Eve teasing and male dominance
Why are women treated with such disrespect? Are Indian males prone to harrassment or have they made it a way of life?
Eve teasing… does it ring a bell? Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Probably yes, if you are a female. The issue of eve teasing has gained immense attention from people all over the country in the past few years. Women are subjected to this social evil irrespective of the fact that they might belong to any caste, race or creed. Some say that eve teasing is a euphemism used in India and Pakistan to describe sexual harassment and molestation.
 
Arundhati, 11, is a school going kid who confesses of being subject to this foul treatment several times. “Ugh! What the hell are these men made of?” A rather unpredictable question, I guess. Someone just asked the other day that why on earth do Indian men behave like…you know what, or start singing whenever they spot a female! I was speechless. Eve teasing is victimizing most of the women in our country. What the hell is this concept? Some say it’s a prank, for others it is a phenomenon carried out for fun.
 
Is it all about some sadistic pleasure that men try to derive out of a woman? And why? No answer can justify this horrendous crime. It is in fact almost sinuous to be part of a joke that pushes you to disrespect women in any way whatsoever. According to Karuna, 24, eve teasing has become a way of life for most men. It was a sure hell to take a bus ride to college everyday. Some boys gathered around just for the heck of it trying to cling on to her. And just in case they ended up touching here or there, it was termed as an accident. It can happen in a bus…right?
 
What about the evils of harassment? Does every single guy touch a girl unnecessarily? Some of them go beyond diffidence and play on their pranks to have a feel of anything on which they can lay their hands. This might sound obscene but this is the ground reality. The bottom-line is the number of women who raise their voice against such crimes. Some of them just feel uncomfortable and adjust themselves. While others just let it happen. There are a few instances wherein they raise their voice and complain.
 
 The enormity of eve teasing is far venomous than other social crimes. Neetu, 20, complains that whenever she is crossing the street or in a crowded area, a lot of guys come up with weird phrases like mirchi, pathaka’ or ‘bomb’. She is in no way able to react.
 
What inculcates men to eve tease? Is it a tradition or social evil? Why must women suffer? No doubt a lot of guys complain about Adam teasing. But is the concept all that surreal and dominant? Do women end up behaving in a vulgar and insane manner?
 
Asking someone out for coffee is one thing whereas pestering someone to dine is another. There are various means of defining eve teasing. What is the solution? Women must learn to raise their voice. It is a matter of integrity. Are you ready?

i think eve teasing at a mild level is not so harmful..its quite natural for boys ,especially adolescent boys to have a look at beautiful girls,even in public..some may make comments also,take it funny and go..but if somebody is taking it as a business ,surely he must be brought before a psychologist.he needs counselling..also body touching and all should be resisted by the girls,nobody have the right to touch ur body without ur permission.

I am 17 years old and ive gone thru hell a lot of this.. inschool and college.. i did complain to the proffessors, pricipal and chairman.. but those rogues r still continuing wit the same activities.. ther is no voice for women.. the authorities jus find fault with the girl.. It has become like boys can do anything to a girl..and if that anythin happens the gal is to be punished and blamed...Afteral guys have the rights..

Dr.Purav P.Bhavsar
It indeed occurs, accepted, but the way it is presented, it is purely female chauvinism. Have you ever wondered what drives men to do all that; I do accept that some men are really vulgar, but not all incidences encompasses only male fault. You might have seen girls in miniskirts and exposing clothes. Why ? Kyo bhai , kis khusi me ? Wearing such provokative dresses and behaving such, including stylish attitude, body language, etc, etc, what for ? It gives a direct invitation to what females dislike. This, is not the only hypocritical behaviour from females...there are many, including bullying men for no reason, you wont believe !! but they do... and many others i dont have time to discuss... But what i want to emphasise is the fact that I accept that Eve teasing do occur, but also to emphasise that the way it is presented here, is false, and though men may be at a greater fault, but they are NOT THE ONLY at fault.

