Rather these days whenever U open up the TVNews..there is some or the other news abt crimes on women! today I saw a video footage of how a village woman was stripped by a huge crowd coz she was suspected of killing her husband! It was barbaric to see that act on TV!<BR/>and new years or any late nites..Its completely unsafe for women and I, as a rule, dont venture out on roads even in my car after 830pm..its jst not worth it!Its hard to imagine when u c such incidenst and so common..that v r the same country who think r going to be the next big thing on the world map! We ought to get our basics rght first! <BR/>And Abt ur experiences u mentioned..They r Very Very common..I dont think there is a single girl who has used public transport and has not faced this!If i happen to write it here..will fill up pages! but yes 4 yrs in college..and daily commuting in buses..taught me to speak up and screw men basically :P but I really wish all women were that courageous!<BR/>All in All..a pretty depressing state of affairs..but tell me this ..how can v imporve the situation! I really wonder..coz I c such educated men also indulging in it..that I cant figure out the reason behind such acts..are so many people..so much sexually frustated..is it really that..or something more srs..?<BR/><BR/>PS: Happy New Year :-)Thisismehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978047525605454435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688447346273966988.post-4265325448247777582008-01-10T16:02:00.000+05:302008-01-10T16:02:00.000+05:30Salut ZephNo i am not surprised about the ratio in...Salut Zeph<BR/>No i am not surprised about the ratio in USA.

It’s the tax (being groped, hit on etc.) white skinned women have to pay to come here. But all men are not like that.<BR/>See you will be surprised, a country like USA has the largest number of rape cases in the world. It is a country which is considered to be free and liberalized. <BR/><BR/>And the arguments that she was asking for it are so disgusting. No woman ever asks for it. <BR/>The problem is if women raise a voice, they are labeled as feminists or bold women. There is a thin line between a feminist and a person fighting for equal rights or self respect.<BR/><BR/>Interesting comment by the humourist…n.aka.zephyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941874992478058614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688447346273966988.post-57228593945077236472008-01-09T15:34:00.000+05:302008-01-09T15:34:00.000+05:30disgusting seriously!disgusting seriously!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688447346273966988.post-486262502521563922008-01-09T00:16:00.000+05:302008-01-09T00:16:00.000+05:30And yeah.. no second thoughts about what they shou...And yeah.. no second thoughts about what they should face as punishment - castration right away!!

I have faced a lot of things too - the first time something like this happened.. I was in 8th std and it was so very disgusting.. I started crying.! And to think, I was on my way to the exam hall and my sister, whom I told later on, could only look at me helplessly as I cried..! Thinking back, it is nothing as big as what happened to the girls, but for a school kid, it sure was an ugly thing!!<BR/><BR/>One guy tried it after a few days - but this time, I followed my mom's advice, I pinched that guy real hard on his back, in that crowd and he was squirming, trying to break free, with other people shouting at him for jostling so much!! :D but I wished I had a needle or a safety pin with me that day!!<BR/><BR/>I seriously don't understand why is it that a lot of this species cannot understand that what they are doing is ABSOLUTELY Animal!! Like you said - even animals dont fall on a female at an 80:1 ratio !!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>In a way, I would say, its upto us ladies to take care ofourselves. I know its TOTALLY unfair when girls are told to stay home and not go out late in the nights, but then, when you look at it, when you know people around us are not people but animals, its upto us to take care of ourselves. I get angry and frustrated when my people tell me to be back home by 10:00 max, but only when you hear such things, you realise how true those words are....better be home safe & bored, than be out scared & frightened, or more worse - scarred for life!<BR/><BR/>As much as we hate it, the fact needs to be accepted - we are still in a society that has people bordering on the uncivilised, and its not in the near future I see that a sea-change will come over and men will all go out to start respecting women and give them their rights & space & freedom!! Till then, I guess we just need to keep in mind about the jungle around and take care of ourselves......Meher :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07211596290794699167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688447346273966988.post-16819073386038885832008-01-07T11:31:00.000+05:302008-01-07T11:31:00.000+05:30Holy fck!!!! yes i felt a feeling of disgust on ci...Holy fck!!!! yes i felt a feeling of disgust on cing the pics in the news channels...nd i thought it was a one off incident!! never knew so many things happen!!! fckkkkkkkkkk!!!! um lik fckkkkkkkk so many things happen!!! dumb mofos!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688447346273966988.post-20580961069324493602008-01-07T09:38:00.000+05:302008-01-07T09:38:00.000+05:30Firstly, Happy New Year.
