"Ladke to ladke hi rahenge" gosh i cant explain my experience with this statement. This is used to justify literally everything. It can be even classified as a stereotype.

[ritikagarg]

I think parents should be more worried about "kahi unka beta kisi ki ladki ke saath kuch galat nahi karde" rather than "humari ladki ke saath kuch galat nahi ho jaaye"
If you teach your boy how to treat girls then there will be no need to teach your daughters how to behave in front of boys.

Every family should understand this. Gosh... no one, almost no one understands... not even the women themselves...🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It's really horrible that they are encouraging people to do rape. I think they are mentally unstable. If future if a woman be raped (I don't want that) in his family, will their statement same?
We should come forward. And I think it should be start from family.
Honestly, I will never tell my daughter ( if I have in future) deal with assault. And you also should not.

Blaming the victim is deep-rooted in our culture

[simranpanchal]

girls stop fearing what will society act on your decision. be strong and self dependent.

[anjalisartistry]

Bollywood and some Punjabi songs are responsible for this. ..

[kritiverma]

Is it just me or someone else who always gets uneasy, and bursts with anger listening to those weird comments passed by the so called one's in power, or the one's with high patriarchal mindset, and that feeling of uneasiness becomes more prominent when u realize that it's not that easy to change all of this as the stupid culture is age old😖😖

[samridhidutta]

Most of the people who talks about sanskaars don't know what real sanskaars are and because of these people blame Indian culture

[arvindsoni]

Platforms like Alt Balaji should be banned . They just show rubbish which may have huge impact on people their mindset.

[anuragdandekar]

The balatkaar scene in 3 idiots - its unbelievable and shocking that the scene is one of the most popular scenes of Bollywood movie! How did it even get past the censor board

[diaries]

And our society need to stop learning from indian movies

[aditi]

The people who need to understand this never will.

[crayon]

Reddit has some subs, where indian men talk trash about women. Honestly govt should put them in jail first. Auraton ki izzat ka gyaan bada dete hain, par jab in sab ki baat aati h govt is silent. Govt is more concerened about fake defamation and sedition cases, more than these men defaming indian women dignity.

[sulaganabiswas]

Also, stop defining rape as ladki ki izzat lut gai. Forced penetration and sexual violence are physical acts of torture, they have nothing to do with honour getting robbed.

[shreyashiroy]

My family blamed my crop top because I opened up about my sexual assault story

[furtherpaperwork]

Please don't get me wrong but I find leaving India and never coming back again is better. Married a Foreigner and now my son is so better than any Indian man in my family and they are really scared of him when he questions everything senseless.

[techspartslifestyle]

You said everything rightly. But as you have shown those video clips of those political leaders, now I am worried about your safety.

[Aparajita_bhargav]

To be honest I think ki agar society ladko ko vansh chalane wala Bhagwan aur ladki ko seene ka bojh samajhana band karegi tab jaakar kahi ye violence band hoga. Logo ke dimaag mein yeh baitha diya gaya h ki ladki ko hi adjust karna hota h. Understanding ke naam par boht kuchh bardaasht karna padta h.

[priyadarshiniroy]

"We blame the society but we are society" We should change our thinking first and help our family grow in that way... We always have an option to be good then if we can't we choose excuses. So top excusing and choose to be good.
