What's new

INDIAN Women footballers depicted themselves as lesbians to avoid being raped by male officials

.
Nah ... I don't believe it. Sorry. I am not supporting rapists but this theory is highly unbelievable. If someone is in a position to exploit someone, sexual orientation of the victim hardly matters to him/her.

I already told you that it's about fending off Advances and not exploitation. It makes exploitation less probable, and that is something.

Have you never approached women in a pub/disc and been told that she was a lesbian ? (it has happened to me more than once) Its standard modus operandi for those who do not know how to handle men.

Most times our society do not prepare them for handling such situations.

If am not wrong we had a discussion about such an issue a long time ago. I respect your point of view but I believe this is just a ploy to garner more eye balls to the book release. Even Barkha Dutt tried to exploit this issue. I am not denying such things never happen. They do but it's just I doubt this was a right thing to avoid such exploitation. I might be wrong, but I am willing to be corrected.

Do you know how democracy works? that's like 2/3rd majority
There's a majority in Khaap panchayat too and we know the kinda decisions they take.

Trust me I tried acting like a lesbian but it didn't worked for me
May be you were not convincing enough.

i don't think I will be able to make you guys believe what I said, but let me tell you, this is one of the reasons many women keep quiet, because ppl refuse to believe them.

Good memory. I am sure she is talking about it to sell books, but that does not take away the merit of the case.

As the SC says, the 'intentions' are not relevant, only the Facts are. If facts help her sell more books, good for her. I do not grudge her for that any more than I grudge Modi for making an election speech about hum 2 hamare 25.

I do wish our society was more safer and our women and men more confident and mature to handle advances and relationships. But our imported victorian values have totally screwed up society and normal healthy exchanges between sexes are rare.

Women are too scared and men are too shy and cover up their shyness by aggression. The end result is an unhappy mess.

Its not about being right or wrong, its about our understanding the society we live in. That is my point.

Let's not deviate from the topic.

You don't want to believe this woman because you think she's doing it to grab a few eyeballs.
Fine!!!
But not every woman player out there,who suffers at the hands of officials, speaks out everything that she has had to bear. Most of them are mute spectators or victims.
These incidents have been penned down in a book, and the author knows that sooner or later, this will become controversial , and then she will have to produce proof to back up the allegations.

So let's stop assuming things. I believe her.

Its not about being right or wrong, its about there are no more an ABLA NAARI. NO denying the fact that women still get the hard end of the stick but women frinedly laws has made life miserable for men equally.

Case being shekhar suman's latest interview regarding kangna ranwat ..... I am for equal rights of men and women and want equal rights and laws to protect their respective dignity.

If you were looking for no deviation than why bring it up in the first place?

Remember you were the one who brought up the topic of "majority wins"?
And I gave you an example of how majority can go wrong.

RANJEET, you're smarter than this
