Too Many Viral Videos

 

With women security going out of the window
nowadays - internet is full of people talking about
different court cases. Many viral videos have
emerged too- stand up comedy, poetry, rap,
simple question and answer session.
What I fail to understand are these viral
video makers seriously interested in the issue
or are they just looking for their "15 minutes"
of fame. Because some of the videos (I repeat "some")
seem so forced and time consuming- after watching
I was like 'We already knew that.'
Believe me I being a woman am totally in for
"fighting our rights" and "demanding security"
but why "rap" about it?
Who is going to watch it?  [some of the videos are 30 mins long]
Instead it would be better if we took simple
steps while travelling - helping our
female co-passengers in buses or trains if
they feel vulnerable. Looking out if we see any
strange behavior of male or female with a child.

On a lighter note, I would
like to mention the site
marry.induja.com where the Bangalore
girl so assertively pointed out how
She is of so called "marriageable age"
and yet she will not follow any preconceived
notions of marriage.
She needs a Partner and not a "Master".
Go girl- That's more like it!
