I m sorry Eva for ur friend... Actually, in such situations its not easy to handle or think straight.. It might be easy for us to say she could have ran away or would have reacted smartly, per woh kehtay hain na jiss per guzarti hai woh jaanta hai. I just couldn't handle such scenes or sight coz i just cant STand Men staring a woman with some filthy intension. It creeps me out .. even i tried to Act smart once when i was being stalked, being a strong individual myself i have nothing much to offer in my defense, and here we are talking abt a girl who was on a verge of getting raped.

gp, I didn't mean that Naku came in between. Subbu did to help/protect her. And while I agree that Naku looked confused and scared, I still think she didn't want to leave Subbu there alone with a madman (on top of her fear).

That is horrible, and I now better understand where your perspective is coming from. God, you would think people would see forcing themselves on a woman as blatantly wrong, but I guess some have no conscience.

You are right, while many do fight, there are some who are threatened or too terrified to fight. I mentioned that in a response as well.

It's true in most cases girls are just so shocked that you don't move or say a word.
When I was a kid as I was walking home I saw this horrible man manhandling this girl who lives nearby. And coz I was so young and shocked to see what was in front of my eyes, I just froze and started crying. The girl managed to break free and we ran back home and never spoke of it ever!
ever since then I just get very upset watching stuff like this, it's too much. plus I have met abused and raped victims and they never get over it, some don't speak about it while most blame themselves.😭

Sad but true. Blaming themselves is pretty typical. Makes you wonder if being a victim is still a stigmata in our society. And to be honest, there are sometimes reactions and questions that blame the victims.

We would be surprised to know how many actual victims of rape and sexual harassment are out there. Many women (and men!, let's not forget, even men can become victims. And it's worse for them) are too ashamed to speak up. I had my own ugly experience and some years ago I was surprised how many of my friends had similar or worse encounters. But it rarely got reported.

fuzzyface, thank God your friend could escape. By the way, not only young people/kids are too shocked to react. I have seen some tv programs setting up a scenario: child gets dragged into a car by a man (both actors of course). Child screams, bangs on the window of the car. Broad daylight. How many people help? Now, we all say we would help, no doubt. So thought the people secretly filmed. But when the situation was there right before them, most of them turned away (was also done with: woman gets harassed, same outcome). A mixture of too shocked to react and fear.

But I feel I am going way off topic and almost feel like spamming gp's thread.
