Everyone of you must be having a social media account. At least one. Y’all know how women celebrate women empowerment isn’t it?
There are many out here too who must have participated in such challenges. #SareeChallenge #Black&WhitePicChallenge etc etc.
Dear women, can y’all tell me what is so challenging about the challenge? Are y’all retards?
These challenges spread like wildfire and every stupid female uploaded a pic of them and then tagged their own gang to follow suit. Is this empowering? Yes? How? Tell me.
Many of y’all uploaded posts about Sushant Singh Rajput coz it affected y’all. How did the rape not affect any woman? Why hasn’t any woman posted about the MULTIPLE GANG RAPES happening in UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA?
How is everyone all of a sudden blind about what happened in Hathras, UP? Why are the women not blogging about this but felt immense pain when SSR died? You writing about SSR isn’t wrong but why no post about RAPE? Why the hushh hushh?
Why isn’t this viral? Why are y’all quiet when shit happens to women? Why this fake feminism? Why aren’t you talking about how the body of the girl was burnt late night at 2 by the cops and the Government to dispose all evidences? Why nobody is allowed to meet the family of the girl? Whyyyy is this not affecting you? Why have you not posted about it but actively post about other things happening around? Why an actor’s death affected you that you went on to social media to share your pain but became deaf, blind and turned feelingless when a woman was gang-raped? Why no posts, no blogs??? Why no expression of pain anywhere?
Ashamed to speak about it coz it represents your country in bad light or is it that we only do sex but don’t wanna talk about it? Coz y’all think the world is blind and they don’t know about the uncontrollable libido the country’s citizens have with such a huge population. Kids are dropped from heavens above, isn’t it? We do not engage in sexual intercourse. Not at all! Correct?
WHY IS THIS 👇 NOT TRENDING ON ANY SOCIAL MEDIA BY WOMEN?
GANG RAPE IN HATHRAS, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA
How long will y’all pretend to be a fake feminist? Feminism is not about tagging your own girl gang. It’s beyond that. It’s about being happy for your enemy’s success coz she did it on her own. It’s about standing for every woman’s right. It’s about not letting anyone do shit to us.
Stop doing things for social media attention. Do beyond.
It’s the women who need to make these things viral and not stupid social media trends. No, that’s not empowering! Use your brain if you have one. It could be any one of us tomorrow. Where is your voice? Raise it for the right things.
Dear women, if you want to challenge anything, challenge the Government, the society. Not your own kitty party friends.
Get a brain if you haven’t got one. Speak what you got to speak. Follow trends which are really empowering. Don’t make a joke of the whole women fraternity. You need to speak up. Make every injustice done to us viral. This is what should be trending like wildfire. Ask the Government and the society to do you right.
Can we challenge ourselves to make the horrifying rape viral, speak-up about every brutality and injustice done to us? Take challenges which are indeed challenging and be bold enough to speak for our rights on social media and elsewhere?
I am ashamed to be a woman coz you women are fake! Y’all don’t speak on the things you should. If not us, who will? Y’all pay heed to things you shouldn’t and name it empowering. Please open your eyes and raise your voice. It’s high time!
I challenge you to stand for your rights! Participate in voicing out about the crimes done to every woman on social media and elsewhere. Are you woman enough to take this challenge?
IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

It’s completely fine to have a place for yourself. What is not fine is, talking about all the other things affecting you and keeping your mouth shut when you should really speakup. I’ve seen a lot of women and men… especially women posting about SSR here on WP but haven’t even posted a word about the rape. I wonder why the silence?
Also, it is not about just social media, we need to speak for ourselves off social media too.

I differ to agree on the latter half. There are many who are affected but too picky on topics. Coz some find shame in talking about it, some know it won’t grab the attention they’re seeking for, some are just down right selfish.
And yeah, it’s okay to be neutral. I have a few friends who feel bad, get angry but don’t really get into a conversatiom in the open. The problem lies with people who only do stuff for social media attention and call it for the good. Moreover if all of us turn neutral, you know where it’ll lead.

It’s not about just this rape. We as women need to be proactive in raising voices against all crimes especially about women. We be swift in participating in senseless social media trends/challenges and call it empowering by tagging our own girl gang and then become blind to such crimes. What sense does it make?

