Today afternoon a friend of mine sent me the following image asking what do i make out of it? Because she has been trying to think of any other way this can be interpreted optimistically.
I told her to ask the person, who sent her, what did he mean by this. When she did the same he said a friend of his, forwarded him this image and he forwarded the same.
When she had discussion with him he said he thought this is about clothing, so he shared it. And in few seconds he deleted the message not replying to anything.
Does, him deleting the image mean that he feels remorse ? Does this mean he now doesn’t feel the same way?
It just shows lack of remorse as he didnt say anything stating the same his only reply was to delete the image. Escapism!
If you have a valid point please move forward and have a discussion on same.
What’s the point of believing in something and not talking about it when questioned.
Most of people have become literate but not educated and sensible.|
They have become offsprings of patriarchy.
How can anyone define freedom?
Some of men and women think that freedom is given. Is it so?
Freedom of person is his own. It is no ones to give, a person their freedom.
It differs from person what they consider as freedom. Isn’t it?
When this person says that he forwarded the image thinking it’s about clothing, questions comes to my mind as to “Why is women’s modesty gauged by the clothes she wear?”
“Why is it that a woman only is always under scrutiny?”
Yes, I have male friends who agree with me and treat women equally. They understand that women are equals and treat them as a individual person.
At the same time I see people who don’t give their opinion out in loud for they don’t want to have a discussion on same.
There are some who blindly argue their point without acknowledging or comprehending what the other person is trying to say.
The so called moral policing and chauvinistic ideology is only bringing down the progress and hampering the growth of women coming out of patriarchy.
Scrutiny against women is done by all irrespective of gender, age etc
One should understand that women are not puppets and they have their own mind too. As you have your choice of preference to clothes so does she irrespective of its length and width etc.
Rigid patriarchal system, that has been in place for some time now, has only degraded the quality of life of a women.
So I am not shocked by his response, that as this is related to clothing he forwarded the message, because the environment that he was brought up in or the way he saw world has imbibed in him from childhood, that atrocities against women are partly because of their behaviour, clothing etc.
So when one is aware of what is discrimination start making people around you also aware of it and stop being a silent spectator to discrimination.
I feel one should introspect and think about themselves rather than scrutinizing other people.
When one gets a forward message or an image depicting a message, One needs to think the message it conveys, if you agree with it and can talk about the same. Spreading such messages without having any opinion this is like a never ending chain that has been happening in social media in present day.
One might think that this is such a small thing but it isn’t a small thing.
The impact it has on kids and other people who think this is right is profound.
This is only going to multiply if you know the scale of spread of social media.
Don’t stagnate and follow the “so-called norms of society” which are obsolete. Read more about discrimination and make yourself aware about it.
