A Woman Deserves What she has - Love isn't about owning bodies
I came across this picture of a curvy woman, Jenna Kutcher and her trainer, 6 packs flaunting husband of 11 years, Drew and thought, what a lovely couple and picture. And, here's what we Indians can learn from them.
- A physically less than perfect woman (I think Jenna is beautiful and perfect the way she is, but lentils would not hesitate to differ) can have a physically perfect husband. There's more to love and marriage than physical beauty. Jenna is currently being criticised for having a husband as trim as Drew - just because she's on the heavier side. Trump being Trump having Melania, no one bats an eye. We Indians have this prejudice on a larger scale. If a woman is darker/heavier than her husband/bf than all smelly mouths will start talking. The opposite, no one hardly says anything. There's nothing wrong in being dark, heavy, small, petite, etc. It's human diversity. Don't box beauty. Embrace.
- A woman's body isn't her husband's property and neither does family honour lie in a woman's body. Just like Drew can show off his body, his wife can too. He doesn't own her. She owns herself and he respects that fact. That's the purest form of love - he's secure of her love and she is secure of his. Many lentils have been condemning Samantha Ruth Prabu's bikini pic - asking is she even aware that she's married and telling that she's shaming the Akinneni family. Surya shows off his six packs, Prasanna too in Thiruttu Payale 2, no such shame or honour shit are stirred up.
Learn that a woman has the autonomy over her body just like a man - her body isn't owned by anyone and no, it's not to be shown only to her husband.

- Have a heart. Don't be so judgmental especially towards women if they have what you think they shouldn't have and do what they shouldn't do. Anything is ok as long as it doesn't harm others and the environment and not unlawful. When dealing with adults, give the power of responsibility to them. There is a good reason why we are given the power to choose the government when we hit 18/21. Of course, awareness must be imparted - that helps all of us be better adults.
- Accept and love yourself. Then only you can love others. Don't pull others down. Lift them up.
