@Andolan - For sure you didn’t start #MeToo …. It’s a US movement now being emulated by India ….But by raising a banner of #MeToo and calling an accused a “Molester” you become a part of it …. Nothing wrong or right about it …. As long as it’s consistent and doesn’t have a gender bias…, what is good for goose, is good for gander
I am not changing anyone’s views .I am just putting up an argument on the consistency of judgement … and I guess that’s why forums exist
As for painting the issue with the assumption brush that it is sarcasm.I would call it an attempt to sweep the issue under the carpet since it’s not fact based and not supported by evidence or any rationale … call call it “wishful thing” or “ a biased opinion ” or simply an “convenient assumption “
If you see a Woman/Man harassed by 2 individuals of opposite sex right in front of you …..would you watch it silently/ look the other way because the victim is not raising a voice?
Fine call it a judgement. I wont wait for court to pass a judgement....bcz I can guarantee it , this case will never go to court. That was the whole point of MeToo. It wasnt done in an attempt to drag the accused to court. It was a platform to voice out the things people couldnt do otherwise. For me 9 women accusing him of the same things....is proof enough . You dnt have to believe it ....dts ur choice. I will choose to believe them whether or not this ever see the daylight in a court.
Nope ur argument itself is not consistent. Both things are not the same. Even if you say it was eve teasing .....its not the same scale wid what all Sajid has done. So no my judgement hasnt changed.
And no I am not sweeping anything under any rug. I am giving my opinion....dt it didnt feel like an uncomfortable situation to me . Maybe it did to Stan. I am not saying otherwise. Just dt had he been a bit vocal....I would hv understood his stand on the matter more clearly.
I dnt thing you read my post correctly. I said if two of my frnds will knowingly try to tease me.......I wouldnt mind as such and If I did I would voice it out. Priyanka and Archana....Might not be his frnds but they arent some unknown people on a road passing lewd comments either. There is a difference
As for ur Q , yes I would oppose if I saw two unknown people on a road making someone uncomfortable. But had it been a grp of frnds mocking and making fun of each other......would I step inside the group and stop it.....NO I WOULDNT bcz I dnt know what der equation is.
