May,25,2016:
Disappointed over a sexist listicle done by a Hindi daily Bhaskar, titled “10 Most Beautiful IAS and IPS Officers In India”, Merin Joseph, Assistant Superintendent of Police of Munnar, Kerala, has protested with Facebook to share her anguish.
She reasoned that why we never come across a list of the most handsome males in the IAS and IPS? or like.
In her Facebook post now viral on social media sites she has blamed Indian Media and Press, for their role in objectification of women.
She objected as how can you measure self-worth of a woman from her looks.
“All the Women Officers mentioned in the List are bold and brave officers working in the complex Indian bureaucratic system, surviving through the good , bad and ugly body politic, but these officers are shortlisted for people can ogle at,” she strongly objects.
One comment reads,'Woman’s beauty is her intellect not face value'.
