Sexist 'climber' label follows women who date successful men

Sexist 'climber' label follows women who date successful men
From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men · easterneye.biz

Sometimes people say bad things about famous actresses when they date men who are richer or more powerful.

They call the women a 'climber' or a 'gold digger,' which means someone who is only with a man for his money.

This happens even when the woman has her own career and earns her own money.

Anupama Parameswaran talked about a sad relationship that hurt her mental health and her work.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu was accused of asking for an enormous amount of money after her divorce, even though the claims were not true.

Sushmita Sen said she 'digs deeper than gold' and buys her own diamonds.

Malaika Arora and Rhea Chakraborty also told people to stop making up stories about their relationships.

These women are saying that people should accept that love can be real without money being involved.

When a man dates a famous woman, nobody asks what he is getting out of it.

The actresses just want the same respect that everyone else gets.
