x-( Part - 2

The assaults on women is not just a problem in that sense. It all reflects how all over the world, in each community, women are viewed. Whatever names be attributed to women, be it a "Lady", "Madam", "Miss" or anything else, one must rethink if it everybody who uses it uses it with real respect to women. One classical example is the state of affairs in our own country. Goddesses are worshipped in every nook and corner, but girls are being brutally abused in all those nooks and corners. Why is this so? So, basically, whatever is taught, it is an attitude of slavery. The one who has powers will abuse/exploit others, be it humans or animals, as they please.
 
      The attitude of the rapists which cause all these social harm through their bodies and minds is of an evil master who exploits the o0nes whom he thinks ought to serve him or on whom he can implement anything which he wishes. How have affairs come to such a state? It all starts from the beginning of the lives of these despicable burdens to the earth. Over centuries, over the whole world, somehow males have been given more freedom and rights and whatever they like unnecessarily. And they have made themselves as the "guardians" or "keepers" of rules and regulations be it good or bad. The problem again is in the upbringing.
  
        ONE dialogue I hate is the following : "Women/girls should obey men." How despicable is this dialogue! If any indecent male rascal tells you girls to obey him, you are supposed to obey him. Especially in a married life. Well, married life in one sense is the most horrible thing that anybody can impose on a girl. If you don't get married within a prescribed age, you are deemed as a freak. If you get married according to social norms, your life is ruined.

      Everyone tells something is going wrong in the society. Yes something is really wrong. The patriarchal system is the biggest evil of this society. The false pride and false sense of freedom given copiously to boys make them grow into men who think that they can do any despicable thing. Just because man thinks that he ha got what he has got, he can't insult women who are solely responsible for the continuation of any race. The main problem is the uncontrolled spread of information overloading with the development of technology in unprecedented ways unimagined previously by humans. Just because you have an unlimited internet connection and any device which you can hold in hand and view privately and hear privately you don't have to misuse it they way you are misusing it now.

      I am coming to the issue of the excess of sexual content in the internet. Not so long in future, internet will cease to be a good thing and become completely a source of all kinds of formidable and grotesque sexual contents. And the advent of digital devices, people can make any kind of video they want and put it on the web. If not for the despicable pornographic sites where do people get the ideas of grotesque behaviours in private and public? If not for the excessive sexual content which spreads unhindered on the internet, where do people get so much of ideas as to how to "use" a person despite their gender and age?

      When the privacy of personalised digital devices combine with the already rotten patriarchal male dominated society, it leads to assaults , brutal and fatal on women. People start viewing women as "vaginas" or all sorts of holes rather than somebody with vital organs such as brain, heart, intestines or lungs. x-(
And people who get all sorts of evil and diseased ideas of sexual abnormalities search for victims on whom they can implement these. x-( Everybody is demanding serious laws to punish the rapists severely. We should demand that rapists not be born. We need stringent laws to prevent the widespread of the psychological carcinogen of pornography and evil mindedness of abnormal sexual behaviour in the society via means of any print/audio-visual/digital media.

     Will there ever be such a law. I'll give a simple classic example of how people use these sites to demean women. I once heard the story of a girl whose wedding was called off just because her picture appeared on a porn site. The allegation was that somebody tipped off the groom who checked the site and saw her picture!!! And the girl's family and the whole society blamed her for a crime she didn't even know anything about. My question is this. Why didn't anybody blame that guy who went and checked the porn website? If he was so pure he would never have checked that website. So whose fault is it? The girl's fault whose photo was misused or the guy's fault who was willing enough to browse a porn site? Where was his chastity when he was willing to indulge in browsing such a site on being tipped off by some crap fellow who might have had some bad intentions? Where is the ban on porn sites?

          The way everyday we hear news of women/children being assaulted not only by men of certain age, it can only be the after effect of the unlimited access to digital technology which is being misused. Right. The decision to use or misuse something has to be taken voluntarily. But if something is always being misused somebody should initiate a correction.

   This is the extreme case of  sexual abnormalities. But even in our daily lives in our own visual media , women are being depicted as "goods" and not as intelligent persons or even persons. A woman is not two gaussians + hyperbola + a toroid. But the way they are being shown in ads and films or wherever possible , women are supposed to be "sexy". How often do you not see a bikini clad (exposed) girl in ads? For the ad of men's perfume girls who appear to be seduced by the smell are a must. For people who can take these ads in the sporty spirit, it is fine. But for people who can't take it in sporty or funny spirit, but as a means of viewing human body freely what excuse will you give? Children who are allowed free access to programs of the like grow up seeing too much of female body and learn the cliched ideas of how females have to be oppressed. If the boys are not brought up to respect fellow humans/animals there won't be any wonder if your son starts browsing porn sites and eating pan masala and indulging in gang activities and crimes.

    People must learn to use digital media in good sense or must be brought to the right path if they are not using it. We can't avoid computers in our everysecond life, but we must also learn to use it in good sense. And we cannot turn our faces to the fact that there are bad things on the internet which people are accessing freely. Because you refrain from it doesn't mean that others will too. If we don't mind it, people who believe all the crap on it will take it out on the streets/buses/houses or wherever possible and kill this planet. It is high time people started getting inspired by good things rather than gangster behaviour or villainous characters. Something drastic has to be done.
