Social media have become a weapon, platform or saviour. People have become so addicted that their daily lives revolve around TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, Twitter or whatever other social media sites there are out there. So much so that I am beginning to wonder, does anybody wear clothing anymore? No, like really, do they?
Have you
ever noticed the videos when going through Youtube shorts? Most are usually women teaching you how to
get a rich man, the 'buss it challenges', the 'bugs bunny challenge'. Other
times of women just being naked or half-naked for no valid reason. Where are
our morals and values heading? Where is the modesty?
Do you
remember the days where your mother would always make you wear a jacket or
cardigan to cover yourself? What about if you were wearing a short skirt, you
would always have to wear tights or, as the Americans would say, 'knickers'
underneath? Why is it normalised to be naked? We say, "It is my body. I should
wear what I want," but get offended when someone looks at you? Where is
the logic? Is nothing private or sacred anymore?
Now do not
get me wrong. I am not bashing women, just stating my observations. Women
complain a lot, the me-too movement, the feminists and the men bashers. Think
of it, a man will be charged for indecent exposure if he walks out of his home
with just his underwear. However, a woman can walk around with a see-through
dress and call it fashion? are you kidding me? It is ok to feel up a male,
comment on how good he looks in his pants, play with his hair, force yourself
on him, but it's labelled as sexual assault or offensive when he does the same?
How is that fair?
Life is
not fair, I know, but when will we take responsibility for our actions. We want
to be treated equal, but only in some circumstances. We want to be like queens,
but we treat others like servants. A question I heard I found very interesting.
If you were a young lady/ man dating your son /daughter, would you be satisfied
with what you got? Something to ponder upon. Thinking about the answer to that
question, I guarantee a majority of you would say no. Let's do better.
Let me know your take on this post.