eve teasing not only the problem in india. upto much extent the women are also responsible for that, they wore the clothes in such a way that most of there body parts remains open. that will excite a men for doing something with that.
sam
its a shameless act n should b condemmed. who doesnt look at a pretty face twice but to comment out loud is not done. show ur strength by bein there by ur women n supportin them.
Tamal Das
I thing every male are not same.Eve teasing depends upon the culcure of a particular.It cant be happen any time by any males.Some times girls/ladies are eveteased by their own reason such as very exposed dresses,sexual apeals etc.So it is not right to throw the all grievence towards the 'MALES' of our society................thank you.......
Abhijit Chakrabarti
Its an excellent article. Coming to solutions for such eve-teasing, there are few ways. Any teaser gets teased, when ignored. The best way to teach these road-side romeos is to just ignore them when alone. And when in group, purposefully start laughing aloud at them as if some kind of mockery has been done. Coming to touching while travelling in bus - ignore couple of times, if repeated, raise alarm. guys or boys have tendency to try to become hero in eyes of females in distress. so, some or the other shall surely come to rescue! Taking help of the bus conductor is also a good idea!

Well! its upto how you grow and with whome. These days parenting is becoming a job not responsibility, its up to them to induce what is the greatness of women in india as most of us preach many godess but fail to understand its importance and exhistense, some or many i should say have misconception prevailing their mind about women. she is the one who gives life to new comer, one of the greatest thing on earth is being "MOTHER" and as a man we fails to understand it. offcourse, all these thing cannot be taught but realise, know and one which makes us think so.
Avinash
just give them a tight .... Slappppppppppp and remember all men are not same..
Saum
Ya, in some manner its true. But dont point to every men u come across!!! All might not be the same. Without complaining can we look into this matter that why this happens?? As far as my knowledge is concern all the women are also not teased.. but those who expose themselves as a bolly or holly actress then... And tht become a trend now. We are blindly following some ridiculous fashions, dress paterns etc, which make them to do such nonsenses. Not give anybody a chance to put a comment on u. I am sure atlest 1% of teasing ll be reduced.
your well wisher
i feel its a two way communication! its unfair to blame all males for everything...
Ashok Bhatt
I am satisfied with Mr.Saum. He is right, The Artical he wrote is true and actually it is, That is why some women being teased. and also it true that some man has made it their habit to tease girls and women, it is because they have no other work to do, ie Unemployement. There is a saying " A Bad Man Always Querrel With His Tools" Some Persons are very much gelious to women achivements in every fields, so they use This way to tease women.In some cases women are also responsible for being teased as Mr.Saum Wrote.

You just sound like another usa feminist who hates men-as I was born in USA they are always swarming around pointing out their hatred of men--romance--babys---etc---Thankfully--I have lived in Brazil & Venezuela [I was in Caracss when USA invade Iraq]& I have seen the beautiful feminine sensuality of women in these nations--I adore the romantic feminine sensual women of South America--all those cold feminists in other nations would be much happeier if they learn to love men & be feminine--& also--Latinas are the best dancers--juat look at Shakira--what normal man would desire cold feminist type from the USA over a Shaklira type?? Adios for now--Lejos
Nikhil Ameer
Dear Rachel The answer to the question "Does every single guy touch a girl unnecessarily?" is- 'NO.' The way I said that might sound silly or childish... Well?.I have not touched any girl in fact,?.this is a very bold statement to be said in public which will draw a lot of ridicule. However, it is fine. Further more I would like to add that?.I believe in virginity and saving oneself for the person we love?.,this and much more! These feelings are generally associated with Indian females?but that is not the case. For a man all this is based more on principles and idealism?, being brought up in dignified manner, values, righteousness and religious beliefs. These are the factors that help him withdraw and withstand temptation even when no one might know him committed a sin?.and moreover while he knows that he wont be caught. I have lived my life that way until now. And I know there are a lot of similar guys out there who hates and abhors eve teasing and eve teasers the way I do. So?dear Rachel?Do not generalize men! It is well and good if you did not mean to?because the whole point in me writing this letter was to answer the question I mentioned in the start. My name is Nikhil Ameer. I am 25-year-old MBA postgraduate?presently working in Qatar. Best Regards
Datt
Hi Rachel,tell me 1 thing,when ur being eveteased by some 4 guys n u just get 1 of them by some humilating words,do u find that 1 person gaining support of others n u being more teased or that 1 person laughed at by d rest.I hope u r intelligent enough to understand the situation.we don't have any bad intensions,atleast many of us,its just that there is so much of a comminication gap b/w boys n girls that it makes us do things like that.