It truly is. Feminism is not about challenges and trends. It’s about raising our voices against all crimes which happen to every single person, even men. And yes not just rape. Domestic violence is so prevalent, in every three minutes at least one woman suffers from it. If social media does promote freedom of speech, why aren’t we opening up about the right things when we can?! Why freely express trends and challenges and not the injustice which runs in our system so evidently.

I agree with you about those dumb challenges.
As I always believe, if men are responsible for rapes or whatever happening, women are also equally responsible, as they always think themselves weak, and never raise a voice, it is thinking that is we can’t do anything, causing more harm.
I directly or indirectly too talk about it in my posts.

This is trending everywhere Isnt it? so many posting about it. Change.org is full of it. I have signed 5 or more. I’m not on fb so not sure about that.
But I would prefer change.org rather than posting here.
But regarding his suicide, I would prefer to post it here. It was his personal choice. A thing he did on himself consciously. (Let’s keep aside the drug thing, I’m talking about suicide bit)
But overall, it’s two very different issues at the base level I feel.
A post on Justice for Sushant and justice for rape victims would be at the same level. Donno if I conveyed my point right..

I am just talking about my observations ober social media that includes WP too. I haven’t seen a soul speaking about it. I am not sure if you were on WP when SSR news went viral. There was a lot of outrage and sadness here as well which is missing now.
Also, I am in no way talking about the drug or his suicide. It’s just about the silence on one topic and not on the other.
And if you’re aware whatever happened in SSR’s case was mainly due to it trending on social media. Social media is a weapon and we must use it for justice on every issue is what I mean to.
It’s great that you’re a part of change.org but not all do their bit.

I would post on SSR and depression here on WP as it’s completely personal. It was his decision to kill himself and that needs a different kind of awareness. I use this blog in a different way.

Hmmm… My whole point is to be vocal on platforms and elsewhere too. I agree both issues are different. As you said you’ve contributed through change.org, there are many who are just selective. I mean, it’s always a hush hush on such topics per my observation.

Just like I stated in one of my conversation with you, social media is a powerful weapon and so are NGOs and other organizations working on these issues but most of us don’t do anything at all.

Another thought provoking post, mega kudos to you.
It is okay to be neutral on some things, for instance, I prefer indigo over periwinkle. Ok, no problem, whatever.
Neutrality is never okay when it comes to injustice.
Neutrality in the face of injustice implies acceptance, so long as the injustice doesn’t gets too close to me.
One problem with that line of thinking is that when the injustice occurs to you, you wonder why no one seems to care, but they do “care”, they are remaining neutral.
The problems of injustice can never be overcome if we don’t point it out, identify it, then band together, shout from the rooftops and fight to conquer them.
You Bold Girl are very appreciated.

Thanks a ton for sharing this post, BG. This is something that must be brought to everyone’s notice immediately, not those catty challenges!
Sometimes, it’s completely okay to stay neutral in certain situations. Pseudo-feminism has not only botched the name of feminism, but has also completely ruined it’s main purpose. It just pains me to see women not raising their voices on such horrific cases, and I’m also disappointed at the fact that people’s mentality on such cases is always stuck on the “blame the victim” path (it’s just NOT fair to keep blaming them for each and every thing).
If we call ourselves the most developed species on the planet, why did our behaviour and mentality undergo retrogressive metamorphosis? It’s almost as if we’re primitive/uncivilized beings living in a mechanized world. (Did this last part make any sense, though?)

Thanks for sharing your views on this, SS. That’s a fact that the feminism has lost its meaning long ago. Moreover these stupid challenges are being circulated and participated in at lightning speed. But, when something really empowering is done by another woman or when women beed to raise their voices, they keep silent.
How can one upload a pic and then tag their own friends and family members be termed as women empowerment? What kind of crowd is this? Why do women participate in cheap thrills and do not do anything which in actually thrilling? Do they really have a brain? Why are people so blind and selfish for likes and attention?😶😶

Honestly, I think such challenges arise from the fact that they’re trying to be “trend setters” or they just want attention. That seems to be some logical reasons for it, I guess.
Moreover, shouldn’t women empowerment be supporting women in all kinds of situations and actually making an effort to bring about a change? To be honest, even the #MeToo movement is starting to lose it’s purpose as well (due to all the false allegations and other stuff) 🤦🏽♀️
