Harsher sentences for men who commit the same crimes.

Like, the segregated public transport is a reaction law to the rape cases being publicised believe it or not

True

No, legally women have less consequences too

I'm talking about traditionally

Are people really doing those bad things on *public transit*?!

Yes, unfortunately I'm kind of a witness

Idk whether it was on purpose, but once a man rubbed his crotch on my shoulder as I was sitting

From that time, I decided to go into less crowdy buses even if it meant waiting

Plus people stare

Like all genders

Doesn't that make you a victim rather than a witness?

I mean, idk what to say, since I could be overreacting

But still, it made me uncomfortable

Also, if girls dress western and don't cover up, people stare hard, even in big cities

Forget wearing western outside big cities

My best friend lives in a smaller city

And she had actual guys stopping their motorbikes, telling her to get on their bikes, for obvious reasons

All because she couldn't find an auto after 7 pm

I personally made myself more independent, taught myself to suck it up and walk if needed

But yes, I feel scared in general thanks to me being a girl

It doesn't help that dumbass colleges enforce dress codes on girls, except for the very secular universities

Like, thought that educational institutions should encourage being progressive

But no, they enforce all backward customs in the name of "holding up our culture"

Nah, that's just crass chauvinism

Fuck them

Again, I'm not that political

But these issues are real time for me, so I have to care as the clash with my ideals

Yeah, I don't know what to say. That's a pretty bad situation.

Sorry, it's all bleh to me, to my society

We're too used to it

I thought maybe if the boomers died out it would help

But I see people around me, my peers being indifferent to this

Sometimes even encouraging

Their children will carry on the boomerdom in their name.

And it just makes me lose hope

Yes, you bet mainstream Indians are major boomers in mindset

They just tell people like me to get out of this place if I don't agree

@sleepysclmsft progressive is very subjective, in the west it means woke 😂

Like all other Indian diaspora

So that's what I will do
