman, and her role is not tied not too child-rearing and looking after men's need! She has feelings and she deserves respect!
Yes, she’s a married woman,
To be specific, a single married woman.
Yes, I know you guys have your eyes on her,
Because you think she’s fragile and devoid of his support.
Yes, she’s not just got her home and kids to look after,
But she’s also gotta think of all your dirty glances,
That is going to check her out from head to toe,
Just like a starving man has his eyes straight on that one leftover meal.
Yes, you know she’s vulnerable, you know she’s unstable,
So she’s going to put up with all your deeds,
And pretend to be that perfectly normal lady once again,
Lest you’ll tear down her modesty, and all self-esteem.
Yes, you think this will go on every single day,
And that luck will favour you someday.
Yes, you think this would break her down completely,
And that would be the end of your vicious game.
But yes, haven’t you thought of a different ending,
To your story altogether?
Yes, she’ll be unstoppable,
Once she knows she’s worth much more.
And yes, for heaven’s sake, she’s a woman,
Not a public commodity.

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.
