89. Which actress has written this open letter, who made her
acting debut with the 2009 film Madholal Keep Walking?
Excerpts from the article to follow:
90. โWomen are not only walking talking vaginas.
Yes, women have vaginas, but they have more to them as
well. So their whole life need not be focused on the vagina,
and controlling it, protecting it, maintaining itโs purity.
(Maybe in the 13th century that was the case, but in the 21st
century we do not need to subscribe to these limiting ideas.
We certainly do not need to glorify them. )
It would be nice if the vaginas are respected; but in the
unfortunate case that they are not, a woman can continue to
live. She need not be punished with death, because another
person disrespected her vagina without her consent.
There is life outside the vagina, and so there can be life after
rape. (I know I repeat, but this point can never be stressed
enough.)
In general there is more to life than the vagina.โ
