@KA: I think you're looking at one aspect in isolation instead of considering the big picture.
Taken in isolation, what exactly is the impact of a mother commenting on how bad short skirt (or the wearer) is, is debatable. However, in reality, it doesn't stop with that one comment, there are various other factors that build up and might condition someone to think that there are certain 'types' of girls with whom forcible sex is acceptable.Take for example, the son hears her mother commenting on how bad girls wearing short skirts are. Then there is a rape and he hears the society in general comment about how the girl was 'asking for it' with her choice of clothes. He reads about politicians berating girls wearing short skirts. He watches on news some Ram Sena or XYZ sena attacking and molesting girls in a pub/ disco for wearing short skirts and being in a supposedly immoral place. All this builds up and shapes the son's thought that yes, molesting or forcibly having sex with these 'type' of girls is acceptable as they are anyways asking for it. So, it's not just the comment of his own mother (which is just one brick in the whole structure), but the comments and actions of the society in general that influences him. And the society is ultimately just a group of several such mothers and fathers, and they are shaping his thought process.
Exactly my point...
A mother commenting was just an example given by me.Even wrong attitude of Father towards mother or other women or the people he mixes with...everything plays a key role in shaping up his mind and thoughts and at the end of the day his thoughts make him act accordingly...
