Body shaming

Amanda Bingson

Today I want to talk about body shaming. What's the first thought you get when you look at this woman. Most people are going to say nasty things when they themselves ain't perfect or even remotely near to perfection. This beautiful lady is Amanda Bingson, the American athlete, who is specialists in hammer throw and absolutely loves herself and her body. I see a POWERHOUSE within her!!! What a strong woman!!! She is more strong and famous than an average human yet haters will talk shit based on appearance. I wish we open our eyes and be less critical and judgmental.

Great effort by @espn to bring out the body issue this 2015. Absolutely loved it and more power to them! ATHLETES COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES job well done

Gender Equality: Must Read

What are some common forms of sexism that men face?

I have a female friend, aged 26.
She is being forced by her parents to meet some guys and get married.
We had this conversation at a coffee table:
She : Oh! my parents. They want me to get married.
Me : Ya..this happens in India with every girl who turns 25
She : Why girls? You are of my age. Are your parents forcing you for marriage?
Me : No. Not yet. I think they will do in a couple of years
She: Exactly. I too want to get married after a couple of years. I have some career plans, want to travel like you and do lot of things before I get married.
Me : That’s nice. Try convincing your parents once.
She : I can't understand my parents! They are so orthodox. I mean..we all talk about gender equality..and this is how our previous generation thinks! Kuch nahi ho sakta is desh ka (Nothing good can happen in this country). You boys have all the privilege. I hate this system.
Me : Hmm..anyway did you like the last guy you met?
She : No.
Me : Why?
She : (Chuckles) Utna to main kamaati hoon. (I earn almost equal). The guy I will marry should earn more than me and should be more intelligent. In the end, these are basic requirements.
Me : Oh...I thought we were talking about equality!

End of conversation. :P :P
