'you are wearing is inappropriate'Bengaluru girl shamed by an auto diver for wearing a dress

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

This Bengaluru girl was slut-shamed by an auto diver for wearing a dress


A few days ago, an auto-driver inMumbai body-shamed a girl and asked her to get out of his auto because she was 'too fat'. On April 24, a Bengaluru-based journalist Aishwarya Subramanian claimed that an auto driver slut-shamed her and advised her to not wear the kind of short clothes she was wearing.

In a Facebook post that has gone viral, Subramanian narrated the entire incident and posted pictures of the auto-driver. She'd even tweeted about it. As soon as she got out of the auto, she wrote, "The Metre was 40 but I asked him to keep 50 as it was hot outside. And then he looks at me for a second and says - 'please don't mind me but what you are wearing is inappropriate'. I stand there shocked."

Subramanian, who claimed to be on the verge of crying, told him it wasn't his business. A few men gathered taking note of the hullabaloo and even agreed with the driver's view. "Apparently a girl who lives in a society like mine should be dressed more modestly and like a woman," they believe. But then, two men from a store Subramanian often visits stood in her support, and "told the auto driver and the moral police" that she could wear what she wanted and when she wanted.

"You want to know why we fight for our dignity? Because even the clothes we wear makes us sluts. What is the point in being a girl in this country anymore? I feel so embarrassed," wrote Subramanian.

Soon, she posted the auto diver's pictures on Facebook, after he gave his consent with the logic that he believed the public would agree with him.

Read full posthere:

This man's name is srikanth. About five minutes ago I got out of his auto. The Metre was 40 but I asked him to keep 50 as it was hot outside. And then he looks at me for a second and says - "please don't mind me but what you are wearing is inappropriate". I stand there shocked. And then I tell him clearly that as long as I am paying he has no right to tell me what I can or cannot wear. Then he gets out of the auto to tell me why I shouldn't be dressed like a slut (I am wearing a white summer dress that reaches my knee). A few men gather as I take pictures. One man who has gathered tells me that the auto driver is right. Apparently a girl who lives in a society like mine should be dressed more modestly and like a woman. I am about to start crying at this point. This is the first time I have been so publicly slut shamed. Thankfully two men who came from a junk food store I frequent and told the auto driver and the moral police that I get to wear what I want when I want. I walk away feeling shell shocked and ashamed. You want to know why we fight for our dignity? Because even the clothes we wear makes us sluts. What is the point in being a girl in this country anymore? I feel so embarrassed. My building's guard was standing right there as these men called me a slut for wearing the clothes I wore. This is who I am. These are the clothes I wear. Everyone else can **** off. Anyone can share this post. I am done feeling ashamed for being me.

Edit: Since there are those who think I posted this without this man's consent (thereby insinuating that I am the one who's publicly shaming someone). Here's the real deal: I actually asked his permission before taking his picture and posting it on social media! He said that he wanted "his message" out because the country will agree with him and not me. I gave him far more respect than he did me. Please please don't think these pictures exist here without consent. I have it! And given how skewered the Indian mentality sometimes can be, I actually think he has a point when he says that there will be people agreeing with what he had to say.

Such a cry baby. I mean what will she do if her grandmother tells her the same? Shame her Grandmom on Facebook?

If someone tells her, just ignore and move on. Not telling that the auto driver is right. But why do u even care? You put on whatever you like. Ur wish.

why only a girl?? there's no point of being sensible or talking about oppression or farmer sucides in this country.

best course of action for this girl - chant "bharat mata ki jai" and agree that indian culture is respected even by martians.

in india, kanhaiya kumar is wrong, any street dog is right.

KK is wrong. And he is nothing but another street dog who will piss in the open in front of any women flashing his private parts.

auto driver should have kept his mouth shut in the first place.instead of telling her to ignore her surroundings.teach those men who shares the auto drivers mentality to keep their stone age thoughts to them self instead of poking in someone else's life.

Or may be she should have shouted "Bharath Ki Barbadee" and the usual suspects who support Kanhayya & co would back her as well.

NEWS FLASH : people have opinions. the auto driver has an opinion. As long as he did not abuse the girl in anyway, he is entitled to his opinion. Or, did we suddenly become a country where freedom of speech is now curbed?

Or may be few people want to be able to abuse India and Bharath, which is ok as per these "intellectuals" but an opinion, god forbid is not on.

Carry on with the obvious double standards though...

Laugh at him. Most effective.

Not sure if it's safe, not having a good understanding of Indian street culture, but being mocked by a girl would be best for him.

There's plenty of that going on. It's not like the girls just take this kind of nonsense lying down. They give back as good as they get. Some folks don't like seeing women asserting themselves in public spaces and they are getting slapped back by the girls themselves.

no need to create this drama here. That taxi driver is right. Its because of these things in yr films n TV that yr country is turning into a rape capital of world. On one hand women watch them and think that they will look beautiful in these type of cloths after getting impressed by heroines wearing them etc. On the hand These type of things that is shown in yr films n tv instigates sexual frustration in masses and a country where female population is lower then men's because of female feticide its very dangerous since those poor men who cant afford marriage easily will turn to the women for rapes etc.

And now because of that u guys r transferring the same rubbish into our country too because they show yr films in our cinemas and as a result r disturbing or social, discipline and civil ethics of our society too.

So its better then making excuses to justify this imbecile, u should think about this problem with an open mind and correct it or yr own good.

No. Irrespective what a girl wears of does, it's never the woman's fault when bad things happen to her.
The blame can not be on victims...

BUT in this case, the taxi driver has a right to express his opinion as long as he does it in a nice manner - which in this case he seems to have.

Do I support what the taxi driver said? NO
But I support his right to say it.

getting physical is not the best thing to do here (unless it is self defense) as it might land them in a difficult position they might provoke the guy and get beaten up (worst case) or get served for assault(best case).

You'll be surprised.

There are regular stories in the media of girls doing precisely that....ganging up and giving a physical thrashing to perverts.

but he is hurting her psychologically as explained by her that she was about to cry due to him and then due to his argument masses gathered around her.

in india, kanhaiya kumar is wrong, any street dog is right.

Is there a difference between the two ?

Kanhaiya too like a street dog pokes & sniffs around in areas where he need not & yelps when his is smacked,

it has nothing to do with what she wore , its the Indian resentment towards Tamils and as such Tamils will be subjected to harassment in India . The recent incident in Bengaluru illustrates the dangers faced by Tamils.

In 1981 - Sri Lanka govt used Sinhala goons to burn Jaffna Public Library - which housed more than 98,000 rare books and irreplaceable palm leaf manuscripts. Such wanton burning of ancient and important libraries of Tamil literature is a deliberate attempt by these anti Tamil forces to destroy Tamil cultural heritage and history.

Burnt Jaffna Public Library

Jaffna Public Library - once one of the largest in Asia and a source of enormous pride for the Tamil community.

LOL , i like the way you are turning an inappropriate comment thread into Tamil hate thread.

So only what we have here is her word for it? I am sorry but I would refuse to take whatever cr@p feminazi spew.
