    Indian society is nuts:

    She has been ostracised by neighbours in the community she has lived in for 40 years.

    “As of today, I have no friends. It’s just me I guess,” she says with a sad chuckle.

    Some of her family still don’t speak to her. And she constantly wonders whether the men she works with are picturing her naked.

    A picture of your head photoshopped on some chick’s body? Why is that embarrassing for anyone over the age of 13? I would just assume they were hacked. It’s embarrassing for whoever sent it.

      Sadly common worldview among societies with “culture and history”. Ironically this culture of monogamy and being so sexually prude is a result of Western colonisation. These are Christian ideals, not necessarily the ideals of Buddhism or Hinduism (Remember Temples of Kama Sutra, anyone?). While the colonies have stuck with 1800s, the colonisers have moved on.
