“The thing women have yet to learn is
nobody gives you power. You just take it.” - Roseanne Barr
The recent gang raping of a woman in
the midnight in a moving bus in Delhi has drawn attention across India. It indicates
that there is no safety for the women in the independent India. It shows the way
men treat and objectify women in their real lives. Some people blame cinema and
media responsible for such atrocities on women. Cinema provides entertainment
and media spreads information. Hence, it
is something beyond cinema and media.
It is deplorable that Swamis and male chauvinists
blame women for moving in the midnight and maintaining indecent attire. There
are other reasons responsible for such incidents. According to noted
psychologist, Sigmund Freud, the human mind is trifurcated into three
compartments - Id, Ego and Super Ego. Id is instinctive and irrational; Ego is
rational and logical; and Super Ego is ethical and moral. Every man encounters these
three stages every time. He will be
rational and logical when he is able to crush his irrational and instinctive –
Id, and allows it to be overtaken by Ego. If he allows further, he will
appreciate from ethical angle and stand out from others as a role-model. When
we look at rapes on women, it is the Id which is responsible for such instant
and instinctive inhuman act. Although
desire to have sex is a natural one for every human being the human mind must
think logically that it is essential to have consent of opposite sex. But
sometimes men are instigated in the wrong company of friends and resort to such
cruel acts. At the same time, women must understand basic body language to
convey right signals to others in public place. Some women don’t realize that they send
tempting signals unconsciously from their body language. Mistaking such
signals, men resort to such inhuman acts.
Parental upbringing matters a lot to
check atrocities on women and prevent rapes. Parents must teach their children
how to behave with fairer sex. Men must empathize that they were born to women. They should not get intoxicated by irrational
sexual desires.
Women must take precautions to defend
from such rogues by mastering the basics of martial arts and using them at an
appropriate time to defend themselves. They can also send message through their
cell phones to police to get timely assistance when they sense that some
untoward incident is going to take place. They must also learn the basics of body
language that tempt men to resort to rape.
The existing Indian laws are not enough, and therefore, it is time to
plug the loopholes in the law to avert such incidents.
Swami Vivekananda rightly said, “All
nations have attained greatness by paying proper respect to women.” Hence, let
us respect women to attain greatness. Let us not forget that we were born to
women.
“Life on the planet is born of woman.”
