@Dev, not everyone has the courage to do so ie speak up right there n then. Tanushree did speak about the sexual harrassment then n there when it happened but wasn't heard. Now when she spoke about it, and in the wake of the ongoing movement, she inspired many others to come out with their own story. I cannot believe u choose to question the women on why they kept quiet then? It doesn't make sense at all n its insensitive.
I completely agree that women should be made self sufficient to deal with such situations but until we as a society don't work towards it, nothing will change. Until reforms are actively instituted in various places, how do u expect women to defend themselves..its not about just martial arts, its about entire personality building so that we are not rendered weak, at least in case of the older women who get harrassed at workplace.
Blaming women for not coming out with their story then n there is not right especially because of all the victim shaming that goes on in our society. Tab bola ho ya ab, they need to be heard and those who have committed such crimes need to be punished. There is absolutely no two ways about it.
Rani n u are doing the same thing-blaming the victim and putting responsibility on the victim for the sexual assault. If she cannot defend herself, it doesn't mean she is to be blamed. She should learn to defend herself, for her own safety but if she can't or if she didn't, then we as a society should atleast be a bit sensitive to her story and not brush it as weakness on her part. This is a major part of the problem.
Stop blaming the victim for something that happened to him or her against their will. They did not choose this.
Hey
My intention was not to blame the victim. All I was saying was to report the issue then and there itself instead of waiting to come up after Years.
I completely understand you here. Tanushree must have done so, but at least she made people aware of it and even though she wasn't heard but the criminal must have become aware about it. He or she would think thirce now before any such heinous act.
I'm glad Tanushree's story was well received and heard after years. I hope she got justice as well.
I questioned because I think speaking then and there could be helpful. But of there is a fear of being unheard then what you're saying also makes sense. 😊
But this keeping quiet for years just doesn't sound right to me. Because people may question it's authencicity as well, if it's without any proof. If some cases are wrong, then this can also give a way to take revenge from others. Not all cases can be legit.
Yes society needs to work. What we all can do is make strict laws, tight security etc etc. But learning self defense will only help.
Of course justice needs to be served. I'm all for it. India need to be strict with it's rules and regulations.
Maybe Rani's views are misunderstood. But I did not wanted to blame victims and it was never my intention. Of course we as a society need to understand victims. Not only her, but him too. I'm definitely sure this has happened with men as well as women.
Yes they did not choose this. But they did choose to keep quiet under whatsoever circumstances. This doesn't look right to me, personally. I mean I would want a victim to speak then and there itself.
I hope my views are understood.😊
