Not moral policing. Harassment. Violent, and deeply sexist harassment. It was a form of terror, actually. Using violence in the name of nation/religion/ideology. The attack was political and deserves to be treated as premeditated political violence.</A><BR/><BR/>@Kislay - I wonder if it is men verses women at all. I know both men and women who are excusing this harassment as an act to teach the girls a lesson for drinking! <BR/>And then there are men and women who can see it for what it is - just a case of politically motivated sexual harassment. <BR/>I think some of us value justice and liberty more than others - And individual Rights.

And after taking over one half , they went ahead with their designs on how to rake in the other half , their own kind . Through religion,race,caste,language and a host of other crap . Shame on the men who fail to see a woman as a human and an equal , even after being born of one .aShyCarnalKidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708483268962279495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979948133453716071.post-79839171251099045192009-01-29T09:11:00.000+05:302009-01-29T09:11:00.000+05:30IHM and @lankr1ta:Thanks for your comments...It se...IHM and @lankr1ta:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments...It seems to me that this Sumanth character hasn't had a fulfilling relationship with a woman hence, the venom...<BR/><BR/>The basic dynamics in a family need to change...If all members of a family are treated humanely by the elders, then the children will also learn to do the same...Boneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649563485896628766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979948133453716071.post-74483923205144270432009-01-28T22:10:00.000+05:302009-01-28T22:10:00.000+05:30Women are treated badly because they are thought o...Women are treated badly because they are thought of as property. It is the same the world over. And "being nice because she is a woman" attitudes are also pointers to the same. Ought, in my opinion to be replaced by "treat a person like human being". And well, people like Sumanth, who are Men's rights Activists, who try to "save the family", well the lesser said te better for them- they are among the first to indulge in slut-shaming.<BR/>Education helps as does the questioning of "women are the weaker fairer sex" ideas. Another thing that helps is trying to treat people like human beings irrespective of gender.Dr. Ally Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191162451745534259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979948133453716071.post-41624593398886073202009-01-28T21:16:00.000+05:302009-01-28T21:16:00.000+05:30Bones this same Sumantha left the SAME COMMENT on ...Bones <B>this same Sumantha left the SAME COMMENT on my blog also - I haven't published it ...</B><BR/><BR/>This Ram (Ravana) Sena should be banned, this guy talked of the number girls who have committed suicides last year (he said 11 girls) and how three of them were pregnant - this kind of crap is what they talk - when they see EVERYBODY is condemning them, and they must malign the girls' characters to make themselves look pure and self sacrificing!<BR/><BR/>Just look at how much they are doing o save the nation and it's culture.Indian Home Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649133480442907582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979948133453716071.post-18842667815734118822009-01-28T19:19:00.000+05:302009-01-28T19:19:00.000+05:30What happend is most reprihensible and cannot be ...What happend is most reprihensible and cannot be excused.I wonder if it is Indian culture to beat up women.

Whether we have countries exploiting that law to bully, even invade, weaker countries or religions that recognise that man is physically stornger than woman. <BR/><BR/>Education will help, has helped, but there will always be those who follow the jungle rule. In the West, the porn industry is also basically about exploitation of women...<BR/><BR/>People like us have to keep fighting and raising our voices so that shameful incidents like the one we saw in Mangalore are not repeated...the pressure has already drawn a public apology from the head of the Sri Ram Sena...much more needs to be doneVinod_Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654167848186778789noreply@blogger.com
