Women get harassed no matter how they are dressed. I used to flare up with anger everytime i saw something like that happen. <BR/><BR/>I remember summer of 1994, my own expereince of with such horrifying incident when I was standing at the Madras Central station <BR/>a a man masturbated in front of me from a train rest room which was right across the station . I was speechless and horrified and <BR/>wanted to kill that man . I was so ashamed to relate this incident to my husband who was away that time. It took me while to return to normalcy.<BR/><BR/>But I think just by mere feeling disgusted is not enough with the advent of Internet and cameraphone technology, photographing and <BR/>disseminating pictures of street harassers in newspapers Internet, so that harrasers can be ashamed of themselves. <BR/><BR/>Over time, initiatives such as Firegrl, The Street Harassment Project, and HollabackNYC have developed to call attention to and combat street harassment in U. S too. Projects such as The Blank Noise Project and Hollaback make use of this strategy in combating street harassment<BR/>I guess some things are typical throughout the worls doesn't matter if they are Developed or developing countries .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1160071123607263162006-10-05T23:28:00.000+05:302006-10-05T23:28:00.000+05:30haha nice way to vent your feelings if those teasing boys had females who cared for them they wont be this way , iam a man , i have been with guys who tease girls ,in my perpective boys dont know anything about a girl or women till he reaches a stage where he understands the life of a women till then he is as curious as you are about a man.men dont accept they dont know abt women, if they accept still they dont try much too learn abt women , so is it with women.This uncomfortable talks , eve teasing .....will come to end on a day when parents treat a girl and a boy child with same idea or vision .... to make them good humans ..... iam telling you as a man ,men are as helpless as women are......some ppl might not like my comment sorry for inconvinience.<BR/>ai.enabled@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1157530226670176282006-09-06T13:40:00.000+05:302006-09-06T13:40:00.000+05:30My Contribution....<BR/><BR/>Tutorials for Men :- Latest Updates from the Women Front.<BR/>The link below.......<BR/><BR/>http://femalesdontfear.blogspot.com/2006/09/tutorials-for-men-latest-updates-from.htmlmeghanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12706191936665232571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1157530046618709882006-09-06T13:37:00.000+05:302006-09-06T13:37:00.000+05:30My Contribution....<BR/><BR/><BR/>Tutorials for Men :- Latest Updates from the Women Front... the link below....<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://femalesdontfear.blogspot.com/2006/09/tutorials-for-men-latest-updates-from.htmlmeghanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12706191936665232571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1157157887288364972006-09-02T06:14:00.000+05:302006-09-02T06:14:00.000+05:30Well I hope this blog helps. lookin at a wider aspect of human nature without getting involved in what an ideal society nd ideal law adminstration means.<BR/><BR/>I believe in most places where society is corrupt in most aspects of life, law n order situation is bad, predators nd prey are abundant,sexual satisfaction is absent.Ppl behave accordingly.<BR/><BR/>This creates another problem or benefit? at home. Men have mastered the art of controlling nd treating like property in pocession, girls. They treat their sisters nd wives to show they need protection.<BR/><BR/>History shows the puzzle can be easily solved by removing any of the favorable conditions. Not sure one problem fixed generates other?<BR/><BR/>Reduce sexual hunger. This has worked elsewhere.Sexual satisfaction helps social development though it can be achieved by other means too.<BR/><BR/>I wish this blog works nd i m proven wrong but i doubt only this can go far enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1153913825719361052006-07-26T17:07:00.000+05:302006-07-26T17:07:00.000+05:30Hi All,<BR/><BR/>Reading through the comments made me really depressed so I felt the need to post this. I took a ciggie break a few mins back and all I was thinking of this (holding my head low all the time, lest I would look at a girl).<BR/><BR/>Being an "average" guy I have "checked out" girls countless number of times. Though I look at them when they are not looking and if they look back I pretend I was not looking at them (it won't affect them if they don't know about it, right). I am sure most guys have done this (regardless of weather they are Indian or not). Why is this such a big issue? The more sensitive you get more hurt you will be. Sometimes we all have to tolerate things (or course there is a limit to everything). By looking I don't intend to touch you or rape you. But if I'd known if affects girls so much I surely would have tried not to look. Why can't girls accept guys for what they are (I am talking about the regular guys like me who look but don't touch)? Do you think guys outside of India don't stare at pretty girls? You looked pretty and caught my eye, so I looked at you, no harm intended. What's wrong with this?<BR/><BR/>That said, I can also see this from a girl's point of view. I do like attention but would hate getting stared at all the time in public (especially if its sexual in nature). <BR/>And don't think guys have never faced sexual harassment. When I was a kid someone tried to feel my groin as going through a crowded train compartment. Of course it felt humiliating and I am sure it would have even more humiliating if I were a girl. Another time when I was even younger (around 8-10 years) a man (probably in his 40s) showed me and some of my friends (including 1 or more girls) his dick. But because of the shame we never told anyone. Anyways, my aim is not to gather sympathy. Just want to say that I somewhat know what sexual harassment is about.<BR/><BR/>To those who are comparing Indian men to US/European men, I don't think it's a level playing field. Indian men don't have molesting girls in their genes. Indians are brought up differently. Since childhood we are not given enough exposure to opposite sex. There so many girls or boys only schools. Even most co-ed schools have separate seating for boys and girls within the same classroom. It's the same in public places, temples, transportation, queues, religious ceremonies, etc. Girls are still told by their parents to maintain distance from boys. Remember, I am talking about the majority here. If your growing experiences were better, good for you.