Social networking - a boon or a bane to women.

It is a boon, if we know where to draw the line, a bane when we do not know the limits.

 

Dear Madhu,

it give no right to any man to harass a woman, under any circumstances. work is not the only way wone are out late, but they themselves want to go to pubs and discos for late nights, which is always risky. i am not saying sit at home like a nun, but still take someone with u, and dont be out too late , say after midnight, when there are few people around.

Safety is one which we give the least importance - be it workplace or out.

The horrible conditions with respect to safety at work place, we are far behind compared to the rest of the world - developing and developed.

Man has no right to harm anybody for that matter but when it is understood that there are risky beings around, better to be careful.

 

Dear Madhu,

in no way should any male molest a woman, in india or in any part of the world.

All i say is, take care. See if u take out money from bank say a few lakhs, be secretive, have someone else with u, so also when a lady goes out late, better in a group so an would be attacker will think twice and so on.

We must take our precautions, and it is not right to say, that the police should be everywhere, it is police fault etc. We must also take our own precautions in such cases.

Today's papers carried the news item that the term'sexual harassment' has been redefined to include threatening and the term 'workplace' also includes not only office, but travel spots,railway journeys, malls, parks and even homes.
But instances of molestation and child raping are on the increase.Is it media over reach or the after effect of media exposure.
Whatever is, India is an expert in making flawless laws, but 'nil' efficient in flawless implementation.All criminal s are aware that these rules and regulations are paper tigers.
But it can't be denied that in some cases at least, women invite troubles.We can't look to the state for protection always.

Dear Madhu,

Everything in this world comes with positives and negatives and it is our outlook that differentiates bad from the good. Social Media has achieved from liberating the people of nation to educating people on importance of vaccinations. In my opinion, anything that could be effectively used for the common good of public at large is positive.

I know information available on social media could be accurate or far from accurate and I may have to use my own discretion to use what I consider relevant and useful. Our life is determined by what we choose everyday and the social media is no exception.