Dr. Vikas Saxena
Dear Rachel, It is a nice discussion panel. I read some of comments, and found some agree and disagree and everyone suggest some things should be done in this regard. But what? no one say. I have a small suggestion, Just don't do it by yourself. And if you see some one doing it, tell him too, not to do this. I can tell it for myself. This is not related with class or genre, or the education level, but it is just coz no one tell us that its not good, and it always give pleasure. The way girls dresses, should not be come under scrutiny, they are also the citizen and have their life to live as they want. Why do it FUEL OUR MANHOOD? We must know how to behave in society. Should not look for excuses for everything wrong we do. JUST LEARN TO BEHAVE OURSELF. Think, before doing anything, if it would have been done with me or my relative, then how would i feel. I know its a very old saying, but so far I know, this is the only thing that could work. Coz, since i got to know that I must respect the woman, I do just follow this rule, and I think, I am doing fine. We need not to have any MORAL or SPIRITUAL CENSOR or LEADER, Be your own LEADER, try to know that what society we want, and how we are contributing to it. We dont need a big contribution, we dont need a GANDHI JI in every man, but what we need is just BEHAVE YOURSELF. Make your self right. and that will be enough. to my our country a beautiful one. I am living aborad, and here i learn how to make your country a good one. Ok, may be some one break the rule, but we should not follow him, we should define our role in the society by acting rightiously. and it could be the only solution for any problem. so, keep in mind, the society is made up of many of ME. so IMPROVE ME, and thus improve the society. no one else can improve ME. this is your country, feel it, live in it, and make it as you like to make it. JAI HIND.

