The so called victim is exposed in Ranjan case and Chetan bhagat case.



Maybe I missed something but how is the victim in Ranjan case exposed? Just because two other people said he never harassed them? That in no way shape or form exonerates him from the charges.

In most of these cases it does become a matter of he said she said. It's highly unlikely for women to lie in these situations because the stigma and backlash that they face from society is too severe and they know it. Even in cases of anonymous victim an independent party must investigate the accused's history because if they've harassed one person chances are there are other victims.

As for Chetan, his accuser doesn't give details of his behavior and even says they might have been harmless but they still made her uncomfortable. I don't think her signing off an email with love u kiss u negates her feelings. But Chetan using that as his defense does tell me that perhaps there is a degree of misogyny in him where he sees a women's affection in signing off an email as a sign that he can behave in some inappropriate manner.

Which A-lister will speak? Most of them are Industry kids, related to each other in some or the other capacity.
There are very few like Deepika, Anushka and Priyanka, who are both A-listers and outsiders. They will have practically no support if they dare to name someone big and not to mention, they can bid goodbye to their careers there and then.

PC, DP and Anu are all powerful to name someone big. PC is in HW now, I don't think she cares much about her BW career now, DP and Anu have powerful man that can protect them. RS and Virat are both powerful enough to protect their ladies. So I don't think they care much about their career to speak and PC and Anu did speak little bit about it few days ago.

I agree with you completely. But seems like momentum is going down already. More than genuine cases fake blinds are making news since last few days.

Blinds are dismaying for something as serious as MeToo. But I blame the Bollywood media for it whose heights of achievement is taking a picture of Taimur standing on a boundary wall. Not surprising they are treating it as outing of extra marital affairs. Plus there might also be attempts at blackmail. That's why I am glad MeToo has sucked in other industries like news media and comedy so that all sorts of major and minor celebrities are covered.

Of all of them PC might be the only one who can speak up if she faced harassment. DP and Anushka are all talk no work. But even here DP is ahead of Anushka in speaking up. But among the three only DP might have faced harassment from Big B if blinds were true. But outing someone like Big B would mean taking on the entire BW and political establishment not to mention entire Indian social media. So would she be ready to take up so much hassle? BTW Big B is far more powerful than Ranveer, Virat, Nick, DP, Anushka and PC combined.

People say the momentum for metoo is going down or that it is getting misused etc... well for ages women have suffered through a lot more, many lives have been destroyed. So i don't mind if this movement may get misused.. every movement requires sacrifice for a better tomorrow. If our freedom fighters thought similarly, we wouldn't have gotten independence.


For better society, to make sure same culture of harassment doesn't keep on becoming a norm, this movement is very much important. Even with few fake cases plus many genuine ones this movement has gotten under the skin. Many are getting scared and walking on eggshells... In future thanks to this movement, I am sure men in power will think twice before indulging in sexual harassment. I am all for it even if it means there will be few who will misuse.

One woman lying spoils the credibility of all women But one man raping or assaulting does not spoil the credibility of all men. If this is not male privilege then I don't know what is. #MeToo #Misogyny

Please name one person who has benefited in any way from speaking out. One person.
Dr Ford cannot go back to her house because of death threats while Kavanaugh has a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. The woman who spoke out against Trump had to leave the counry while Trump was elected President. And this is in progressive USA.

So WHO are all these women who are getting fame and fortune for speaking out?

That's one of the biggest reasons why many women are coming out anonymously. Some of these are powerful men... what is the guarantee of their safety if they come out with their original identity? There are some who think anonymity means "false cases" to suppress the voices of anonymous women. It's easy to say they should come out with their identity if their harassment is [[[REAL]]]... but frankly speaking why would anyone take such a major life risk in a country like India where it's easy to blow someone up for shutting them up? I wouldn't. And those who have come out with their identity to express their harassment have got plenty courage. [Hats off]

For ages men hv exploited d silence of women, just coz she is silent, means she is agreeing to it. They even make the plight of women into jokes. Finally women r gaining voice n even with a few fake ones, it's a big achievement. I hope d future generation is able to give it back then n thr. This forum alone is d poof as to how many women have been abused. Nobody here is gaining anything sharing thr stories.
