❤❤ Well discussed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 To sort of pile up on what's already discussed : 1. I still can't walk on the road in a pair of shorts without being commented on my legs, by literally boys, like 15/16yr olds 2. Feel utterly unsafe at night walking from A to B and some of that fright IS due to police and army people, cuz of the noises they make and the way they look 3. Was almost assaulted on the road by a man on a bike, when he cornered me in day light and God knows what he thought he wanted to or could do 4. Has been the receiving end of exhibitionism 5. ALWAYS gets nudged in the seats of buses, regardless of how much space there is 6. I remember a woman being quite vocal and shouting at a man in a bus for inappropriate touching and the whole bus wanted the woman to shut up rather than actually standing up for her, so honestly there were times in my youth that I used to think, all of this nudging and touching must be my imagination 🙈🙈 7. I have more than one experience where, when the woman speaks for herself, the people around her, men and women, think of the woman in a negative way, saying things such as, she's loud, why doesn't she wear something long, why travel at this time etc or maybe she should get married then there's a man to protect her or along that logic of thinking Anyways I think certain women, like me, come to a point in life that, we know the chances of getting someone's help when we speak out is low, and there might be chances that we have to take on men which isn't ideal(I have salonpas and a pair of scissors at all times in my bag 🙈) but we still speak up. We keep speaking up. We keep being loud. We keep letting people know that it's not right and we don't like what's being done. We keep trying to educate the younger generation, whenever we can by having a discussion about empathy. So thank you for having these discussion ❤️
Oh and ps: There was an incident where my then foreign boyfriend walked me to a cab, at night, from a hotel, and just like krishani's experience he kept asking persistently about the same things that she was asked and to add to that asked if 'I get off at the same time from the same hotel" 😬 I mean what does on earth does that mean, I kept being so frigging angry and creeped out throughout the journey thinking, what does he think i do as a living 👀
An important discussion. Thank you. A bit of feedback though. In my opinion, the background music detracts from the interview. It cheapens it in some way. I'd suggest only using it for the intro or outro, making it very quiet so that it doesn't drown the words, or removing it altogether.