yes i accept with u but not all guys are alike its agood article

Dear friends Eve teasing is the news which pays more attraction by every community and religion because it gives an emotional trigger. Lets we say its a media masala. In india or in pakistan, because illiteracy is more in both of the popullation male as well as female, so it is obvious to see this unpredictable behaviour. Why mostly females from developing countries wanted to get more attention? Definitely beacuse they are not satisfied with their own materialistic things, in the same way males are also the part of some sort of attention deficit disorder because of which they do what they not supposed to do. In some countries females are dominant so there you can't listion these kind of complaints. Population factor can be an one reason. The only sollution is to give them proper education and psychology treatment. for example.. a husband never tease her wife and if so its a joke not a part of discussion. so a suggestion kindly, don't supress the females if you want to see less news in terms of eveteasing in india...
himanshurao
Stop generalizin Indian men.
resh
Yeah its true,Men are following it as a tradition.Being a Manager in a company i haved travelled to different cities I am not saying all men are like that but ofcourse the men from the lower class who's mentality is that women are not equal and are a weeker group. Like when i went to kerala i saw all men suddenly singing they enjoy teasing by singing ugly songs and in chennai they just pass comments and stare in delhi they keep follow a women and scare them ,and all of these belongs to a lower class probably no class rather.And in high class or middle class society they cant see/tolerate a women growing or doing better than them ,they just cant admit it.And it continues unless we speak out rather getting sacred and keeping quiet
Mahmood Sultan
Ya although i m male but not like starring habits of men ya it teas the women
pradeep d rajmane
male dominate in eve teasing because first up all god has made women such a beautiful thing (not a thing but can't say what..) . and now problem is that ratio of women to men is decreasing and due to modernization women are forgeting their culture and behaving in western culture .so its natural what eve teasing takes place. i have lot of examples where beautiful looking women but dressed are rarely caught in eveteasing.
Shridhar
In olden days ppl r respecting females. But in modern education teaches how to write not to behave. there is no Samskrithi development. In another part even females spoiles the atmospheare- by wearing uncommon dress, talking etc. Most of the girls make the dress to attract the men's then who is wrong? Building the nation is not only one gender responsiblity. all have to put their hands
Khyati
i think rather then thinking what are they made of? we need to fight back. they are not gonna change, we have to change them...
Manjari
Rachel, you are very true but here I would like to add on that eve teasing is not confine to busses or roads. It extends its arms to corporate offices where well cultured tend to do certain things jus in order to get attention. But I also agree with Akash point. Girls also want attention and some of them get very pleased by it.
preeti
the actual matter is tat most men who do tis on the roadside r uneducated an fail to undertsand how important it is to respect women ..... also sum of them if u talk in terms of severe eve teasin or even rape ....... then id say may be their own family life s not tat good ...... cus may be they cum frm poorer families where sum men turn realy frustrated ... sepcially comparin them to their counterparts..... .......... others in the co orperate world or for tat matter even if u go to the film industry...... we find many cases of men being dishonest to their spouse .... its basically i can say..... we as women should also be held responsible if we fail to give our men a good family life .... their men an they will definately turn to other ways ..an means...... if u talk abt abroad .... sum women would not mind their husband carryin on affais with other females... but in our country its not the case an neither our culture.... so its our duty to make sure tat there is enough love in the family............... and secondly young girls should avoid wearing indecent clothes ..... especially wen they know their gonna pass by such men..... an if wearin a certain type of dress tats revealin is really necessary then they shuld wear an overcoat or sumthin on it
Common Man
Well I agree and disagree !! I agree that this problem is rampant but it is not limited to Indian Men. I agree that "eve-teasing" is a problem but I do not agree that it so big that guys shud be hanged for it. And who the hell told Ms.Rachael that ALL INDIAN MEN are like this. Pls do not generalise such things. All the instances given in her story are of college / school going gals. Tell me honestly, how many college going gals dont like being noticed. Or just check out the dresses they wear. Men are pre-disposed to be aggressive and revealing clothes add fuel to that fire. Why do u think so many rapes occur in America? I know eve-teasing also happens even if the girl is fully clothed. No excuse for that. it is undesirable.
CG
Nice article....and it does happen in India, but if all the men had been like that there wudn't be a single place in India a woman can go alone. Again I have a question in mind...why this doesn't happen with all the girls? It certainly happens with gals who show some extra activities on the road. Again the charcters like Mallika Sherawat and Rakhi Sawant aggrevate the situation. Why not gals raise their voices for that so much indecency in movies? Why most of them feel to follow actresses by way of wearing less and less clothes. Is that a sign of moderisation? Some men are responsible and ill mided........but some gals are also like them. I remember an incident that happened around 10 years back in lucknow when in a girls hostel, three girls called a video library wala with some xxx movies and later the library wala ended up losing his manhood that night. This all happens in the society....there is a need of proper education for all and also for some stringent measures.
