Monday, March 13, 2006 Indian women speaking out Per Salon's Broadsheet In the vein of New York's HollaBack NYC, women in India are now taking a stand, or at least blogging, against street harassment. The blog is called Blank Noise Project ("Blank- that which is not allowed meaning, form or articulation. Noise- that which heightens, builds itself. Eve Teasing as the name suggests,is considered a joke, a prank.Eve Teasing is street sexual harassment. The project seeks to recognize eve teasing as a sexual crime and establish the issue as something that may be normal, but is unacceptable") and recounts some interesting comments made by harassers on the streets of Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi. "You are not looking decent, I mean you are looking fat, you are not looking very nice, I think you should change." "It does not suit you, this dress does not suit you." "Gosh! Look at her, she’s so cheap, why does she bother wearing anything, she would rather be naked." "Dressed like a slut man! Total slut!" "Lipstick? I think it’s too much. People will think you’re a slut!" "Please wear a slip over the bra. Your school uniform is transparent. It does not look nice." "The skirt is too short. You can wear shorts if you like, but not a skirt." "Don’t talk back! Don’t you dare answer back!" "What law can stop a man from talking to a woman? Take me to the police station, let me see what anyone can do. I just asked you out for coffee." "I think you are beautiful. I have two eyes. I will stare at you." "But it was only a crush. I was staring at you because it was a crush." "I am allergic to women in pants. It is against our culture." Note: Stupidity is a global problem.
