If we remember from the 2nd episode of the show, there was one girl and two guys. So it's not like guys don't get harassed by other people (male/female) in the society. But like Chitrashi says, assualts against women get down to sexual harassment and get reported while those against men take a backseat after being termed as mobbing. Shouldn't equality be when both men/women can walk down the streets in any part of the country at any hour of the day/night without being molested or mobbed?
Yes i agree with you , both men and women should be able to walk freely down the streets of their own countries , yet reality is Most women don't feel safe in India , While Men are roaming the streets carefree, I don't live in India , But my father's side of the family . Most of the Young ladies and Women , Feel UNsafe to go out at night with the company of a Man . AND me on the other side of the world , I got out for midnight , 1PM walks with my mother .
So in comparison, Men don't feel unsafe to roam the streets at night.And the crimes towards women is greater then towards men .I am Not saying Men are not harassed or molested , But in Public i have yet not heard of Man being Molested , Raped In public and bystanders just watching. ( I may be completely Wrong ) .
Yes, such attacks are taking place on men too... but do we report them or does a crowd of on-lookers gather around? No, bcoz they brush it off as a tussle between some goons.
You may be right that men are getting harassed and attacked, that side of the spectrum i don't know , may be the failure of media or police or even reporters to bring light to this issues. If Men are getting molested In public , then they deserve to be protected.
Don't you think it's the on-lookers who are more at fault? Why not ask for laws that punish these on-lookers?
I have Never implied that bystanders are not at fault, as a matter of fact i have been saying that every Indian needs to take a stand against harassment , See something , say something , do something. in regards to laws to punish the on-lookers, in theory it is a good idea but in reality it might get messy. Example take the Guwahati Case, the bystanders were hundreds of people, Included families who were driving by in their cars . should the cops really spend their time tracking each person , or should the focus be more directed towards finding the sexual offenders. See this is where things get messy , cuz time , law enforcement power and money is needed to handle arrest of this size. and yes each day a New case of A Female victim , Indian Jails will run out of space . and does India have that much funds at this moment ? idk
Isn't it the on-lookers who make the difference and indirectly encourage the offenders to turn an attack into a sexual assault against women? Yes, offenders are offenders and should be punished, but why leave the on-lookers - the real culprits?
Bystanders are the real Culprits, I don't agree with that Point. The sexual Offenders are the real culprits . the Bystanders are just plain out cowards who need to grow a spine. The Bystanders are partly to blame ? but can India really impose a Law to hold bystanders accountable of all these rape, molestation cases ? this again goes back to the fact , can Indian government afford these extra expenses .
Yes Mia, no country is perfect, nor are our laws... but one cannot demand equality alongwith a law to be treated differently, doesn't that defy basic logic? And that's strictly my opinion. You want to be treated equally, then go fight the battle on equal grounds.
You know sweety , let me see if I can explain myself Better and where i am coming , I live in NY, And yes here , we have LAWS Equal for all , regardless what gender, a person is, If the sexual offender is a MAN or WOMAN - they will face trail and be given an equal sentence .
But USA also had to make Laws and rules to create equality in society.
Such as Affirmative action and Civil Rights laws , Back in the 30's , 40's Most of the colleges and workplace were majority White male. In order to bring equality Affirmative action was mandated by the government and Schools, college , even workplace couldn't discriminate against any employee or applicant seeking employment because of the race , creed , color or national origin. Yet it didn't Include Sex. So schools, workplace were hiring But only Men . so again the government decided for Equality of all , they mandated Women should also be Included.
and Afterwards , since women started entering the work force, they began to face sexual, physical and mental harassment at workforce. And Again Government had to mandate civil rights for WOMEN. Yes the law was created to protect women at workplace , but it didn't limit to only them . Afterwards Men also started filing complaints to HR , But reality is they are only 15% cased filed by Men and 85% filed by women . But originally the Laws were enforced after seeing so many cases of Sexual/physical and Mental Harassment towards women at the workplace. I don't see any thing Wrong in trying to protect women .
And You best believe we have Laws to protect the rights of Phsycially / Mentality Handicap Adults at workplaces 😃
If an issue arises in society and there are Multiple victims of the SAME crime or discrimination or inequality is happening, it is the JOB of the government to mandate a Law to protect the rights of the citizens. And In response to the Divorce example . You are absolutely right NO one should be granted a Divorce until Both parties are present. See these Laws need to be Looked over and upgraded. But if they do .. Would it be considered in favor of MEN only ? would that be fair ?
I am not advocating the Men shouldn't have rights . No way .. i am just saying if there is a problem In society, then that problem needs to be addressed overlooked reviewed and Laws need to be created to protect the citizens . To make it a fair and Equal laws for all citizens ..
and Sorry i think i got carried away Again . 😃
