A Damaging Truth The Indian Entertainment Industry Doesn't Want You To Know
Most people are happily ignorant of the fact that they're being force fed daily with high doses of "Sexual Objectification of Women". Sexual objectification is the concept of treating a person merely as an object or instrument of sexual pleasure, tagging them as sex objects'.
While men's sexuality is always showcased as subjective' (or as a whole package viz. intelligence, smartness, attitude and maybe looks), women's sexuality is portrayed objectively. And nothing defines this better than the video above rightly titled "No Country For Women".
When Amitabh Bacchan asks us to get polio drops, we listen and we act & imitate.
When Salman Khan pinches the bottom of a stranger (girl) walking down the streets in a movie scene, the crowd smiles, whistles and learns. Then they imitate.
When Aamir Khan raises his voice against female foeticide, we become enraged, officials raid illegal sex determination centers, we spread the good message. We imitate.
When filmmakers make movies sexually objectifying women, people buy tickets and dance to the tunes of "Baby Doll". We dare them to make a movie sexually objectifying religious Goddesses.
Would you still dance to that tune? Food for thought.
