Sexism in the viral social media motivational quotes

Sexism in the viral social media motivational quotes


My Sri Lankan Version *
Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.� ? Charles Chaplin.

The above is a message circulated as a viral image by many in Facebook. The message comes written on top of a considerably attractive female, subtly sexualized and directing this advice towards the female members of the network.

As pointed out by many, your body belongs to you; not to anyone else. Nevertheless, just to balance, I have  composed and released this image, which is a Sri Lankan and less sexist version of the original post.

The original viral image

We have a long way to go, to grow up and overcome this imbalance.
