There
is a plain absurd trend in buzz, which is too tangy to bite and gulp down all
in one breath. The reason it is too absurd is why I was compelled to take up
for a long rant. The social media, where unless we are active people won’t
believe we are alive, has actually become a battleground for people to show how
they stand out. In this mad struggle, they have started choosing roads which
are one-way and have no rules for treading whatsoever.
The
new trend of reveling in calling oneself a ‘bitch’ seems inexplicable under
every circumstance. So, you see pictures of girls pouting, posing weird and
putting on a virtual gothic aura, trying to look like a rebel who must have
done something extremely weird, calling themselves ‘bitches’. So, these new age
bitches feel it is some sort of honor they have given themselves, something
which makes them shine out from the crowd, giving them a distinct identity.
Mind
you, this road is all one-way, for this passes like a breeze only till
they use this cussword for themselves. They tend to make huge hue and cry out
of situations where they are apparently called the same by people around them;
for instance, strangers they bump into, hawkers they keep haggling with,
drivers whose cars they keep ramming, guards who they demean or their parents,
for that matter, who they don’t budge before misbehaving with. Under all these contexts,
the cuss injures their ego to the point they are compelled to fill their eyes
to the brim with kohl and then cry it all out. In fact, this whole drama is
also accompanied by situational roleplaying of 'I-was-abused' that it takes days for them to get back
to their usual ‘I-am-still-a-bitch’ self.
Call
it generation gap or that I have passed the age to tune out any bullshit, I
simply don’t get why wouldn’t one call herself a slut, for that matter, if it
does no derogation to her image or reputation?
