There are ideologies that are taught to young ones where women are objectified... Apologies for this. Lord Krishna... In a way one can say He was an eve teaser... Nobody has questioned His behaviour... There has no moral compass that has been raised. Another is Draupadi... Who had multiple partners. Today bharatnatyam dance isWhat it is... But once upon a time... It was more towards a sexual dance. These are few examples... Please research for more information...
Another is the attitude of society... A girl is either her parents Izzat... Her family's... Then her husband's... Then her in laws... When does she have her own Izzat... Why does that not come first? Why does her life belong to everybody around her first? Why do the elders in a family or society feel that they are entitled to have an opinion or tell a woman what to do? When something wrong happens, first thought...it must be the girls fault... Why? Women do this more than men... Why? Women are treated as secondary beings in society... Born to serve the men... If society has this attitude... Do you not think that a more sinister version also will exist...
It is a mother that moulds the future generation... Her thoughts, her vision, her prejudice,... She transfers to her child... When they are young. The question is... Who is moulding your generation?
To a certain part... I blame the television... From an impressionable age... Children watch indian soaps and films... It is no secret how women are presented... Those children are now men. I find it shocking when people talk about what their four and five year olds commented when watching a show that I would not allow my 12 year old to watch. Indian cimnema and television is very suggestive and very sexual.
We have always been taught to scrutinise what our kids watch... Because it affects how they think and affects future society.
I am sorry to have veered off topic.