Hii
It's not a new thing such a crime goes on every where.These men according to me should be punished to such a extend so that the next time they see a women they would do a 'NAMASKAR' to them. 'I personally feel that these people should be given a life imprisonment.' well...its also that we girls should raise our voice and get justice. We shuold also prove that we are not weak.
my fingr in ur cunt
I am ready. are you?
Raksha
Its a very good article put up by Rachael,which is a sad fact in da 21st century.... Men juss dun wanna grow up,be it a 16 yr old or 50 yr old... They all c gals as sex toys,n pass remarks....They tend to 4get tat they too have a sister,daughter n a wife at home....indian men wake up n realise how to treat a lady....ur born from a woman,how can u disrespect 1 then....????
archika
this is very true that indian men are all but same. i have been subject to many such situations where i found maself incapable of protecting maself. this article is nice
rajeev
to great extend it depends on the costumes they wear and the nature of the crowd. If they expose themselves by wearing look through costumes or skin touch ones it is a basic psychology of men to respond. am i right?
Aakaash
An eternal "hen & egg" controversy. I accept quite a few perverted people in public transports act like this, but first of all they are not all. Secondly, girls should also be cautious about their appreances if they indeed want to avoid this turmoil. Some girls DO enjoy these practices (as a proxy of attention apparently). I cannot blame a guy in singing or addressing a girl as "Pathaka!" if she is wearing a mini-skirt. I am not denying what I said my very first sentence, but personally I feel, eve-teasing is always situation specific. You can't globally term it as "Mens' Folly".
Shweta
I am proud to say.. i am with you!!! It's become so common...every girl irrespective of all comforts of life, would have come across this. Every damn place in India....buses, trains,airports, streets...name it and there they are!!! We have got to raise our voices together!! Alone we cant...but together...yes we can!!
Shweta
AND....the dress dosent matter.... If you are doubtful about it,ask your mom or sister!!! Even in the most so called "decent" attires of India like saaris or salwars...it still happens. It's the view of men...attire plays only a 0.001% role there!!
al
tell me about it all my life in pakistan i had this feeling of being x-rayed by the men (all kinds from the street begger to the white collered ones)i wondered what the hell is wrong with men before the time i moved to europe i thought all men were alike but ever since i moved here my opinion has changed i have never (well occasionally not as often as back home which is ok)experienced this pucking feeling and now i believe that these freaks only live in third world countries where women are just considered as a thing not a human being
saurabh dhiman
hii what ever u hav said is rite infact i agree on it bt not all the people are same 1 canot point fingures on all or sp indians . most cases are in india bt there are people in india who r against this sp men infact highly against it .and acc to what i think this should b stopped at any case
Legalize Prostitution
Legalizing prostitution and allowing men to vent out their sexual tensions is the only way to aviod rape, molestation and eve teasing in a society. See even in this article nothing has really happened.. Its just that you had this kind of a negative attitude towards "INDIAN MEN" that you have brought out this article.. Keep in mind that there is some Indian man working continuously to provide you will all your needs. Also I feel women shout and cry too loud even at minor events which can easily be ignored or sorted out at the local level.
lisa
hai not all the men are like this,in some case women also do mischives to harase men,this means not all the women.this situation can b avoided if women dress according 2 the Islamic way of dressing&way of living.
partly yes and mostly No!
God, one of the most direct to face articles, iv read. Though the jist might be true, it is horrendous to generalise. Abroad? well yes, it does happen but not as much as in India. "Eve Teasing", that is. definitely, its the society men r brought up in and learn how to behave. It has to start from grassroot level. and Not all women are as pious as mentioned. Its just that all cases, otherwise are chosen to be ignored. Please Dont Generalise and insult men. thanks! raj
jitu
You dont have to be a female to realise how bad eve teasing situation is.Its a mentally sick society that we live in today.But the worst part is eve teasing done to minor girls who are too innocent to understand the situation and think that it is somehow their fault.Even the way society treats eve teasing is disgusting,with all the responsibility of stopping it being shouldered on females.
Swati
I am agreed with the situations mentioned in this articles b'coz these nonsense are faced by each and every female whether married,unmarried,girl,innocent child in our day to day life and there seems be have no end to this nonsense done by sick minded males preaviled in our society and these things need immediate attention and eradicating steps from the side of every person of the society been a responsible citizen.
Anubhav Saraf
