Needless to say there were loud voices of men who said many things and soon it became an all out debate which am sure is not going anywhere.
However, that set me thinking. It is a known fact that women in India are being abused in public transport system and are being ogled at by countless men of all ages in all places outside their home, inappropriate comments and untoward moves by men in power on subordinates and the list goes on and on.
My solitary question is , why do women have to put up with this systemic abuse quietly?
I'm sure there will be a dozen ladies who would jump at me and scream what would you know, you are a man.
Yes, I agree i cannot possibly even imagine to the smallest levels the kind of mental agony a woman goes through when she is physically or even verbally molested.
What I cannot understand and what am sure ladies will give a thousand reasons for is that why must ladies put up with this.
Why cannot they fight back and slap the guy who abuses them? Why must women be cowed down?
Without sounding overtly dramatic, I wonder, if there was to be a quiet forum of ladies who form an online portal that recruits women who formulate a guideline on how different forms of abuse can be effectively responded to in such a systemic manner.
For instance take a picture of the abuser and distribute it in the local circles so that people know when they see one. Just the picture with something like the skull mark so people know this guy is an el-cheapo?
too childish? But what is the way this scourge can be rooted out from this country?
