Slutwalk in my Small Town.. A BIG issue..!!

As they say India is under "transparency revolution"...it awakens the feminism in India too...


My beautiful "City of lakes" – Bhopal, is organizing a Slutwalk...A few pro-active bunch of girlies took this initiative... But as always... This is India.. The event got caught in a controversy because of the name itself...


Hypocrites pointed the finger at it for using the term "Slut"... then those helpless activists had to change it to "Besharmi Morcha"... and I personally find it bolder….


It caught my eye on (no points for guessing) Facebook.. Many of friends were joining and confirming an RSVP to that event. I started reading the different posts on its wall. I was really really surprised to learn a few things while browsing it.


 Firstly about its name... I mean, what’s wrong with the word "Slut"... As a matter of fact, I don’t understand why people take it as an abuse or even consider being one as a disgrace. I would better use the work "sex worker" here to address them.
I personally believe that a sex worker is like any other professional. Like engineers and doctors and managers flaunt their expertise, sex workers flaunt theirs. And by the way, what’s the harm in that? In fact they are the ones who can help reducing the rape cases rate by satisfying those perverts (not to forget, those perverts don’t care to spend money, but care to destroy a life, so nobody can help that).


 Secondly, I saw a few guys commenting like... ‘Why do girls were provocative clothes?’
I was amazed to see educated guys (I assume that they are educated because of the fact that they can operate FB) write completely hypocrite things there and making a fool of themselves on a social forum. They were getting so offended if girls were replying back to them in THEIR language…


I do not understand who has set dressing standards or limits for anybody? Why cannot a girl wear what she wishes to? Do we ever rape a man who is bare-chested or is roaming around I shorts…??


Why does any man, when sees a female, with or without skin-show, imagines her in bed with him and then blames the female for it... huh... funny..!!


People blame girls for getting raped coz of their so-called provocative attire, but what about little girls, who haven’t even reached their puberty or are even so young as 4yrs old, get raped….?


The question that comes to society’s mind, after seeing a girls dressed boldly, is “How can she?”... Instead it should be changed to “Why can’t she?”


My personal experiences have been a prey to these frustrated and desperate men too…


Ever been in a crowded place where the entire town is present… even if you mind your dressing, you will hands trying to grab your butts or busts, in that mob… now what is THAT? What do they get out of it?


Don’t you perverts don’t know how to keep you own-self satisfied...?? Can’t you just go ahead and mind your own business? Why do you have to undress a girl in your kinky imaginations and then blame her for everything?


I don’t say that she should quit wearing Indian traditional. She should dress for the occasion and for herself not for others.


This is not a breach of Indian values or traditions... Indian values are not about what clothes to wear… Indian values are about Respect, Truth, Wisdom and Being Human. People who think that wearing salwaar kameez and saree is what you call as Indian values, they are fooling themselves.


I completely support these young girls are doing by standing up to themselves and their rights.
I strongly believe that even the parents and families should support and educate both a boy and a girl for the same.


Go Girls..!! Go fight for yourselves..!!
