Prostitution | Stand-up Comedy by Vidushi Swaroop

Way before trolls were a thing, while growing up, I was quite often called ‘randi’. This tag used to terrify me.
I used to do everything in my capacity to be a good girl and hoped that nobody would associate me with this tag. I tried to follow all the rules so that nobody would ever slut-shame me. Then one day, I stopped when I realized it is way better to be a 'randi' instead of always living in this constant fear and guilt of never upsetting society. It's a constant state of awe.
I realized that they call every woman who is unapologetically herself a 'prostitute.' But hey, what's wrong with being a prostitute? Anyway, we are all selling some parts of ourselves, from emotions to trauma, jokes to tragedy, and anger. So what's so wrong about selling your body? This is where we draw the line and treat this profession as a derogatory term to humiliate women. Prostitutes are exploiting the exploitation, and there is nothing more beautiful than that. Being a good girl catering to ridiculous norms is scary and turns out, there's no need to be petrified of being called a slut or 'randi' or whatever, because it's not an insult. Randi is not a gaali.
I am a proud 'randi,' and I own it ❤️

Truly said. “Prostitute” word these days is just used to pull down the woman who is succeeding, who has opinion, who is bold and invincible. Hilarious or the painful thing is sometimes even a virgin get to hear that she is prostitute.

[@natures_diaries]

it does not need courage... you should hsve to check her background and pain of parents. prostitutionis considered bad not because of sex, but due to non efficient, anti social, anti humane, anti responsinle shit

As a woman, I can see the kind of deep & brutal unconditioning this stand up artist had to go through to laugh about this violent slur. I'm going to send this to everyone who feels calling a woman Randi is a slur. Its a profession and its customer base is entirely men. So who is to blame??? She is Ali Wong, Benaras version ❤
