Not man but woman as well

The patriarchal mindset in India finds voice in insensitive remarks on women not only in men's voice but in women's voice as well.

A woman agricultural scientist in Madhya Pradesh even left many bigwigs behind in such remarks when in a public function she remarked that in the Delhi case the woman should have just surrendered when six men confronted her to rape. Then her physical condition would not have been in such bad condition as in now.

Another insensitive comment was by none other than President's son Abhijit Mukherjee, an MP from West Bengal, who said the protesting women as dented-painted.

A long way to go for behavioral and societal change.
