I
recently read an article about how influential, educated people accuse women of
"enticing" men to the point of unbearable lust which makes them
incapable of rational thought and give up moral concerns leading to the said
woman being raped.
I
agree, it’s the woman's fault. How dare she do what she wants, when she wants
and how she wants?
That's
just immoral, i tell you!
And
what's up with the clothes? There's no need to wear jeans, skirts, tops,
shirts, salwar-kameez or any other form-fitting clothes that make them look
good, when a burkha is capable of doing all the work and keeps you safe too.
Also,
why do they even venture out of the house when men can take care of their every
need? They should just stay in and do what the mighty men ask them to do.
And
the driving! Oh, don't get me started on that! They drive crappy and that too
on the main roads at night.. The Horror!
That's
just asking for trouble.
How,
i ask, how is any "sane, hot-blooded, man" going to resist the
temptation of pouncing on her when she's so clearly asking for it by driving
around at midnight, as she comes back from working hard all day, in those
"shameless" western clothes?
The
only way to stop rapes is to keep a check on the actions of the possible
victims, not the would-be rapists. Duh!
After
all, it's much easier to control what women do than what men may attempt to do.
So
let's all drape our women in swaddling clothes, lock them up, take away their
rights and call ourselves Saudi Arabia.
PS:
Going by this line of thought, we should also give all our money to charity and
live like beggars, cause that's bound to stop robberies, no?
The horror!!! Saudi Arabia!
ReplyDeleteYou have a fine way with words Ms. Rai :) I genuinely admire you, for your finesse, your intellect and your ability to portray a grim reality in a really light perspective.
I thank you from the bottom of my intellect Ms. Pathak :)
ReplyDeletePs- we gotta stop using "Ms.", makes me feel weird :P
I don't agree with this article and neither do i agree with what with motivating article was....
ReplyDeleteI think, there are ladies who 'drive' men to do what they do... but i'm sure they won't complain because they were in the front seat... but yeah men need to be monitored... their icky 'needs' and 'frustrations' need to be spent productively and respectfully...
While the women need to be careful and manage and carry themselves according to the society and surroundings, men need to respect women's freedom and rights...
I really don't know what you're referring to when you say there are "women who drive men to do things"..
DeleteNo woman goes out looking to get raped and no one, neither men nor women, should be violated. The least that the state can do is provide protection.
PS- women generally do carry themselves according to the whims of society.. it's kinda responsible for a lot of crap.