This is the first time i am writing anything on a blog beacuse of the sensitivity of the issue discussed. I strongly agree that this is a hard fact which each girl has to face in her daily life. Eve teasing is not only restricted to strangers but our own friends, in day to day life they also practice this somewhere or the other place to look cool. I think and i strongly support all those womans who raise there voice against such evil crimes. Lets fight for it because the time has changed, we do not want to enforce another law but change the attitudes of those hooligans roaming on the streets or in our own neighbourhood.
Mitesh Dave
It's true. Nearly 80% of the men behave like this. But hey guys did u all read the comments below. Most of the men are in favousr of the artcile & feel sorry, And many of the women have written that men are not the only one responsible or the family's should teach the girls. Whatever, it may be. It's our duty th clean the society any way it is possible. It's not only important that who's fault it is, we should also take steps to eradicate it, in any way possible
Lynette Lopes
I compeletly agree to you rachel... And we shld raise our voice against these odds... you have taken an initiative to awaken the people, i salute your effort and will support u in every respect...
Male Ego
I read this article and the comments and it's nice to see that many girls nd boys(myself too) want to raise their voice against eve teasing..good. I'm very glad to know that some girls also don't want to blame only boys. Everybody should try to change himself/herself.. u know the main reason behind this,according to me,is 'male ego' or the so called 'superiority complex'. Most of the guys think that even if they tease a girl she can do nothing nd that really increases their strength... Even if a girl slaps or raises her voice in a crowded place,on a road,in a market this can make a difference to a certain extent. At the end I would like to say that this tendancy is not only in India but everywhere. Thank You.
worng but cant help
well...me bein a guy think...its bad to do it ....but i am sorta critic to ur article..not dat i m a eve teaser....dosent it show a open weak point...say a lack of confidence.....i do admit on either side....is da root...of this problem
nipun
This is 2 all the hot gurlz don go 2 places tat suk only those are filled wid idiots in all the gud places im sure even d gurlz wud like to b teased.......
Bhai...
Questions to all who replied here Q) Do all the Indians who lives abroad do the same thing there also? Mine take is NO, it is the soical enviroment which forces such kind of activites.
MAN
Crap Crap...!!! I havent heard a news from US or UK About eve teasing how are they diff from all the women in india...? If u take everything is eve teasing i don have the words to explain here...
VINAY
hey its not the same with all guys.. its only a number of them. and in any case if a girl simply slaps a "bad" guy.. she wud definitely find a whole lot of people supporting her.. u just have to have guts! but just think.. if a guy really falls for a girl.. how should he approach in a "decent" manner??
Divyesh Gaind
Hi Rachel Arora i totally agree with u.ur article is prity good.but at the same time u should know tht not all men r same.Some do respect women and their incedence when male c this kind of activety happening They do react.adn u should not forget their is no smoke with out Fire infact the truth is if a girl is decently dresses(in her limits) no 1 will be bothered to pass comment but at the same time when the reveal more Skin(no offence) guyz get bit cocky and over react i hope u understand Thank you
Pradip Kr. Saha
hey, u write well but i'd like 2 ask u only 1 question... why do u always seem so feminist in ur approach towards issues... there can b a more balanced assessment of things
shoeb khan
sorry miss but i want to say you that not all mens are doing the thing which u say! if a man do such thing then he has to be given some guidance and small seminars such thing have been avoided by a women in mumbai by giving the education to people for details plz see the lokrang published on sunday bye the daily loksatta of 2 months back
ratna babu
why u r strictly saying that only "indian men"..not evrey in indian ..ofcourse i am not supporting men..be clear about ur commenting."only u can,"i mean women"stop this kind of incidents.a mother,sister, wife..evry one is resposibleee

Aur har BHARTIYA aisa hai YE aapne kaise andaaza lagaa liya...Aap zara bahar jhaank kar dekhiye AURTEIN bhi ab saari pehan kar chalne waali nahi rahi... Kisi Ek ki galti ka theekra Poore bahrtiyon par nahi fod sakti, Aaj bhi hamare samaaj mein aurat ko izzat se dekha jaata hai... Aap auraton ko DEVI ka darza dene waala Mard hi hai... aur Un mardon mein vo bhi shaamil hai jinhone aapko is duniya mein aane ka mauka diya....

Well Rachel I am sorry i don't agree with you fully. Yes I will say there are men who do that as described by you but pls refrain from saying Indian men. Cause u will find this everywhere in the world not just India. In every society u will find some anti social elements and mentally sick people. That doesn't mean "all the men"...Infact before blaming men you should get your history straight..Have you any idea of how many battles were fought just because of stupidity of a single women? That doesn't mean people will go shouting about all women....think about this.

its the responsibility of the families too to teach their children some moral values and proper behavior towards women. many years ago one of my cousins eve-teased a girl in front of me and i scolded him badly and when i told about it to other family memebers at the dinner table everyone took it so lightly as if nothing wrong has happened...thank god my parents were not cold about it.
