It's a female's fault that they get raped. We wear sarees and burkhas, we remain sexy no matter whether we are 3 yrs old or 80. It is our fault that we laugh, talk or even walk in front of our fathers, uncles, friends, relatives.
On my sister's wedding day, a family of a husband, wife(she's the cousin) and her son walked in at 2 am. After my sister got ready, I had to take my clothes from the cupboard where the husband was sleeping. I was very decently dressed before the idea pops up :) After the wedding got over, the husband made a big fuss how he couldn't sleep coz I was walking the ramp, swishing my wet hair and was basically being a slut!! Just like that ad with Dia Mirza about some deodarant/perfume(?)!!! WOW!!
Of course!! It is my fault. I was inviting trouble, wasn't I? I get groped & rubbed upon in a crowded bus. It is my fault. I get to hear invitations to get into cars and on one occasion a truck laden with construction material. I get hit with headlamps and horns when I am waiting for my husband to pick me up from work. It is all my fault.
I am alive, I exist..this is my fault. And it's not like I am a beautiful lady. I am fat, have crooked teeth and am dark. But I cannot complain since even ladies in burkhas and small, little girls are being targeted.
It breaks my heart since I have a girl too. How can I protect her? How do I tell her what the world is like? What can I do except teach her to be confident and to make her a good person?
I have a son too. So I teach him to be respectful. He is only 9 but I tell him stories on how to be a good man. A man worth his salt.
To really understand the irony, watch this:
