Sad to say, but fact is that the same way some people treat animals in zoos, throwing things at them, provoking them with whistles, etc., is the same way they treat women in the real world! Isn't that eyeopening enough? And most women don't do anything to correct this...they get so paralysed by fear that they become powerless. If only they could let pure, unadulterated rage and a "how-dare-you" attitude take over them, rather than fear, the misconception that women are "things" would evaporate slowly, but surely!Karishma VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945136139407912234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18334306.post-1134448353211856062005-12-12T23:32:00.000-05:002005-12-12T23:32:00.000-05:00True, eve-teasing is a misnomer... it's sheer humi...True, eve-teasing is a misnomer... it's sheer humiliation in full glare of others, debasement and an exhibition of misplaced male bravado (if there is one like that). What happened in the train, is nothing short of an assault.<BR/><BR/>Ranjith, how much ever disgusting such practices are, one needs to look beyond and see why guys do this. I am not referring to criminals, but otherwise decent guys who exhibit this deviant behaviour. Actually, as I started typing out my comment it became too long that I turned it to a posting on my site. Please have a look at it.<BR/>http://bpradeepnair.blogspot.com/2005/12/sexual-harassment.htmlPradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.com
