When celebrities speak out for a cause, we rule it out as a means to
gaining public mileage. But, proud of Shenaz for not only conveying the
angst of every Indian female to the bigwigs, but also urging them to
act upon it. Let it be a publicity stunt...along with her image, let her publicize the
cause among the power-holders. As the women of the country, we don't mind
that at all.......instead, we stand in her support to, 'Its their shame,
not yours!'.
As a man, if you feel agitated by her open letter accusing fellow men, think more sensibly!! Think of those little girls who couldn't even understand what has happened to them!! Remember the days in college when you have seen the girls wade through eve-teasers.....!! Ask girls or women from your household who have used the public transport. Give them the boldness to express. They will reveal more ugly stories of shame!! Imagine the plight of a person who has to move around, but do so stealthily and cautiously to protect him/herself falling prey to some nasty prank!! These would refresh your memory, enlighten you and justify her accusations.
However, no NaMo or Ambani can come to the girl's rescue at every such instance. So, if possible, please encourage them to speak out. Help them shed the fear of voicing the disrespect that people have shown upon them....re-assure them....its no more a matter of shame or taboo!! Unless the women take their own stance and start punishing their perpetrators, this would not end. Who looked into the matter when we shouted of eve-teasing, rape incidents, child molestation, abuse or domestic violence??!! Bring out the so-called demoness in you and make the men repay for their sadistic behavior.
