[quote=CindyBindy]From what I have heard, the public buses also have gender-segregated seating. Some village panchayats (traditional village councils) have reacted to the rise in rape by suggesting that women should dress even more modestly/segregate themselves even more, etc.

It's such a shame because restricting women even further is obviously just another expression of misogyny. And it's not just village panchayats who are questioning the way women dress and conduct themselves. There are a shocking number of educated, middle-class men who, though they shout from the rooftops that they respect women and probably sincerely believe it, still think this way.

"But why was she dressed like that in the first place?"

"They should not be dancing in bars like that. This is where it all starts. Our girls are losing their morals."

"How can you blame the poor fellow when she smiles at him and flirts with him and then suddenly goes cold after giving him all these signals?"

We have an uphill climb ahead of us.[/quote]
