#ELLEOpinion: It’s 1966. On the stands is a Filmfare magazine- on the cover is Sharmila Tagore in a bikini. It causes quite a furore, and in an interview, Sharmila Tagore says even the photographer was skeptical about shooting her in a two piece, often asking her to cover up. The reaction to the cover ranged from shock to disgust. Today, you would think a bikini picture would have no one even batting an eyelid. You would be wrong. 56 years later, we continue to be offended by women and their clothing choices. We are talking about this today because just recently news about a professor in a Kolkata university being asked to resign for posting “objectionable” pictures on her private Instagram account is making the rounds. Yes, a woman professor was forced to quit her job in St Xavier’s University because one man was offended by the pictures she posted on her social media. The pictures were found by this man’s son and he was looking at them. Mukesh Khanna comes on to our feed telling men everywhere that women should not show sexual desire. Where do men find the audacity? Head to the 🔗 in bio to read our opinion piece
