I got my period when I was 14, but that wasn't the time I realised its tough being a girl, it was when I was 12, a senior rubbed his hands all over my body taking an advantage of the rush outside the school canteen, there was this unusual feeling of disgust I never felt before, but it didn't end there. little did I know, it was mere a beginning to a series of unwanted events I never asked for. Random grisly stares from disgusting looking humans with pathetic thoughts about me, those hand touches in public transport and wherever you name it, and its worse when you can sense that utter pathetic intention behind that touch, oh lord nothing's worse than this. I was used to all this, but then I grew older to the point where I realised its really tough being a girl in this world, hoping for a change.
#metoo movement, there are many with it, many more against it.
"The Me Too movement, with many local and international alternatives, is a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault."
let me tell you something, if someone has ever been sexually harassed, that incident haunts them for life. every night, they sleep thinking about the incident that broke them apart, its like a weight on their chest that keeps getting heavier and heavier as the time passes. If a person, who has already suffered a lot, decides to finally speak up and have courage to face the person who destroyed their soul completely, what is the problem?
calling out names, who destroyed lives, for the sake of satisfying their egos, do you really think there is something wrong in this? and when I talk about this, I include every gender here. we should hear people out, we should be with them and take actions against the accused. I agree there are chances for false cases too, but at least give that 1% attention to these people speaking up than you give to taimur's pictures dear media.
I have no expectations from this world, a world where women are objectified, seen inferior, considered mere a baby producing machine, taught to be perfect wives, what to expect?
a world where men are supposed not to cry, not to express their feelings, have strong bodies, dominate, to not talk about their emotions.
It's why many men are prone to violence, particularly against "easy" targets, such as women and children.
GENDER ROLES ARE HOLDING SOCIETY BACK.
everything is interconnected, we all should talk about sex openly, its no shame, we should talk about one's needs, so that there are not sexually frustrated people out there who harass people and let them live with this weight for lifetime. we need to accept things, talk about it, and solve it as a society.
gender roles, sexual harassment, cases of rape, everything has one thing in common, silence. people don't talk about it.
