A counter to extreme feminism
Does nudity mean bringing gender equality? If all girls go nude will the gender inequality disappear? Why not! May be it's your choice to go nude but Coming across certain feminists who demand desexualization of women by asking them to post their nude pictures, as if the audience will perceive it the way we want! Yes, I am talking about feminists 'naqvi Sarah, priyanka Paul and Saloni chopra', they portray feminism through their art work and are all popular feminists on Instagram.
But what they do and ask others to do, is it actually the need of the hour? And do they themselves go nude? In a country like India where women cannot go to Temple during their periods, these girls ask them to go nude in temples and churches. Do they go nude to churches? Is this the extreme need of our country right now or is it to focus on prevention of sexual harassment and rape first.
Their goal is to make people understand that breasts are just a piece of flesh and bra is just a piece of cloth. But are Indians ready to understand these extremities because if you check their Instagram accounts, where they post a picture of naked breasts and caption that consider it simply as a body part and not sexualize it and still there are morons commenting 'so sexy', because the audience doesn't perceive it the way she wants. Is nudity the solution of all problems? And what about women who themselves try to sexualize their body and promote objectification as a tool to live with ease and privileges.
And again those artworks of nude women and godesses don't bring any change because it is limited to their followers who have already accepted women the way they are and willingly appreciate such open discussions. But does it influence any one else except those repetitive followers or does it reach to people who actually sexualize women and need to see these paintings, embroidery and art work and change their mindsets?
As in India our goals right now are that women should equally enjoy the right to education & right to work the way men do. We are yet in the primitive layers of bringing equality in the country. A men forgiven and accepted socially if he has extra marital affair with another woman and a woman to stay pure forever whereas this should be implied for both to stay loyal! Or a woman to have the right to marry someone after a divorce! A woman is best in the kitchen or say a woman's life should revolve around taking care of the family reproducing and rearing babies! She definitely should know cooking not with the ideology that it is necessary to know cooking so that you can survive independent or it is a skill you need in life but training with the ideology that if you don't know cooking your laws won't accept you.
Absolutely it is your complete choice to show skin the way you like to and for sure if it makes you feel empowered. But not with an idea to sexualize yourself because I've seen people who talk about feminism, struggle of women and global issues but at the same time comment on her if the strap of her bra is visible.
Let's first focus on primary goals in context to India that is to enjoy atleast basic rights equally for both men and women and looking forward to safety and prevention of sexual harassment, rape, marital rape, domestic violence. Even very well developed countries are in the debate of whether women should go nude or not, keeping in mind the consequences to this liberty. Yes, even we will achieve this phase later. Let us atleast stand for women and think rationally before longing for extremity.
