Is Watching Pron a Passtime?

Frequent reports of our democratically elected politicians watching pron in the assembly is making us think-  Think Big!

Watching pron was not taken seriously and considered as a time pass for many, mostly a regular men's pass time.   of course, women are not spared as well!

Thankfully so far we have not heard on reported incidents of such things in corporate offices, colleges and schools, institutions, though I am sure many keep watching various videos on YouTube and other movies stuff in office cubicles and college corridors. 

The same become criminally offensive than just a pass time when it involves coercion and force...involve minors  and children and involuntary participation.   90% of the junk available on the net is either secretly videoed,. forced, blackmailed, or made for money.   I don't think the globe's  oldest profession had come into existence without force and dire need of survival

What was once confined as  intrinsic (private) dances/ devadasis of old days in the court halls of kings and emperors....now get displayed as item girls , number songs. and hard core sexual display and violent pron without the consent of those involved.  

Good things don't go viral so fast...but these things take so much space on our web.   And .xxx websites are not the once restricted with this stuff.

With every device from the computers, Internet, mobile phones, ipods, ipads, movies, advertisements, television, video games, magazines, books.......everything has an element of Pron, exploitation and rapes...news papers full of news around how children are being raped and killed,  women are abducted and exploited...how films miss use aspiring youngsters,...how young men get molested in hostels and colleges.... the news is only bad!  

 

How are we going to change this mind set.....how are we going to stop this senseless.....sensuous craving of human race as the civilizations progress?  

What is supposed to be confined as a sacred bondage between a man and woman for the continuity of mankind in the name of love,......in the form of lust totally taken a different dimension making SEX a bad word.....and sexual harassment cases a common news.  



Victims don't come forward to complain and fight for justice keeping the sensitivity of the issue.....but how long and how far?  

It reminds me of Sunitha Krishnan and her fight for justice ......but what we need is a sunitha krishnan in each one of us....to rightfully react to injustice...punish the guilty...support the victims,  understand and provide harassed victims with required emotional support and society to provide opportunities to those to revive and rebuild their lives.

Fighting for stopping any form of abuse is every one's right!

Happy Women's Day! A dedicated poem to all the women of this world

As a woman I died several times in this life

But just being a woman, I had to courage to raise again

As a woman, I fell to the gutters of chauvinism

Yet, just being a woman, I took that in stride of my feminism



As a woman, I cried several unending nights

Yet, I showed up a brave face and ready to fight

As a woman, I hurried to several trains to catch

Yet, I never left behind any unfinished match



As a woman, I loved being loved all the time

Yet, I had the courage to withstand ditching too

As a woman, I always liked to be dressed the best

But just being a woman, I did dress up to the situations true



As a woman, I shared my meal and peace all the time

Yet, I also learnt to let go my meal for a cause in tide

As a woman, I got shunned by the people of the society

Yet, I stood back and said, I am proud to be what I am as a woman



As a woman, I know I glorified everything that I liked

Yet, I had the right to reject what is not right in its form

As a woman, I lent my shoulders for friends to lean on

But just being a woman, I warned them not to be vulnerable on



As a woman, I know the struggles are many and always on

Yet being a woman, I know God made us that way to deal on

As a woman, I like the way You look at me and say so

But just being a woman, remember I am not a show case piece



As a woman, I love rest of my women folks who are wonderful

In not just the way they are, but for being great friends too

For being enduring Mothers, efficient professionals, loving daughters

And for being great wives and being Divas in their own Right!
