Hi
Yesterday was women's day.Nothing special to me ofcourse.I did not wish even a single person.I remembered this only today:-(.. so nothing can be done anyways..But y day morning I heard a program in radiocity.It had a guest that day from an organisation called blackspot or something..It was a voluntary organisation against sexual harrasment , eve teasing etc etc against women.A woman(the founder of that org) came on that show and said that she used to abused at public places,roads busses etc.. She says she has taken photos of all perpetrators.She also said that its her way of opposing and standing upto all the ..Thats all fine..
She further said some points in response to some smses and calls from listeners that was very bad.I just could not accept it.One listener had said,some girls wear revealing dresses so only they are eve teased.She goes on air saying openly that women have the right to flaunt their sexuality.She went to the brazen level of saying "If i have a cleavage and want to expose it.. look beautiful.. its my choice.. its my defn of beauty.. It does not mean that people should stare at my breasts".. How bad right.. I felt very strongly against her comments.When u say who is the man staring at u to decide what u r wearing is right or wrong for u.. Who are u to decide what he is doing is right or wrong?? my argument is right is'nt it...
basically why do u have to dress attractively(maybe u feel that u look attractive only by dressing revealingly..thats ok..)?? For others to look at u , appreciate u or atleast notice u.But who are u to pick and choose peole who have to look at u?? If in a nightclub or disco the same girl is oogled at will she complain?? nope.. not really.. But she will complain if the perpetrator of the crime(thats what that stupid girl told.. crime ha ha..;-) )is a guy wearing a dirty lungi or a cleaner's uniform.. basically these people have a perception problem.. thats it..I really wonder how come radio city allowed thsi idiot to talk in this brazen a fashion,,
She went on to blabber "As a citizen women have rights to dress the way they want and be anywhere anytime.. there is no such thing called she just asked for it. whatever we do we should be treatesd with respect.."..So wrong.. has not she heard somewhere abt the saying be a roman in rome..U cant change ppl's mindset overnight or even in a year or two.. it will take many years..Say if a girl goes to a local cinema theatre dressed in minishorts and tank tops.. naturally she is asking for it.. the teasing i mean..cant she understand that the people that come there cannot understand or don have enough exposure to behave in a civilized manner to such a girl..So u need to dress for the occasion.. the decorum of the place u r going to,...If u don then be ready to face the taunting and don give a damn abt it... u cant be sensitive and at the same time do this sort of a thing and then complain..I hope u all agree with me..
Please give ur comments openly and freely on this issue..

Good blog .. I cant believe just like you to know someone went on air saying we would expose and guys have no business even staring .. punch line that I liked in this blog is "For others to look at u , appreciate u or atleast notice u.But who are u to pick and choose peole who have to look at u??". Nevertheless, if you are willing to think beyond what that mic-craved lady had to say, this issue of girls (even as young as school going ones - while its not right for any girl to be subjected to this attrocity) being abused in the buses (so have I heard) is condemnable and punishable. Hope that stops!
Jayaram, Some TV kaaga (read like news correspondents).
