Probably you know the woman in the picture.


She is Merin Joseph. She became the youngest IPS officer in the Kerala cadre at 25 years.


Now that's an achievement that deserves a standing ovation. But, some media sites were more interested in her beauty.


Her photos became viral on the internet as the most beautiful IPS Officer. Her achievements were neglected. Her body was praised.


What is the most frustrating thing about being a woman?


If you are a woman, your achievements would be buried under the beauty of your body.


Did you score very well in internals being a good looking girl?

People say, “Ohh, you did that because you are beautiful”.


Are you a pretty girl with thousands of followers on Quora?

People say, “Ohh, you achieved that because of your profile picture”.


Are you a pretty lady and a CEO of a company?

People say, “Ohh, you are given that position because you are beautiful”.


Are you a gorgeous talented actress?

People say, “Ohh, you were given that break in the movie because you are gorgeous”.


And there's something worse than this.


People would go on saying, “She became the CEO because she must have slept with the board of directors.”


They won't mind accusing a gorgeous actress of sleeping with producers or directors to get a break in the film industry.


This never ends. This has happened for years and will continue to happen forever.
