Foreign women are white, not hot, according to me. Of course, I differ greatly from the average Indian man.<br /><br />4. I really think our nation is a nation of men with excessive horniness.<br /><br />5. Why did the husband rape his own wife? Weird Ass-holes.<br /><br />6. I have been asking about the seating order in the bus for the past 11 years.<br /><br />7. Educating the current adult generation has proved to be of no use.<br /><br />8. It is up to fate, hoping that people like you and I will become majority in a few years, and change all this.Rohan Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803350098674198195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-49128587541412858342012-01-28T03:51:12.736-08:002012-01-28T03:51:12.736-08:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk6Bi23Q7-E&fea...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk6Bi23Q7-E&feature=relatedtirantalblanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061370030941445305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-12773622442490614572011-11-06T00:24:45.632-07:002011-11-06T00:24:45.632-07:00You highlight a very important aspect of an Indian...You highlight a very important aspect of an Indian woman's life...this constant armour she has to wear against the world. As a woman you have to always, and I mean always, carry this burden of caution at the back of your mind. By now its like second nature to us, but sometimes, I envy the average Indian male who doesn't have to think twice about staying out late or venturing into an unknown part of town...they don't know how lucky they are...and all thanks to a chromosomal incident.Supernovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879276419443123019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-27068059050962500992011-11-05T17:48:29.402-07:002011-11-05T17:48:29.402-07:00Well.

"Hopefully the motor of education will condemn this vicious cycle to the past...And after saying all this, I probably wouldn't let my daughter walk around a city at night without a man accompanying her."<br /><br />The last couple of lines of your post pretty much summarize my comment. Education in schools and at home is the only way out of this viscious cycle. And until that happens, as a woman, I'd vote in favour of being safe than sorry. Exposing women to the lasciviousness of the deprived Indian male is not the way to bring about gender equality in Indian society.Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909702073286784203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-86764475357144589182011-11-05T08:57:22.026-07:002011-11-05T08:57:22.026-07:00You know, I didn't attend any of the freshers ...You know, I didn't attend any of the freshers parties at my uni because I was worried about how I was going to get home. That's how paranoid I was. And it took me a good couple of months to understand that I could walk through a park or the streets at any hour of the day <i>alone</i> without being touched or leered at. That I could take a bus from London at 9 in the night, reach Leeds at 2 in the morning, take a cab back home, all ALONE, and be safe. <i>Feel</i> safe. It's what I miss most about living in England- not having to guard myself so fiercely. When I came back, it took me some time to get used to all the staring again. My friends would get really irritated when I complained about it. (Apparently, I'd turned into a 'pseudo-angrez'. Who did I think I was anyway? Just because I spent a year abroad.) So I shut up. And bought myself more salwaar kameezes. <br />It's been a year since I left Leeds, and I still wish everyday I could go back. <br /><br />I'm so glad you wrote this post.kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845072793968270807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-75098436948731050122011-11-05T06:21:10.806-07:002011-11-05T06:21:10.806-07:00Mum, I think those slut-walks are way over the top...Mum, I think those slut-walks are way over the top. They are more for media attention than for affecting real change. We don't that cringe-worthy level of feminism, we just need good policing and more incentives to raise and nurture a female child. Once women start becoming bread-winners for their families, I think we'll see a big, positive change.Farcenalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737898093111227666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-8279833935964730202011-11-05T01:36:56.191-07:002011-11-05T01:36:56.191-07:00Great Post!

...Well written indeed.<br />Ii see a changing India tho.<br />20 years ago in Chennai for example women had reserved seating in buses. Men respected it and left empty seats even if they stood. Now that's history of course.<br />These days you do need to keep your daughter closer.harishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680672128665575262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-75348681958582088212011-11-04T22:18:44.510-07:002011-11-04T22:18:44.510-07:00Superb and timely.

Even though this level of gender inequality exists in many countries and is much more prevalent is parts of the Middle East, for example, it is something that we (in India at least) must do our best to redress.
