On March 2, a user on Twitter listed five pointers for being a high-value woman. The list included,
- BMI (body mass index) less than 23
- You can make at least three delicious meals from scratch
- You can hold an interesting conversation on any topic
- Children, animals and old people trust you
- You are not on birth control, weed or SSRIs or any drugs
As soon as the tweet went viral, people started pouring comments. Replying to one of the users, Megha said that women everywhere are outraged at reasonable standards and that whatever pointers she had listed were all achievable targets. “No one said you have to be high quality if you don’t want to, you can be a goblin living under a bridge, there is another list for that,” she added.
How to know if you are a high value woman:

- BMI less than 23
- You can make at least three delicious meals from scratch
- You can hold an interesting conversation on any topic
- Children, animals and old people trust you
- You are not on Birth control, weed or SSRIs or any drugs
In another comment, she wrote that the list would have been less spicy had she written “must be 5’7” supermodel who never ages past 25”. She said it would have been easier to discredit superficial and unrealistic criteria for the feminists, so they are less threatened by it.
The woman has been posting these blatant remarks for being a good woman for quite some time now. In 2023, we have many like her who still have a definition of a ‘good woman’ and wish to teach the world about it.
However, we believe that the definition of a high-value woman is one who lives her life by her rules. It surely does not depend on her weight, culinary skills, her chemistry with kids or old people and her choice to have a baby, not to have one or when to have one.
Our definition of a good woman is
Fierce & Independent
A high-value woman is a free-spirited person who is fierce and independent. The woman who has individuality and leads her life by her rules. She does not think about what society thinks of her or how it wants to direct her life.
Accepts Herself
A high-value woman knows her worth, accepts her body graciously and is outspoken. Unlike a liquid, she does not take the shape of a container but breaks free to carve her path and shatters the glass ceiling to reach new heights.
Leads Others
A good woman is not one who follows patriarchy (internalised patriarchy we engage in without noticing) but one who challenges it at every step of her life. She constantly fights misogyny and gives it back to people who try to pin her down or confine her into the four walls of a household.
She leads others to break free from the grips of old norms. She becomes an example to whom the young generation looks up.

Proud Of Herself
A high-value woman takes pride in what she does and who she is. She might question herself, and feel vulnerable at the time, but she knows how to pick herself up after the moment has passed. She is proud of not being the ‘good girl society wants her to be.

My Life, My Rules
A good woman has a list of rules that she swears by to lead her life. She does not let any neighbourhood aunty or uncle put their nose in her business. She knows what is right for her body.

A high-value woman is aware of contraceptives (everything to know about oral contraceptive pills). She knows that sex is all about pleasure and enjoyment and less about conceiving the heir of the family. She is a feminist who believes in and treats everyone equally.
