I Have Been Thinking About This And Realised That We Don't Actually Have A Deva Or Devi For Beauty. People

I have been thinking about this and realised that we don't actually have a deva or devi for beauty. People think it is Mata Lakshmi but it's not true. None of her Ashtalakshmi forms also have her represent beauty. Mata

The sibling pairs have different skin colours — Vishnu-Parvati are dark skinned, Shiv-Saraswati are fair skinned, Brahma-Lakshmi are golden skinned — and all of them are called beautiful.

So where does this concept of beauty even come from? That fair is beautiful and dark skinned is not? Does it come from the west? From goddesses like Aphrodite, Venus or Freya? Or were they also made to represent beauty in the modern world to suit white people's beauty standards?

everyone who supports a rapist or is a rapist himself is a threat to women. these ppl are sick in the head. you won't believe me when i say this but they don't even respect our goddesses and create their own communities on reddit where they masterbate to their images or abuse many girls....this is their way of showing how much they disrespect us...the way guys talk about women is traumatizing

this just makes me more sick. abhi bhi ghamand hai apne gender pe??? im asking all the men here who are still quiet

A dude in India committed suicide recently because of alimony issues and the country is up in flames because of "gendered laws" where women are the only ones getting alimony (not true) can file false cases any time they like (not true, burden of proof is harsh) and get men put in jail and murdered all the time (also not true).

Every single day, around 20 women are killed (that we know of) for dowry related issues in this country. 85+ women are sexually assaulted every single day. Almost 8 MILLION girls under the age of 10 (TEN) are married in this country. But sure, one dude killing himself means Sharia law needs to be brought and whatever bullshit.

Death to 90% Indian men I swear. That's the only way for the country to have a chance at making it out of the hellhole we're in.

Pakistan admits to it’s role in the Pulwama terror attack. Calls it “tactical brilliance”.

They’re completely mask off now, any Pakistani who hereafter tries to deny, gaslight and lie about Pakistan’s role in terrorism on Indian soil is admitting to being an accomplice to this terrorist state’s crimes.

This is a call out post. This is not coming from a feminist, but a Hindu.

True Hinduism gives equal respect to feminine and masculine energies.

So, men, you need to evaluate how you view women while claiming you're a Hindu.

How can you call yourself a Hindu while calling women names, while making and laughing at gr*pe jokes, while turning a blind eye to assault?

What are you even doing? You chant "Jai Shri Ram" and use the same vocal cords to hurl a slur at a woman you all have collectively demonized. You comment gr*pe threats under a woman's post like you’re above consequences.

And since I mentioned Shri Ram, let me remind you:

He continued to treat Surpanakha with respect, continued addressing her as "devi", even after she expressed her desire to kill Mata Sita so that she gets to marry Shri Ram. Even after she crossed every line of maryada.

He didn’t degrade her, didn’t mock her.

What would he think of you now?

You add sanskrit shlokas in your bio, but your comment history drips with filth. You bow at Mata Durga’s feet during Navratri, then talk about women’s bodies in a degrading manner.

This isn’t Hinduism. This is *misogyny wrapped in saffron*.

You're so desperate to not associate with what Islam or other Abrahmic religions stand for. And yet you're an equal part of the misogyny that they perpetuate on women everywhere in India.

Take out some time and really think about it. Are you a true Hindu or is it just for social media?

Are you really ready to fight adharma? Do you not know that for any fight with Adharma you want to win, you'd need the feminine energy on your side, by your side, and at times have them lead you. Our ancient texts, our folklore, our puranas are evidence for it.
