TV actress Sayantani Ghosh was in an Instagram live session lately. There she was thrown open to a disgusting situation by a bully who asked her bra size. While she shut the troll up, it made her keen to share a long post on social media about body shaming and more. She wrote about the obsession with breasts, self-love and how males have made her feel uncomfortable on some occasions.
Sayantani Ghosh Gives a Befitting Reply to a Bully asking her Bra Size
“Yesterday in one of my interactive sessions someone asked me my bra size! Though I gave the person a befitting reply (which btw a lot of you appreciated) still I felt there is so much more I want to talk about.. Any form of BODY SHAMING is BAD!! Period. But particularly, I struggle to wrap my head around the fact that what is this fascination towards female BREASTS ?? As to what size it is ?? A cup, B, C or D etc ?? And it’s not only the boys, but even us girls also have this sort of conditioning!” she wrote.
The actress wrote that she couldn’t fathom the hype around breasts. “There are few parts to such mental conditioning. 1: Why is it so difficult to accept that it’s just another body part?? I know it has meaning when it comes to a nursing mother or certain purposes of passion, but in the end, isn’t it another body part ??? What we don’t realise is that such perspectives or hype over the female breast, throw few of us women, in fact, most women get into a very f**ked up headspace!” she wrote.
Sayantani wrote about self-love, “2: Where is the concept of Self- acceptance and Self-love ?? Few of us who are well-endowed start feeling conscious about it, and start hoping that ‘I wish I was flat or small chested’ and few of us feel the need for implants!!! Remember those times when you went to buy a nice pair of dress and the only reason you didn’t buy it because either your breasts looked too small or big in them?? It’s like we are never good enough !! We are so uncomfortable even talking about it!!”
“3: IT’S TIME TO STOP The next part of my thoughts is, who gives such rights to men?? Why do men feel that you are entitled to look at a woman this way or talk to her this way?? Maybe it’s us ..yes girls it is us for tolerating this sh*t and not speaking up! Often we shy away from facing these men due to a feeling of shame, or avoiding such points so that we don’t create a scene and the list of reasons can go on… I too have kept quiet so many times feeling uncomfortable when I saw a man staring at my breasts!!” she added.
