women as objects of sex

It really irritates me to see the ads of bikes or cat food promoted by semi-naked women...What has cat food or bikes got to do with semi-naked or naked women?

My car was stuck in the traffic on the flyover near K.C.Das and I saw this ad on a board saying “playing Dirty”-an ad for deo or soap for men. The picture is not worth describing.
Ridiculous.


There are the so-called “item numbers” which are so “well justified” by people especially teens as just a form of dance..!
The title “item girl” makes majority of the girls so happy.. I wonder if they even understand what it implies.
Sick !


We don’t care about self-respect and do nothing to earn respect and then we expect everyone to respect us !
If you cannot respect “yourself” no one will.


I respect Parambrata Chatterjee,a Tollywood actor who featured in Kahani,he played a significant role.
He was a speaker in a panel discussion in an event organized by an NGO – ASRA. He said that he did not wish to be a part of those superhit films that boasted of “chikni chameli”, “fevicol se” , ‘munni badnaam hui”, “Sheila ki jawani”, “ooh la la”, ‘halkat jawani”, if it means to tarnish the image of a woman and disrespect them.

We talk about respecting women, Liberating women and our “great” movie makers make “Rowdy Rathore”,”The Dirty Picture”, “Ra one” and the list goes on.
Actor Aditi Rao Hydari in an interview to rediff.com said: “I wish our movies wouldn't objectify women. There's so much more to being a woman.” There have been some women centric movies like ‘Kahani’ or ‘No one Killed Jessica’ but those are just one or two.


Our TV serials are no less.Every serial,you name it has Adultery and Fornication whether its Bade Ache Lagte Hain,Tarak Mehta ka Ulta Chashma or even Balika Vadhu.

Even the cartoons are not spared.Kids around 5 years of age know who a “girlfriend” is,they know what a girl and a boy do when alone.
How sick can it get ?


Pornography-the internet market runs on it. Every second 372 Internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines. One out of five mobile users in India wants adult content on his 3G-enabled phone, according to an 2011 IMRB Survey.

Sunny Leone's CDs are bestsellers here in Kolkata. Teenage boys creep up and ask, "Sunny Leone ka CD chahiye?" (Want Sunny Leone's CDs?), at Chandni Chowk market in central Kolkata, the city's piracy hub. Step inside the dingy alleys between shops selling electronic goods, and piles of pirated blue film come out of hiding-Rs.120 for just a CD and Rs.250 for one with Leone on the cover. Ask too many questions and they show you the door. The police are their friends, although motorcycles stand ready for sudden crackdowns. "Sunny's CD is selling like hot cakes, 200 a day," says one.(India Today)


Everywhere,in every field,to promote an item “sexualisation” is the criteria for success of a product or a movie.


Surprisingly people watch it,buy it,encourage it,promote it.So,there’s more and there’s more of it and it doesn’t stop rather it increases tenfold.


You and I talk about respecting women on social media, in interviews, in panel discussions, in articles.

We talk about respecting women when a Rape Case is reported.

We talk and talk but we do nothing.


If it is a serious concern, an issue troubling you, do something. Start from where you are.

Perhaps your homes-stop watching those movies,those serials.
Dont let the kids in your house watch the cartoons that have such content.

You may ask how will my preventing help to stop it ?

Dear sister or brother in humanity,,remember CHANGE starts with “one”....Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),Mahatma Gandhi,Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Aung San Suu Kyi .

Change begins with you and then your family and then your society and then the nation.
Whenever there’s change in one part of the world,the rest of the world gets affected...
Why not affect the world Positively?
