The male population just does not give up on surprising me with its atrocities and quite demeaning behavior. Just when least expected does a man come up with such a degraded level of lewdness, that one is left appalled at the state of things. Considering the fact that Delhi is the capital of a country that is on the path to becoming one of the major world economies; it is assumed to contain a class of sophisticated urban dwellers with a 'modern outlook'. Sadly the only 'class' which monopolizes most of Delhi's streets and corners is the lecherous male with sight that constantly rests anywhere below the head, which leaves to the imagination headless 'objects' walking around solely for the salacious gaze of 'man-kind'.
A few personal experiences have left me 'scarred' for countless miserable days. Now there are so many of these atrocities that occur so frequently, that they can be categorized into groups:
A whistle,comment or a lascivious gesture whilst passing by a rowdy group of men(even boys as young as 12) are common place and do occur quite frequently.
The second type of bullies will stare unblinkingly until they make you uncomfortable and then go home feeling victorious for having partially 'raped' a woman's modesty with their gaze.
Then there are the 'dudes' who corner you with their vehicles and without hesitation, are capable of boldly flashing you with their 'assets'.
The last sort of men who also do form the very bottom of this abhorrent order are those who do not think twice before treating any woman on the street as their own property. They simply emerge out of nowhere and take pleasure in groping around with their filthy hands before scooting off, leaving the victim in a state of shock. Now for such cowards, a woman is objectified and dealt with similarly. Now this is one group that women particularly would like to take vengeance upon.
These are just a few sort of 'male types' that women encounter everyday at every corner of the city. The very few who are caught are soon let off with a warning and so continues their modus operandi in making life hell for women.

Funny incident:
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine, sorry to say,falls under one of these categories..he would keep glaring at all chics possible,maybe try n keep pace with the autos they r travelling in..
So once this female crossed us and my friend started ogling at her as she was walking towards us,kept staring as she walked by,embarassin me,and as she crossed us,made a sound like"sssss"and kept looking at her as she was walkin away..i said,"abe ghar tak drop kar k ayega kya"
See i won't say that we don't find some of the ladies exceptionally beautiful or blessed with well crafted bodies but then,the people patridge pear tree has referred here are way too much,amen even i might've sometime dried to grab the attention of some female,maybe even checked out who's inside an auto(which mostly happened to be uncles) but never have i been fascinated by this idea where i can show my strength over a woman to make myself happy,i,however,do admit showing off my strength(both mental n physical) to impress women.;)
Keep Up The Good Work li'l sis.
\m/ Keep Rocking
You're right...i must say there is a fine line between an innocent check-out n a pervy ogle..delhi is so much more unsophisticated than our other indian metros
