Double Standard- A Naked Truth

I saw a video in YouTube about a 17 years old girl in Guwahati, being molested on a road, and stripped in public by 20 so-called "men". Just 5 minutes later I saw a picture on my Facebook timeline of a chick posing naked, for PlayBoy. She just shared the pic on facebook "to let us all know".

While I completely support the idea of nudity at will, I refuse to succumb to subservience to a society that says that if a woman's appearance inspires a man's erection, he can simply do as he pleases. I am sorry, being a woman, not only do I support a woman's right to dress and behave as will, as long as she isn't harming anyone, I also support a man's behaviour to do the same.

However, what I know for a fact, that today's Guwahati incident is going to cause a big huge hooplah about pubs, skirts, lage nights and women drinking alcohol. Pubs will be bad mouthed, the poor 17 year old is going to be persecuted for "dressing provocatively", drinking and being out at night. Parents will stop daughters from going out, and the goons who were not even man enough to respect a woman will roam free.

Yes, the double standard lives! Men can roam around however they want, while women have to cover themselves up EVEN IF THEY DON'T WANT TO! Despite that, women will always be prey to the perverted mind of sick men!

Why such a double standard? Why does a rape mean that the woman was not careful enough, rather than the guy being wrong? Why should women be careful, rather than men being more well-behaved?

Sexuality is human. Men and women both have sexual needs, arousals, desires and a need for sexual satisfaction! Nontheless, sex is rape if not consensual! Men, women are not for you to molest at will! Women, you have the right to say no, and take action against those who force nonetheless!

Our society needs to learn healthy, moral, ethical and human ways to achieve sexual stimulation, satisfaction and understanding. It is truly a warped world!
