''By
the
time
I
was
in
my
early
teenage
years,
I
had
grown
accustomed
to
a
certain
amount
of
attention.
Whether
it
was
thanks
to
the
family
I
was
in,
or
whether
it
was
just
because
of
"the
way
I
am."

''Ever
since
I
was
a
child,
I
have
been
allowed
to
make
my
own
choices,
responsibly.
I
was
never
policed
when
it
came
to
how
I
should
dress
or
behave.''

''When
you
get
attention,
you
get
a
good
amount
of
hate,
coupled
with
a
good
amount
of
love.
It
balances
it
out,
and
more
often
than
not,
the
love
outweighs
the
hate
and
produces
a
very
positive
canvas
for
me
to
paint
my
life
on.''

''I
never
objected
or
shied
away
from
the
attention
I
got,
and
I
continued
to
stay
true
to
myself.
As
my
social
media
reach
grew,
I
began
noticing
fights
breaking
out
on
my
instagram
photos.''

''I
made
it
a
point
to
thank
them
and
block
anyone
that
spread
any
kind
of
negativity.
I
always
ignored
it
and
moved
on.''

"
I
am
more
than
my
b****ts
and
it
is
unfair
to
let
them
define
me.
I
am
an
eighteen
year
old
Indian
girl
and
that
does
not
take
away
the
fact
that
I
am
allowed
to
dress
the
way
I
please.''

Bikini
''I
wouldn't
judge
or
disrespect
a
woman
in
a
burkha,
salwaar
kameez
or
sari,
and
I
deserve
the
same
respect
back.
it
is
unfair
to
s**ualise
me
and
base
my
morals,
my
achievements
and
my
goals
and
ambitions
on
my
b****ts.''

''If
I
choose
to
wear
a
bikini,
it
is
my
choice
and
it
is
about
time
we
grow
up
and
let
individuals
be
their
own
people
without
fearing
what
society
will
say.''

''What
are
we
as
women
if
we
can't
empower
each
other?
If
we,
as
women
are
going
to
turn
around
and
pass
judgement
on
another
individual's
life
choices,
we
are
allowing
the
s**ualization
of
women.''

''We
are
more
and
we
deserve
more.
I
am
more
and
I
deserve
more.
As
a
man,
when
your
wife
is
scared
to
walk
down
the
road
at
night,
or
you're
hesitant
to
let
your
daughters
or
sisters
go
somewhere
alone,
you
perpetuated
that.
You
allowed
that
to
happen.''

''When
you
curse
at
men
for
unforgivable
crimes
like
rape,
you
have
contributed
to
a
mindset
that
makes
it
morally
ambiguous.''

''It's
a
strange
world
we
live
in
where
wearing
a
bikini
is
more
frowned
upon
than
being
hateful
and
tearing
another
individual
down.
It
is
not
okay
to
hate.''
