Malayalam heroines with the support of Anashwara Rajan, who faced an obscene year on social media due to the descent of the dress he was wearing. Rima Kallingal, Ahana Krishna, Anarkali Marikar and Kani Kusruthi came to the rescue.
Rima shared on social media a picture of herself walking in a swim suit wearing a cooling glass. ‘Awesome Awesome … Women have seen feet !!’ Rima gave the mouth-watering reply of the moralists on social media with the caption:
Ahana and Anarkali protested by sharing pictures of themselves in knee-length dresses. The Anarchy Post says that our dress code is not your business. Kani’s response was to share a yoga video showing her feet. Rima’s comment on this video was that today is the day of the legs.
Posting a really nice picture of me wearing a tiny dress , showing most of my legs to take attendance of the number of creeps who will line up in attention in my comment box to post third-rate comments 🙂
2 things.
Firstly , what I wear isn’t your business. What anybody wears isn’t your business. Your business is just your business. Probably you don’t have enough of it , so you try and poke your nose into other people’s business. I will wear Shorts , Sari , Shirt or a Swim-suit .. it’s not your license to question my character. Neither is it my oppurtunity to prove my own character. So , WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS , NOT MY CLOTHES
Secondly , as far as I know .. legs , stomach , hands etc .. they are all the same, be it in the body of a man or a woman. I can’t see any difference that is so important that it justifies the difference between the kind of comments that make it to the comment box of a man in little clothes and that of a girl. If a man shows his well toned body , it’s Inspiring , Mass and Frickin’ Hot. When a girl does the same , she looks like she’s ready for Sex? She’s Shameless? She’s an Attention Seeker? She’s trying to turn people on for work?
Pick up this flamboyant display of patriarchy and discard it in the first dust-bin you can find around you.
Me posting a picture in a super short dress has only 1 meaning – I like that picture and I felt like sharing it on my own social media profile. Any other meaning that you derive out of it is nothing but a reflection of the unfortunate situation of your life and the things you lack in it.
Gross mindsets might not change way too much. But the license to publicly speak out one’s gross mindset can be shut down. Call out slut-shamers. Call out dirty patriarchy. And stop giving a damn about what a random person has to comment on your clothes. Do these 3 things and slowly but surely , creeps who want to say creepy things will be so scared to spit out the poison that they will learn to keep it within themselves.
I’d like to sum up this slightly long post with a quote I read recently on Social Media – ” Oh my favourite season will be the Fall of Patriarchy
‘What I wear is not your business. Your business is yours alone. I wear shorts like this, sari, shirt, swim suit and so on. None of you have the authority to question my character. Look at your thoughts, not my clothes, “said Ahana.
‘Women and men have the same arms, legs and abdomen. What a difference that makes. Now when a man takes off his clothes and posts a photo, it becomes inspiring and hot as a mass. But many people think that if a girl does it, it is a need for sex. She’s not shy, she’s just paying attention, that’s how the comments come about. ‘
Some people were outraged by the picture shared by Anashwara Rajan on social media as part of a photoshoot. The comments against Anashwara were full of people telling me to wait until I was eighteen or to wear low-cut clothes. However, Anashwara’s decision was not to remain silent after seeing such comments.
Immortal responded by sharing a photo of herself in the same dress again, facing much criticism. “Don’t worry about what I’m doing. If my actions bother you, try not to worry about it,” was the immortal’s reply. Many players came out in support of Anashwara’s stand. The stars’ response was to ask why you are so upset when you see women’s legs.
