Instead of telling women to change, this campaign told men to look at themselves

I really found this ad campaign effective. We talk about this daily in this sub that instead of locking or pressurising a girl, we should educate the male of this society

Simple facts but people cant agree !

I also thought the same about 3-4 years back but then I made female friends for the very first time and got to know the world from their lenses and that is when I realised how hard is it for them to differentiate between who is bad and who is good .

It is simple that everyone is a convict until proven innocent . I agree to this point 100% now .

WE NEED TO TALK!!

dear people,

i'd like to address a few problems with the posts of this sub recently.

LANGUAGE

when you post anything in a regional language such as Hindi, please make sure to provide translations or else your post with most definitely get removed. it's different if you're posting art/literature. but in any other case, ALL RELEVANT CAPTIONS, DIALOGUES, TEXTS MUST BE TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH. you may use google translate for that. this was rule 11

"English should be the primary language for posts and discussions to ensure accessibility for all members. Posts or comments in other languages are allowed, but an English translation must be provided in the comments (Google Translate is acceptable)."

LOW EFFORT

also, please don't post a reel from instagram/ tweets from twitter without your opinion on it, it's considered as low effort or karma farming post. upon multiple violations, you might face a temporary ban from this community. this was rule 5 and 6

"Excessive promotion, spam, or advertising of any kind is not allowed."

"Posts designed only to inflame without adding value may be removed. Provide context, analysis, or discussion prompts."

Your purpose of posting here should be

- initiating a discussion/debate in reference to feminism

-sharing personal experiences

-news relevent to gender issues in india

etc.

posting someone else's content, without even giving credit to them and without your opinion on it, it does simply nothing, makes no change. are we a bunch of bots really?

DOXXING AND BRIGADING

Rule 9 - "Do not share personal information. Do not encourage members to target other subs or users."

any screenshots with visible usernames of reddit/ usernames in dms of instagram/ names of subreddits MUST BE CENSORED FULLY.

uncensored(not allowed)

also uncensored (not allowed)

censored (acceptable)

reddit takes this policy very seriously, you might get banned, this sub might get banned and i personally have gotten a warning before already.

Do not post links leading to other subreddits, it is acceptable if it's a source, but it shouldn't be the main focus of your post.

REPORTING ASSHOLES

If you see someone who does not belong here, instead of just downvoting, you can report it and we can ban him permanently from here.

APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE

Lastly, don't use slurs in comments (n word, r*t*rd etc included) even if in good faith, reddit automatically filters it and removes such comment, and using this words is not justified anyways.

do not come calling the moderators the r word or b word in the modmail, what are you even accomplishing by that?

CONCLUSION

please read the rules, i'll post them here too if finding it seems impossible

enjoy and please dont behave like idiots, it's annoying🥀

Why is this person not banned?

So a woman who has consensual sex is humiliating herself?

And it looks like the commenter just imagines every woman he meets with a load on their face, even his mother and non-existent daughter. And as per him, this somehow devalues the woman.

Also, some of these comments had upvotes

Every Male centered indian subreddit proves those slogans except blue drum 🛢️

I usually ignore such posts, but this post lmao. It baffles me like the audacity to have such mindset? So do these men think they are superior than their moms too? I mean they only react when their moms are mentioned, yet wouldn't mind abusing women who aren't related to them.

Most of the men with misogynistic mindset claim they are against rape, yet fuel up with the word "feminism".

Also if women are inferior to men, then having sex with us women will make you inferior too.

Am I overreacting, or is this advertisement sexist and objectifying?

Got this SMS today, and it feels disrespectful for some reason. Am I overreacting?

Bollywood related insta handles post ass videos of women & ask 'guess who?' - this needs to STOP

What’s weird to me is how normal this has become. These Bollywood Insta pages literally post videos focusing on women’s asses from behind and then go 'guess who?' as if it’s some fun guessing game.

And honestly, many of us here follow these shitty pages too. We see the same videos getting shared in Bollywood subs, which obviously gives them even more engagement.

We can call out Bollywood for objectifying women, but maybe we should also look at the content we’re consuming and sharing ourselves. :)

At Cornell, a sexual assault exposes institutional failures to protect women and hold powerful men accountable. Women aren’t safe anywhere.

Cornell Rape Cover Up: How An Ivy League University Buried A Sexual Assault Case The 2024 gang rape at Cornell University has now been reopened and the questions surrounding it are becoming harder to ignore. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor, saying new information has raised serious questions about how the case was handled. The woman, identified as Jane Doe in a civil lawsuit, alleges that she was assaulted at Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity house. The seven accused men deny wrongdoing and have said the sexual activity was consensual. But the controversy goes far beyond the allegations themselves. There are questions over the original criminal investigation, a disturbing fraternity group chat, Cornell’s disciplinary response and whether the university did enough to hold those accused accountable. The local district attorney initially declined to bring charges, but later said he planned to pursue charges against the seven men. Now, with a special prosecutor taking over, the spotlight is back on Cornell. How does an alleged gang rape unfold inside an Ivy League university and what happens when the institutions meant to deliver accountability become part of the story? This is the story of the Cornell 7, the allegations, the fraternity culture, the university’s response and the uncomfortable questions now confronting one of America’s most elite universities.

Is this world officially getting back to 1800s ?

Like srsly this is not even a like farming post , I have seen multiple versions of this in india itself . The audacity of these people is insane, and I think its the very first step of victim blaming . Normalising this shi is total madness . I mean teaching kids this , that too in school is just ! And the impact of this bs on those little girls will be more , their young brains are fed from childhood that they have to cover because men around them arent humans . I am angry and sad both , cant even do anything !

Why do people throw numbers regarding women without the critical skills to interpret?

So this comment was from a recent now removed post about bfs and pretend feminists in another sub. And this comment was an overstretch from what OP had posted and wanted to discuss. I am inviting opinions on the first point which is just a fancy way of being a "not all men" apologist in my opinion.

It is not totally incorrect, in that women are not perfect, morally superior humans who never commit crime. But once again we have the "women do all that too" argument for the nth time. For me "good number of contribution" just doesn't cut it to say both women and men contribute equally to gender violence. But I'm inviting discussion on that.

But it's the second point I want to comment on and put here what my reply would have been-

Just one question in response to the second point- Who constitute the perpetrators if 90% victims are men? If you didn't guess, it was a rhetorical question. Lemme give you the answer.

81% of homicide victims = male.

About 90% of people formally brought as homicide suspects? Surprise surprise. Male.

Women accounted for roughly 10% of homicide suspects. (UNODC Global Study on Homicide 2023, using 2021 data)

Also of all the women murdered, their perpetrators? Statistics would heavily lean towards, surprise, men.

Conclusion?

MEN ARE NOT GENERALLY SAFER AT NIGHT FROM OTHER MEN.

MEN ARE SAFER AT NIGHT FROM MOST WOMEN.

WOMEN ARE NOT SAFER AT NIGHT FROM MOST MEN.

WOMEN ARE SAFER AT NIGHT FROM MOST WOMEN.

The point would stand only if the perpetrators for male homicide victims were equally men and women, and perpetrators for female homicide victims were equally men and women as well.

This goes without saying. Any parent with a daughter knows this. Is it the women who are going on murdering these 81% men (or 90% according to the commentor)? And that doesn't take into account the statistics of the perpetrators of LGBT homicide victims. Which again, we know the answer.

Thus, we should not throw inflated statistics like 90% if we don't have the critical analysis skill and don't know how to apply that to a debate.

This! Maybe the real shift isn’t women ‘judging men’- it’s women finally having the freedom to choose rather than depend.
