Mr. Tempted-to-Touch
The metro is
unusually crowded this evening and his inner demon salivates at the sight of so
many beauties. Ah... Those curves... His hands move of their own accord to
touch the enticing back of the young female bombshell standing right next to
him when his phone suddenly vibrates to life and starts chanting in a sing-song
female voice:
So you are tempted to
touch the woman next to you and must be cursing your damned phone right this
very moment. Yes she must be tantalising as hell and you might want to blame it
on her clothes but let’s pause for a while and think (go ahead, try to turn me off but I’m one determined lady). The girl you were about to touch (the
correct word would be molest but we will go easy on you for now) could have
been your daughter (or wife/or mother) and I wonder if you would still feel the
same way then. But I believe this makes no sense to you (otherwise you would
have refrained from touching her in the first place) so we will stick to more
logical reasoning for now (since your pea-sized brain is yet unable to decipher
what this is all about). You see Mr. Tempted-to-touch-that
pretty-lady-next-to-me, it is morally incorrect and disrespectful to touch a
woman without their permission. Or better still.....
The man has by now
turned red in the face and people are staring wide eyed at him. He hastily
makes a run for the exit at the next stop.
(So ladies, wouldn't it be nice if phones could sense intentions and actually
do the requisite by teaching men as to why it is necessary to respect women?)
The Tale of a Pervert
Raju has bought this
new phone that comes with a lot of stunning features and the female back at the
shop seemed pretty intent on selling it to him (Women... They just can’t resist
my charm). He had actually tapped her lightly on the back when she wasn't aware
and watched her scuttle hurriedly away from the room, her face red with
embarrassment. Of course he would get
his share of entertainment today at the bazaar, watching those ripe young women
scamper in a rush as he whistled at them and even felt them up if the
opportunity presented. As he lay lost in thoughts in his bed, his phone sprang
to life and started chanting in a sing-song female voice:
Thanks for buying
this phone for you must know the amazing features it comes with, one of which
is ‘School the men ’. Today in ‘School the men’ I would like you to note down
certain do’s and don’ts when it comes to women. If you are one of those
perverts that needs to fuel up his esteem by teasing women in parking-lots,
roadsides, shopping malls (in short anywhere you go and find yourself drooling
at the sight of so many women), the primary don’t on your list should be
(please note it down carefully if you especially fall in this category) to not indulge
in eve-teasing. You can go boost your esteem by indulging in activities that
make a difference instead of extracting pleasure by teasing women on roadsides.
The next don’t on your list....
Raju hurriedly dons
his shirt and wonders how to stop his phone from making such a racket early in
the morning. Unable to find any way out he is forced to listen cursing the
saleswoman back at the store.
(Smartphones that instil values in men whether they want to listen or
not? Smart way to teach those crooks back at the mall a lesson, right?)
We women face
innumerable incidents each day, starting from eve-teasing on the roadsides to
sexual harassment whilst travelling. A super power I wish my phone had? I wish
it had the power to make the world a safer place for women. I wish it could
stop this blatant injustice against women so that we could live more freely and
unshackle the social bonds that steal our joy and independence.
