Is Pearle Maaney's 'THANKS TO ALL GOOD MEN' post trying to mitigate the seriousness of Banglore mass molestation?
In the backdrop of the Bengaluru mass molestation issue, a lot of men and women are coming up on social networking sites, with the response 'Thanks to all the good men'. One among them is actress Pearle Maaney who wrote on her page about why one should be grateful to have good men around.
Her post has triggered a lot of discussion among youth. They say it is similar to the hastag #Notallmen, which has been making rounds on social networking sites. The youth ask Pearle, "How is your post relevant to the mass molestation that happened in Bangalore? No woman has ever blamed the entire men while they were talking about sexual harassment. All women are aware that not all men want to grope them or hurt but at least one man has. Doesn't woman have the right to talk about it or worry about being insecure?"
They request Pearle not to deviate the conversation when women are trying to voice out about their insecurity. "We are not attacking men by talking about the molestation but the rape culture and patriarchy which aren't gender-specific."
