It's not always women, so stop putting fingers on them. [/quote]

Some of you guys are just making fun of me here and nothing else. Showing the upper body naked or a butt doesn't makes someone bad. It maybe just awkward initially but its no big issue.

Why is it okay for you when men do the same things? Why isn't a big issue for you? And for your kind info no one is making fun of you, just giving my views.

Infact, guys roam within towels even within their families . But girls , do they do this??? Do indian girls show boobs in everyday life?? Dats why I pointed out girls.

Typical men attitude.

Now you are moving away from point. My main concern was prostitution and casting couch in bollywood and we've had enough discussion on the topic.

I'm proving my point.

AT LAST IT'S JUST A PERSONAL CHOICE WHETHER YOU GO NAKED, DO COUCH OR NOT! i SHOULD NOT WORRY BT THESE AS I WILL HAVE THE CHOICE TO STAY AWAY FROM SUCH THINGS.

Right.

I GUESS NOTHING TO BE DISCUSSED MORE.

Defiantly not from my side. And don't use caps on internet, it refers to screaming.

And one more thing , you are no worth to decide whether I will get a shot or not, It's god who will decide. And beleive me if i get a chance to enter bollywood I will change things as much as I could

And you're no one to label women as s**ts when men resort to doing the same things. Why this discrimination between men and women? Now don't go around saying Indian women don't do this and that. Days are changing so its better if people change their mindsets too. And I don't have the interest nor the patience to decide others future, I'm occupied with mine, so I leave it to the Almighty.

Best wishes for your future endeavours.

P.S. Don't drag me anymore into this debate.

If a man exposes his body he's being stud and if a woman does the same thing she's a s**t!! Call your society and your culture S-H-I-T-T-Y instead of calling women s**tty...Their body, their choice..No one else's business.. [/quote]

You may be right here but that is how this is in this world. In the west it is common for women to expose body but in india the culture is different. And it is not that men force them for the purpose. In general, an indian mother will never allow her daughter to expose her body. Neither would her father. This is the culture of india.

Moreover, if you live in west ask your sister or daughter to pose full upper body nude in a public place. Will she do it?????? now ask your son or brother , i guess he can do it without any problem. This is the difference between a guy and a girl and its is in every culture.

And those who are indians here and asking me to grow up my thinking just ask yourself how will you feel if someone from your family say your sister or daughter poses nude and show her boobs publicly in future. Will you feel comfortable???? tell me honestly. If yes Im over. But if no, then where is your modern thinking now?????

You may say that those actresses are not your or mine family member so y shud I care??? But I do care because I am an indian.

The problem is that men in our society grow up believing that they are the 'protectors' of womankind or at least the women of their family...A 'protector' is de jure guardian and de facto master. And this alpha-male mindset is the root cause of most of the cases of violence against women - be it honor killing, honor rape, acid throwing etc..It hurts the male ego to see women taking back control over their body and sexuality and breaking the barriers of 'modesty', 'chastity' and 'purity' made by man.

You know at the start of this topic, I was going to defend you against a few comments, because I thought you were being attacked for no reason. However some of your replies have really just made me go "w*f"

Anyway, firstly stop saying that the fact you will not allow women to do certain things makes you "Indian" No that is not what being Indian is about.

If tomorrow a man posed naked for a magazine, I won't like it. I will actually cringe. If a man stripped down naked in public, pretty sure the Police will take him away for indecent exposure.

To be honest, stop labelling women who kiss, or pose in bikinis as being s**ts. I find it hypocritical that you go to movies to enjoy such scenes, watch po*n, but still label these women as s**ts.

If you have such a problem, then maybe don't watch such things to begin with? You know, raise a voice against it.

Personally, I am not a fan of it, however unlike you, i won't label these people as s**ts, wh**es or whatever just because they are exposing and posing.

I find it annoying and stupid that a man doing a sex scene is nothing big, but the moment a woman does it - it's a big deal. Maybe in movies they should have men doing such scenes with each other, considering the fact that there are such double standards present.

Also these double standards exist because people like you, label these women with derogatory words.

Tomorrow when you are in a movie, would you not do what the script demands of you?

Then if the script asks a woman to do a certain scene, why is such a hype created?

Good luck for your venture in films, but to be honest, your restricted mentality against women's behaviour is not going to let your creativity reach its potential, nor will any woman respect you for dictating what she should or should not do.

I am sorry, but I completely disagree with that.

If a woman is modest, etc does not mean that she is adhering to barriers made by "man", it's her own personal choice.

Yes name-calling and categorising women according to what they wear is wrong, however a woman taking control over her sexuality does not necessarily mean that she has to wear skimpy clothing, she can wear whatever she pleases.

Your statement reminded me of an argument against Burqas and how some people think women wearing Burqas signifies the men's control over them. Nope, it's their own personal choice.

If your contention was not that, then I apologise, however that was what I got the gist of from your post, and therefore I commented :)
