In reply to the discussion: INDIAN AD TURNS THE MALE GAZE BACK ON ITSELF AND IT'S AWESOME [View all]BainsBane
(55,498 posts)Yea, posting a PSA from India is shit stirring. Whoever alerted ought to ask themselves what it means when they can't handle something designed for audiences in a developing country like India. The problem isn't that Redqueen posted the PSA in GD or that I first posted it in HOF. It's that a few people CHOOSE to stomp and pout about a basic message that harassing women isn't cool.
For the peanut gallery, the point was meant ironically. The idea that an India PSA is far too progressive and advanced for some around here says a great deal. Of course that post got about 130 recs, so clearly the vast majority found it useful. A couple of outliers, however, are outraged at the suggestion that men be expected to treat women as human beings. Well dear alerter, that really is your problem. I'ts 2013. Time to act like it.
Oh, and Merry Christmas to you too.
Thanks, Taz.
