Re: [IAC#RG] Murder of a young girl in Delhi (was sexonwheels)


Thank you Mr. Purohit for your lucid suggestions. Thank you especially for your last point that women are being reduced to objects of 

desire and consumption by the advertising industry as well as mass media. The film and music industry is equally to blame, as is the 

fashion industry. e.g. as you point out the woman becomes a hot jalebi to be eaten up. She is not a person to be respected but just a 

body that can be consumed at will. A sexy body that is flouted and displayed and by implication 'available'. The women's movement

advocates freedom for women and this liberation includes sexual freedom. This demand has been distorted by our free market system 

to sell women's bodies and also use them to sell products.. The market turns women into both consumers and those who can 

themselves be consumed. In its worst form it sells pornography.  Is it any wonder that men fed on all these images of women feel 

entitled to rape women?  In contrast to this market driven culture, remember that in the past our cinema produced images of woman as 

persons entitled to respect e.g. Mother India. Today we have munnis and sheilas....

Rape is a rape. Sex without consent and with minors of both sexes. Breach of contractual consensus sex may be kept in another category. Frivolous complaints can be screened. A swift action has to be taken moment a rape takes place or going to take place by mandatory information by any to police by bringing it under cpc similar to counterfeit currency. This will ensure evidence to convict. Some volunteers may be appointed from mohalla to report suspected movements. All drunk movement after sunset should be arrested.  A Sinhapore type smart nameplates should be made compulsory. ELECTRONIC MONITORING  should be installes. Banglore has gps installed in  all buses. All this is not exclusive. Like selling goods or services with sexist theme like Axe deoderant. Or making woman as object of desire. Ads films events rave parties and so on. No Paturia items. No munnis jalebis sheilas chamelies or S Leone whatever.
Regards to all well meaning Suggestions,

Dear Mr Mada, 

If women were women's worst enemies they would go around raping each other. They don't. It is some (not all) men who are women's worst enemies. Please don't go around repeating sexist cliches. These are part of the anti-woman culture of our society, as are sexist jokes. These attitudes need to change if we are to build a more just and equal society,

This is fiction men have created to feel better about their own treatment of women (there is a whole list of such fictitious creations). It has no basis in fact. Men continue to be the largest perpetrators of violent crimes against women (and men). Social suppression, discrimination, etc are male led too, though women participate.

More importantly, don't patronise me. sharing an insight is not the same thing as open invitation to attribute intent.

Strangely it is the women who 
are the biggest enemies of woman.

Therefore, I would appreciate it if such fiction was not shared as an agreement with what I said - it is not the same thing to hesitate to change the subject of an email and to be own enemy - as you can clearly see from my reply (this email) to something that I believe is not in my interest.

Hope the distinction makes sense.
