[QUOTE="asingh, post: 2018839, member: 27090"] To be honest when society is studied it is a generic attitude which is observed and reported. That documentary should be seen as an anthropological film, rather than a crime reporting. It is trying to delve deep into the Indian psyche and understand why -post rape- augmentations occur. Why the blame culture (women are tempting us), shame and guilt acknowledgment, shunning of an atrocity, men have higher rights/status, hyper patriarchy are all normalcy here. Rape is actually the fruit of all these thorns. There is not much beyond that, at least for a woman. Are we men (here on TE) not also part of this pool. ? Have not we tacked on our "last" name to our wives first name, to change her identity (though this practice is diminishing), are not girls married off first (irrespective of age), do not managers blatantly ask "any plans for family or marriage", during interviews; the list goes on and on....! I am not being a femi-nazi here, but just stating what is happening. If any of us have lived any moment or iota of a second where dues to us being a "male" we were privileged, then it is save to call us as misogynists. Or due to the "past" sad male history (example: metro harassment); women have to be compartmentalized, it is almost equivalent to rape. That is what I feel. I know it is strong, but it makes sense. That comparison holds no truth. Even my gated society, women walk around freely anytime of the day/night. Majority of the public areas in India, a women is not safe after the sun sets. That is the reality. USA is way beyond this. What stopped us from making a documentary on that...? Or why have not any of our agencies made one on the Diplomatic Fiasco, that happened some time back. It is suppressing an evil, which is good as propagating it. Women are the fertility of life for all mankind. That is about it. [/QUOTE]
