![]() I suppose that the guy thought that the pic sufficed for everything else, that sending a picture of his genitalia was all that he needed and all that a woman needed and that there was no need of words or any prelude, that thrusting it right into somebody’s face was okay. And there it was, the grandest of them all, the DM to end all DMs, a “dick pic,” as we millennials call it, sent most nonchalantly sans any hi or bye. Paul wants to send you a message,” Instagram told me. I still thought I could tolerate it.Īnd then I received the DM that caught me off guard and alarm bells started ringing. After a week, I had received close to 1800 follow requests on Instagram. However, it was just the beginning, and it got worse. I reported a few of those accounts and left it at that. I did an interview with the awesome and □ Check out the link: ġ,465 Likes, 16 Comments – Devi on Instagram: “I did an interview with the awesome and □ Check out the link:…” there was this gentleman who had the balls to ask “Hey, can we cuddle?”Īll of this because Devi has decided to be extra nice to me and mentioned my name along with her article details on her Insta feed. ![]() It was that day that I realised the real meaning of the expression “sliding in the DMs.”Ī couple of random dudes wanted to say “hey,” some took it a notch further and wrote, “You der,” and some thought I’d be glad to see a random “Hey gorgeous.” Also. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to read the messages that I received. Given that I have a private account and had done nothing of the sort that made me that important or famous, I kinda knew what was happening.Īfter a while I realised that apart from the follow requests, there were also some message requests. I opened my Instagram a couple of hours after the article went live and I was flabbergasted to realise that I had received over 300 follow requests in those two hours. I was happy with how the interview turned out and content with the fact that I was able to make a good case for Devi and the article would help us raise some awareness about how female sexuality is constantly suppressed and misjudged. The conversation also ventured to the topic of online trolls and how she’s often at the receiving end of indecent overtures from random men on social media. To cut it short, it was an intellectually stimulating conversation, where Devi made some really good points which left me admiring her intelligence. On November 13 this year, I interviewed Devi, a nude art model. A lot of our discourse revolved around how she aimed to impact a revolution on female sexuality through her art and how she wanted to free the female body from the constant sexualizing that it goes through, whether naked or covered. What kind of a reaction would you expect when you write an article for social change, creating awareness about female sexuality? Praise? Recognition? Probably some backlash from the patriarchal sections? A month ago, I wrote an article on female sexuality in India and I received a dick pic in response!
