the Pink Chaddi Campaign

i read about it in the paper today...its this thing started by 'The consortium of pub going, loose and forward women' ..they are urging women to send pink chaddis(aka underwear) to pramod muthalik,the chief of that bunch of jobless,brainless,chauvinistic and morally retarded organisation THE SRI RAM SENE which beat up young women just coz they were sitting at a pub.brilliant isn't it?!The images i saw on tv continue to haunt me..i think of those men kicking,shoving...pulling them by their hair everytime i walk the street,i am WOmanning a hospital ward on my own or sitting with male colleagues.infact i was discussing the same incident with the latter a few days ago...and well like all 'i m not convservative i m realistic' men ,they had their point of view.. so basicallly in the present semi modern semi conservative male india of today-'what happened was wrong but women need to be careful,after they know how indian society is!!i want to agree with that,and i nod along..but tell me what are the lines???so women should not go to a pub unless accompanied by a male escort,or better still not go at all!!!oh wait also dont travel in a bus with a male colleague from another religion!!actually you will get grabbed either way in a bus,so dont use public transport!!!!oh yeah and what is the need to wear those short skirts!?!?!WHERE ARE THE F***ing LINES?????
i dont blame our parents,or the older generation,i have just come to accept we belong to different planets...but it doesn't fail to frustrate me,how all the sympathy for 'poor girl victim' is always mixed with atleast one odd commment about 'wat was the need to be doing so and so at so and so place at so and so time.
i cant lie,i love all the girl attention too...nd i m no 'bra burning' feminist...so i dont know which side i belong.i am a product of our society and culture ,then whats with the contradictions???!!!