<BR/><BR/>All this makes boys think of girls differently, as a different group of humans, not their own. Not being able to interact with girls makes them indifferent to them. And at the same time they are attracted to them. But because of the unnatural society created barrier they suppress their feelings which comes out as sexual harassment later in their lives. I strongly believe if Indian men had more interaction with women (their age) in their bringing up they would respect them more and we would have fewer cases of sexual harassment. What Indian society does is raise boys and girls separately and differently, like cattle. What you see is the consequence.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the above is not meant as excuse for crimes like sexually molesting and rape. Just wanted to give a deeper perspective of the problem which lies in the society.<BR/><BR/>I read some comments on how the world would be a better place if there were no men or ask "sisters" to unite. Well I can assure you that "brothers" might also have a better life if there were no females ("No woman no cry"). You cannot "fix" the problem with views like these. In fact views like these *are* a big part of the problem. Don't make it "us" against "you" or vice versa. We are still the same species with the same amount of intelligence. Let's not try to prove otherwise :-) .<BR/><BR/>That's all I have to say for now. I hope what I said made sense as I am not too good with writing.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Saurabhdexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929166965511433378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1148652164871268262006-05-26T19:32:00.000+05:302006-05-26T19:32:00.000+05:30hey guys,<BR/> really great..so many people are bothered about it..<BR/>i'd just like to add few points...<BR/>1.i dont see any reason behind people supporting dress code.. except hiding their own experiences of surging impulses under them and of course inability/unwillingness to control.I seriously see no issues in people peeping around in less clothes/no clothes or whatever...its perfectly fine, if they wear t-shirts in chilling winter wind just to heighten their sex appeal...i wud rather enjoy it..<BR/>2.its really difficult to decide who likes to be stared and who does not..its not a good thing to feel victimized..i mean many girls/boys like to noticed/stared/commented,<BR/>and its difficult to draw a line for every person u see...<BR/><BR/>3.yea boys! personal choices oughta b respected...if someone has trouble in getting commented/touched/stared..then u needn't go an extra mile to do so..<BR/><BR/>4.plz dont blame the male fraternity for rape..they are just neurotics...if women had the power balance in their favor..i dont think they wuda skipped the chance..its an issue with govt...<BR/><BR/>5.and a warning..<BR/>if u think that by protests we ll be able to awaken the rationality in the mind of people..<BR/>then we are making a false assumption,people seldom decide by ratinality and conscience..even more breezy assumption is that they will do it in streets..no way...people decide mostly on single basis..i.e to avoid trouble..they know that u ll also avoid trouble by not retaliating ...so, if u decide to create trouble for them..u ll be able to make them avoid eve teasing..howl,scream,slap,dont try to act sophisticated if its really bothering u..u can even take help of yr bf/bfs/just good friends/brother/daddy to beat him..<BR/>if u are with all girls/alone..just walk bravely and try beating that guy..many people will join in...and then u might slip away like scenes of comedy movies..or u can stay if u wud like to make many unwanted caring friends....interpreterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02002106510007262920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1144605353264480922006-04-09T23:25:00.000+05:302006-04-09T23:25:00.000+05:30jasmin,<BR/>great work.<BR/>i attended the meeting in delhi today.<BR/>and here is my penny's worth.<BR/>http://www.fracturedearth.org/?p=101<BR/>shekharmrajshekharhttp://www.fracturedearth.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1144328059277827542006-04-06T18:24:00.000+05:302006-04-06T18:24:00.000+05:30Instead of just link to the home URLs of bloggers, can we have the links to their blog articles on this subject?

I was going to school, dressed in salwar kameez dupatta, head bowed, books held close to my chest as added protection. <BR/><BR/>When I passed by a bunch of guys, one said - "Do you think she's wearing panties under that?<BR/><BR/>That was my moment of illumination. I could be pretty or ugly, young or middle aged, sluttily dressed or not. Men owned the street and they had absolutely no qualms about humiliating anyone as they saw fit. <BR/><BR/>That said I'm glad there're men coming forward to this blog.pramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17641739714585961257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1142808384102083942006-03-20T04:16:00.000+05:302006-03-20T04:16:00.000+05:30Great going gals, and guys who support us. I used to think something was wrong with what I wore, that I was somehow asking for it. Till one day in Madras... I was dressed in a salwar kameez, dupatta neatly pinned, walking to my school bus stop, when someone from the bunch of guys sitting on the culvert said - "Do you think she's wearing panties under that?" <BR/><BR/>That was the defining moment for me - it didn't matter if I was pretty or not, indecently dressed or not, men owned the streets, and they would not use every opportunity they get to humiliate women.<BR/><BR/>That said, I'm happy some guys are coming forward and commenting on this blog from their perspective. We do need dialog to get this menace off the street.pramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17641739714585961257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1142679010382857832006-03-18T16:20:00.000+05:302006-03-18T16:20:00.000+05:30has been an eye opener to all .... have got a lot of people speaking... thats a creditable achievement... and you have got enough male's voicngtheir support as well. too late i know... yet here's my support... check it out.......<BR/>http://masalatalk.blogspot.com/2006/03/blank-noise-project-time-to-think.htmlAdityahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07901224152771254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1142636767292729962006-03-18T04:36:00.000+05:302006-03-18T04:36:00.000+05:30http://finite-infinity.blogspot.com<BR/>QueerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-1142604067563261512006-03-17T19:31:00.000+05:302006-03-17T19:31:00.000+05:30Here's my take on it.
