I will leave you with few pictures. I hope people on the roads find some blankets, some source of warmth in this freezing winters.

We live in a SEXIST world

The comments by various people especially politicians after the feminist protest following the recent gang rape incident in Delhi are quite alarming. As rightly recognized by some activists, it is perhaps the change in mindset that has to be brought in society not just change in laws!

Lets review some of the comments that politicians later thought oh ooo! It was taken in wrong context / I withdraw my comments etc....

So first we had

1) Abhijit Mukherji the son of President Pranab Mukherji coming out in public, and making following comments, "Those who are coming in the name of students in the rallies, sundori, sundori mahila (beautiful women), highly dented and painted," Abhijit Mukherjee, an MP from Jangipur seat. So students shouldnt be dented and painted? Is this a propagangda in some draft being proposed in future?

2)A Bharatiya Janata Party MLA in Rajasthan has demanded a ban on skirts as uniform in schools to keep girls away from “men’s lustful gazes”.Alwar (Urban) legislator Banwari Lal Singhal has written a letter to the State Chief Secretary C. K. Mathew, demanding that skirts should be replaced by trousers or Salwar-kameez.“The intention of this demand is to keep girl students away from men’s lustful gazes and for their comfort in hot and cold weather conditions,” Mr. Singhal said. Oh yes sir. Of all the things you could demand ban on you chose the skirts of young girls. Now soon the older women would be expected to don a burkha? Shouldnt the ban be on those men you were talking about and not these innocent young girls

3)Rapes are rare in "Bharat" (rural India) but occur frequently in "India", said Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the right-wing RSS or Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Mr. Bhagwat have you even checked your facts before stating such a remark, while you were passing such remark a girl was raped in rural areas of punjab, bihar and Puducherry. May be thats not the bharat you were talking about.

4)"One has to abide by certain moral limits. If you cross this limit, you will be punished, just like Sita was abducted by Ravana," Kailash Vijayvargiya, industrial minister, Madhya Pradesh had said. What an example Sirji!  I thought Ravan paid the price for his deeds, didn't he? Or do we blame Sita for stepping out for charity?

5)Rs. s.50,000 as compensation for being kidnapped, taken to Nagpur and raped in captivity for many days. That is what a panchayat in Uttar Pradesh has offered a 13-year-old who came to them with her tale of horror at the hands of a youth from the village.The panchayat in Mauli village in Pratapgarh, about 170 km from Lucknow, pronounced its "judgment" late on Thursday, police officials said on Friday.  Conditioned to believe that rape was the worst fate to have befallen their daughter, elders in her family told the panchayat on January 2 that they would be okay if the girl, after attaining adulthood, was married to the rape accused. Panchayat is part of rural India. So Mr. Bhagwat what do you have to say on this? How is it that Panchayat can give such judgements? And how come no court is yet intervened.

There have been several such comments in past. But these come in spite of alarming protests in delhi demanding to stop crimes not restrict women freedom. What can we say to these law makers now ? While the police in Delhi across various levels is undergoing a gender sensitization workshop, I am wondering if our dear law makers with such sexist comments should also attend it?
