Few years back there was this case in Kerala where a lady working in Calicut University complained of misbehavior from her colleague. He apparently did something very explicit (which I can't write here) in public and people kept quite. This lady lodged the complaint with evidence. But all of her seniors and rest of the colleagues asked her to let it go and even her husband and family was ashamed of this thing becoming public. But she was confident and had evidence too. Her husband left her, colleagues mocked her but she continued the case.
I don't know what the outcome of the case is but it is a pity that even educated women would support men when it comes to cases like this and blame it all on women. That is why we still have women burning other women in the name of dowry and sympathizing with men. Till women know her power and get guts to stand for herself the condition will remain pathetic.
Tell me how many cases you know where a woman came forward and got justice? It is very easy to quote some random incidents but in real world women still get harassed and they keep quite because others (mostly women) would be the first one to mock at them.
