Mumbai A Grope Fest - A Pride or Shame
Read this article few minutes ago on 8th page of today's TOI(Times of India). By the time i reached the final sentences of the article, i found myself asking some questions. The men around, who find all kind of 'Innovative' ideas just to feel a woman's body for a fleeting instance, have they ever thought what it feels to be violated. Can they ever feel the agony a human goes if his or her body and space is invaded without his/her consent? Can they bear to be alert 24x7 while others claim that they are priviledged section ( yes, men do call women priviledged)? Can they ever understand what it feels to be always protecting oneself from touches, sights and pervasive comments? How will they manage their life if their dignity is threatened all the time? I sometimes feel ashamed to be born, simply because the ugliness of men's desire for a female body is so all consuming and obscene. Mumbai, which prides itself be the safest metro, should feel ashamed that it derogates a woman to an object of desire.. women of all ages, of all societies. Imagine ur own daughter being touched by a stranger... violating her body which is the most sacred thing she owns. Imagine men, being violated all the time.
