A random man on the train thought it was OK to reach under her shirt. He f**ked with the wrong lady.
They may love their country. But they know it's far from perfect.
These lovely women call themselves BomBaebs.
They live in place where women are too often treated like things — objects for men's satisfaction. And they're pretty over it.
The BomBaebs are TV personality Pankhuri Awasthi (left) and theatre artist Uppekha Jain.
They got tired of hearing things like...
"We have the best culture. In our culture, there is no place for a woman." — ML Sharma
They've grown bored with the double standards.
They could certainly do without random men groping them in public.
And honestly, that's not even the worst of it.
So they made this fiery three-minute video to get some things off their chests — including strange men's grubby hands.
<span class="redactor-invisible-space"></span>A spate of sexual assault cases in India has led it to be known as the "rape capital of the world."
According to the country's National Crime Report Bureau, there are 93 reported cases of rape every day.
Many Indians contest the title of "rape capital of the world" on the grounds that sexual assault is a global problem that doesn't only tarnish India's reputation. That's true enough. There are places where the problem is statistically worse — like the United States, for example.
But regardless of where it's happening, we cannot be silent in the face of rape and the systemic oppression of women. And if you're as over it as Awasthi and Jain, give this post a share.
(Gentlemen, that goes for you too.)
