If....If men began to demand equal rights just like women are doing now these days.....It would be a nightmare for women. lols Women have just entered the arena of men, of the real world and they are already preparing long list of demands which are not even related to basic human rights. A man living in a slum will never go to human rights commission asking them to recognise his basic rights for living in a posh apartment. That is exactly what women are doing now. I pity these women who are suffering from such pathetic paranoia. lols Neha vish, You seemed to be gas-filled with moronic attitude and clumsy arrogance. Anyways, women like you don't even deserve reality. So, stay in your fool's paradice. I was just wondering.

However the issue that I was more concerned with was the coverage of the media, and the media's reasoning of why the govt. shouldn't take decisions that would potentially harm the industry. Manu:

Please state the source of your statistics. They sound suspect as they seem to be coloured by your intentions to somehow link it to natural bravery (sic!)(puke!) 2. I don't know how frequent you are with studies of crime and accident statistics, but most crimes against women aren't reported. For more information on Street Harrasment you might want to see the excellent <a HREF="http://blanknoiseproject.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">. A month ago The Hindu <a HREF="http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mag/2002/09/01/stories/2002090100020400.htm" rel="nofollow">had an excellent article as well</A>. When you talk of crime - there are two levels. The one of individual experiences (Which may be male/ female), and the chances of being violated (which often depends on the averages and rates). 3. Can you please quote some credible psychological (not your average gas filled women-hating blog) study when you say women are more scared?? Do you have a study to back up this data? Where did you read about men being more brave than women? (Some misogynistic book/ blog?) 4. Are you suggesting that men as well shouldn't work in call centres at night?

It is surprising when the crime against women in only 1/3rd of crime against men how come women are more afraid. Is it natural bravery ?
