Some context.
There was a brutal gangrape a month ago in the capital
Delhi Gang Rape Case
Six guys who were operating an illegal bus brutally attacked and raped the victim [including using a rusty tire iron to penetrate her]
A 16 year old who was part of the group ripped out her intestines with his bare hands.
She died a week later.
As you can imagine the response was immense. There have been constant protests since then across the country. This ad is part of a campaign to address the social and cultural reasons that such incidents occur frequently across the country.
Dude, I think we all have heard about the gangrapes by now. Nobody here condones that kind of behavior.
But we simply cannot stand being told that we must respect all women, just because they are women. Like durangotang said, respect is earned.
Can you imagine how badly feminists would lose their shit if, say, The Guardian ran an article saying that women must respect all men, just for being men, after that drug-addled lesbian couple tortured a 67 yr. old man to death?
