You realize most rapes go unreported and for the ones that actually are reported , it ' s still hard to get a conviction because most times it simply amounts to he said she said so now in addition to being raped you ' re advocating that these women be forced to carry their rapist ' s baby ? Fuck off dude <| sep |> Signed into law by a Republican as I recall <| sep |> That ' d be cool if a guy wan anonymous mask was in the crowd . <| sep |> That wasn ' t edam funny . <| sep |> I have parallax which you can get slip and add for you interested in it ? <| sep |> The woman ' s a cheating murdering monster .

The day holds great significance , especially in India , where women face gender violence almost every day in various forms from child marriage , dowry killings human trafficking to rape and domestic violence largely due to deeprooted patriarchal mindsets and sexist attitudes that view them as secondrate citizens . According to National Crime Records Bureau NCRB , about 35 , 000 rape cases were reported across India in 2015 . In 95 . 5 % of these cases , the victims knew their alleged rapists . Another 4 , 500 cases were filed last year , reporting attempted rape . These numbers show the prevalence of just one of the many crimes that Indian women suffer in their daily lives . Indians have become so inured to heinous crimes like rape we easily digest rape stories with our breakfast that we have turned blind to the other notsophysicallyviolent crimes against women . But that does not make them any less of an offence . Whether or not acknowledged by law or the rest of the society , several everyday acts do cause permanent emotional , mental and psychological damage to women who suffer them . On this Day for Elimination of Violence against Women , we , therefore , write to men we encounter frequently , urging them to understand that there is a lot more to violence than rape and bruises , and that realising that women are just as good as them is the only way forward . Dear boyfriend , Trying to force yourself on me when I am not completely conscious is violence . Coaxing me to sleep with you in the name of our relationship that I hold so dear is violence too as is making me feel guilty about talking to any other guy and body shaming me . Dear husband , Forced sex is rape . Even if you do it to the woman you are married to . Not letting me work or making it difficult for me to pursue my career is violence . Our children are as much mine as they are yours . Expecting me to make all the sacrifices to bring them up is also violence . Not entering the kitchen ever or cleaning up dishes would not make you any less of a man . Wanting me to accept your family as my own but passing snide remarks on my relatives and throwing a tantrum every time we visit my parents counts as violence too . Dear friend , No means no . I am not a 13 yearold who needs convincing . I can think for myself . Accept that . Know that I value our friendship but do not want to take it any further . Dear exboyfriend , Breaking up does not give you the license to bitch about me or discuss my intimate details or share my photos with your friends . Every time you are tempted to do something of the sort , please do remember that I was once the most important person in your life . Dear colleague , There is a way to compliment someone . Calling women sexy , voluptuous or eyeing them , is not it . Everyone has their own idea of personal space . Respect it . We are all adults . We understand when a touch is accidental and when it ' s not . So don ' t pretend that you did nothing wrong when we both clearly know you did . Cussing others with slangs that belittle women does not make you manlier . It only shows you as a sexist , chauvinistic pig unworthy of the chair you sit on . Dear uncle , Just because I am not old enough to fully understand what you have in mind does not mean you can do as you please . What if someone was to do the same to your infant daughter ? Don ' t make me hate men for life . Dear stranger on the road , Whistling , following , catcalling does not make you cool . Casually brushing past is harassment . You are no one to control what women do . Just because you do not know me does not mean you can get away with anything . Public spaces belong as much to us as to anyone else . The ones wearing a short skirt or red lipstick are not asking for it . Get it , once and for all . Dear men , There are several of you who we hold very dear in life . Don ' t make us doubt them because of your misplaced notions of manliness and gender roles .
