Let me just use my “privilege” to rant for a quick hot minute. Anyone who tries to equate an isolated event of men being thrashed by female officers for entering a metro conpartment meant for women (which, by all means, is something I’d never endorse) 1/n
with any another ordinary day in the metro when women have to feel uncomfortable gazes on them during the entire ride, ARE STUPID AS THE DAY IS LONG. 2/n
These self entitied pricks wouldn’t even so much as glean over the many times women are harassed, touched inappropriately and moral policed by aunties who have been victims of patriarchy, and then have the audacity to comment on our issues. 3/n
How dare they so much as even venture a thought on the women’s compartment, which is every woman’s earned privilege and right? Shut them up before they shut you down. 4/n
There are countless women I know and love who have been through so much worse at the hands of these vile scums of the earth who think a woman’s body and dignity is theirs to play with. Not anymore. Fight back. Claim your space in that f’in compartment. 5/n
It’s pink and it’s mine. My pink auto rickshaws are mine. My pink public toilets are mine. How dare you snatch them away from me. How dare you. Stay the f in your lane. Don’t you dare meander. 6/n
Horrifying instances of rape, sexual assault and harassment come out in the open everyday, cause outrage for a few days and then die down, much like the years of harassment we have faced and continue to endure every single day of our lives. 7/n
She is not safe at the workplace, she is not safe at the pub, she is not safe at a college party, she isn’t safe in a bus transporting 45 other passengers, she isn’t safe in her own car with her children, she is definitely not safe with her pedophile. 7/n
Uncle. She is not safe with her private tutor, coach, music teacher, dance teacher. Safety and protection of women are an illusion. And unless these laws become more stringent, are enforced with immediate effect and the perps brought to justice 8/n
in special courts within 7 days, I will not rest easy and will not denounce my right to travel in a women only compartment. To hell with your generalisation and “feminism is cancer” misery-hacked arguments. Woe be with you, oh my poor sweet summer child 9/n
But shut up. Just shut up. For once, shut up. 10/10
