It is a story of just some decades ago. The West used to declare vulgar women and girls as:

1. Prostitutes
2. Minx
3. concubines
4. pervert
5. misbegotten
6. strumpets
7. whores
8. Hookers
9. coquettes
10. floozy
11. courtesans
12. mistress
13. cohabitee
14. paramour
15. Minx
16. Pimp
17. incestuous
18. hussy

The words were inserted by them right in their dictionaries to highlight the hate people had against them, meaning to say that West too used to value some human ethics then.

There were also some nice words affiliated with them, like:

1. Chastity
2. Virginity
3. Modesty
4. Piety

But now the scenario has changed altogether. Western society has withdrawn from labeling such nice words to their ladies. It now adversely awards the following attractive titles to these vice-character women:

1. Celebrities
2. Babes
3. Call Girls
4. Blondes
5. Stars
6. Models
7. Dolls
8. Feminists
9. Quean
10. Sex-workers

Unluckily the nice words highlighted above have lost their values and significance. So in my opinion, there remains only one single virgin now ie, Mary, the above one in the Christian Western world. Otherwise probably no virginity exists practically in the West, I am sorry to say so!

Though condemnable, yet they are proclaimed as “Models” (for the world perhaps),and though they expose their bodies without shame for want of status and  monetary benefits, they are proclaimed the “Stars”(of the sky perhaps).

How the circumstances have remodeled and how the Western ethics have reversed through decades! Alas that the praiseworthy quality of ‘chastity’ has lost its significance in this modern scientific world!

Earlier we used to speak for them in Urdu also like:

1. Tawa’ef
2. Kanjri
3. Fa’hesha
4. Chhinaal
5. Randi
6. Aawara
7. Daashta
8. Harami

But all such ugly terms have lost their weight in Urdu as well.
