Brava to @Gourayy for hitting back and so powerfully! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Women's bodies are not dissection grounds or commentary sections---and the way in which women artists are "consumed" for voyeuristic purposes by the media (or the public) has to be called out.

Why would a 22-year-old woman in Trichy go into a secluded forest and burn herself to death? Such absurdity is cover up for incompetence and shows how frivolously the police machinery behaves when it comes to women's lives and safety. https://t.co/FgPeMrJZSp

I think every woman hits that season where she’s not angry anymore, just aware. You see people clearly. You move differently. You don’t explain.. you just shift. That’s maturity mixed with grace.
