"Ela estava mesmo a pedi-las"
Portuguese for "She was really asking for it", commonly used when, say, a rape is associated to the clothes the girl / woman was wearing at the time of the assault.

2009-05-10T17:17:00.000+05:30

"agar ladki ko samajh nahin aata ki kaise rahete hain toh uski galti hai"- if a girl doesnt know how to stay then its her fault.

"agar raat ko ladki daaru pine ya sutta amrne jaayegi toh uski hi galti hai na!"- if a girl is out at night smoking or drinking then its her fault .

tell me about the petition.

ila chennu mullil veenaalum mullu vannu ilayil veenalum kedu ilakkaanu -- this is actually kind of cautionary stuff for all mallu girls of all generatiions. if the leaf falls on the thorns or the thorn falls on a leaf, whatever may be, it is the leaf that gets torn off.

- well actually a warning kind a.hey girl, donot go and do things, and then later on complain about it. whether you do it or they do, you are the one to suffer. hence, make no room for any such incidents only .

"pennu chathichaalum mannu chathikkilla" - actually an assault on the female character, this says, even if your woman cheats you, the land that you till will never let you down.

2009-05-07T00:29:00.000+05:30

thanks for getting your domestic help involved. what's her name?

could you also think of proverbs/ statements that imply 'asking for it'- that comment on a woman's character-

or statements that reinforce a kind of male behaviour/ or sometimes not just male but male and female behaviour towards another female.
like the fly and the sweet one?
the statement becomes a justification of sorts...
