“I’ve been wearing men’s gazes
for so long now
that mere wolf whistles
no longer pierce my calm.”
Leaching glances at the workplace, lewd comments at the bus stop and ‘unintentional’ touching and rubbing at crowded places, most (if not all) girls have faced these in their lives. But what follows after this is even sadder, the victim is interrogated as if it was her fault. From what she was wearing to what time the incident happens, everything other than the sick mindset of the molester is taken into account.
Uploaded by Vitamin Stree, this powerful video titled ‘What Were You Wearing’ gives it back to people who associate clothing, drinking and every other non-relevant thing to every case of sexual assault. A hard-hitting poetry coupled with beautiful direction, this video has perfectly answered all questions of society’s moral police. A must watch for everyone.
