It wouldnt be fair to say that men are dogs(of first degree) who harass women and pass obscene comments on them as girls equally contribute to their harassment by not getting back to the shameless chaps...rather they encourage it!!Inspite of the contribution of girls to the acrimonious situation the major offense by men is unpardonable.Recently i had a chance to discuss about such foul experiences which my fellas and me have had while travelling in blueline buses, at jam packed places , walking down the roads , with the rickshaw pullers and many unpredictable places as well.And we were all shocked as we realised that the list was a never ending one...!!!We could have talked on and on for hours but then the need of the hour is that woman need to step out of their gullible and shy images and take the courage to stand against the endless injustice happening to them..This is what i would definately like to put forward as the summary of our talk:
*As long as no such incidence happens with a girl she lives in her la la land.I would beg girls to be a little more conscious while walking down lanes when alone or even when accompanied by only female frends.They need to be more alert and know who they are passing by and keep a track if somebody might just be following them.
*If you suspect somebody to be approaching you for a wrong purpose do make a cry.I know it is not all that easy to be done as said but just remember 'if not now then neva'
*If you travelling in a bus and the guy next to you tries to come near you even if the bus seems all empty do this- -look hard into his eyes probably he would retire but even if he continues to stick to you DO SAY 'uncle thoda peeche ho jaiye boht jage hai' and say it rude and loud .He deserves it! and it is NOT going to deteriorate your image and make you look indecent in front of the other passengers rather if not said then it may look as if the girl is too liberal to bother.
*If somebody passes comments while you walk down the lane or even while travelling in public transportation try ignoring them coz these shameless guys can get back to you! but if situation worsens up keep a helpline number handy.
*A bunch of young teenage boys on bike would come and slip in their hands under your shirt or try to harass you physically and before you realise what just happened and step out of the paralysing experience they are gone with the wind... this may even happen with you so always try to keep away from the bikes that are ladden with a bunch of guys on it. if they misbehave do manage to memorise their bike number and do complain about the incidence so that next time the same guy doesnt do it with someone else.
India being a conservative nation has led to these down market practises.Girls need to realise that no action is actuallyleading to the encouragement to such foul habbits.Instead of getting angry we suppress our anger thinking that it is fineand our so very generous- let go tendencies but then we need to take our anger out and show the bast**d men what jerks they are!! and teach them a nice lesson. Sitting alone and not reacting is definately not the 21st centuary womanlike...Raise your voice to eradicate woman harrasment.
