The Show himself
So, this has been bothering me for some time. Now before I get into the small rant I have, here's what's been grinding my gears.
Let me translate this for you. The boy shooting this video points out that the CCD joint they visited had cockroaches in their food which they were trying to cover with menu cards. When the focus went to the female employee who herself was shooting something, she slapped the boy saying, "Why are you taking my picture?" Well of course in this day and age, these kinds of videos have to go viral, so did this video. As soon as the video came out, CCD decided to close shop there and shift to a different place, citing this being a temporary arrangement for tourists. The woman in question was also taken off duty, but not actually suspended as she complained that the customers who filmed the video were being abusive. After a couple of days, the woman pressed charges against this boy for sexual harassment and invasion of privacy. As of now, the case is under investigation.
According to the boy, he went to the cafe with his friend and ordered coffee. after ordering his drink he noticed that the refrigerator in that outlet, which contained all the food items, had cockroaches and other bugs in it. After bringing it to the notice of the employees, he cancelled his order and got his refund. He claims that instead of taking corrective steps, the employees continued to serve other customers from the same contaminated fridge. They allegedly placed menu cards over the part of the fridge to hide the cockroach infestation.
This led to him telling other customers about the infestation. This apparently made the CCD employees get angry, who then asked him to leave the store. As claimed by him, the employees even hurled abuses and one started to record a video from her mobile phone. This spurred him to start his own recording of it and when he records it, the above incident happened.
However, the woman has an entirely different account. According to one of the activists, she and CCD pressed charges to strong arm the boy so that the video doesn't go viral. In fact, CCD thus far hasn't taken any action against the employee and just took her off duty, and not suspension.
Now, you might be compelled to categorize this as an isolated case, but this is an increase in such cases in India where woman cries foul just to get out of a sticky situation and sticks the man into a baseless case. The rape laws here are overwhelmingly in favor of women and doesn't even acknowledge male rapes in its verbatim. And this brings me a to a much larger issue.
These kinds of cases have diluted the meaning of rape in general. When everything you do is deemed as inappropriate and offensive, and you can prosecuted for basically anything, and everything can be categorized as rape. Which brings me to another issue of modern day feminism.
Before I get into it, I want to make this clear that I'm all for gender equality. In fact, in a country like India, where female infanticide is still a major issue and the rural women are still struggling against societal norms, upliftment of these women is very much required. However, modern day feminism doesn't even focus on these subjects. They are more interested in redefining rape and whine about rape culture, and shut anyone with an opposing view. While real activists are still struggling draw everyone's attention to these very grave and real issues, modern day feminism is more into bending laws to suit a specific gender than making them equal across the board. One example is that in India, rape charges cannot be pressed against women. In fact, it doesn't even recognize if male rapes. And then there is censorship on anything and everything. These feminists want privileges and want to paint every woman as a victim instead of individuals who are capable of rational thought.
Western society isn't fairing any better where these modern day feminists shift goalposts as soon as someone doesn't agree with them or presents data against their set ideology. This victimhood, if anything, is detrimental to women who actually need help. These rich and extremely privileged feminists are more worried about trivial matters like video games and representation than actual issues. They love playing victims and want everything served on a platter. They want to automatically believe any rape accusation and 'innocent until proven guilty' is thrown out the window.
Is victimhood the new privilege in modern urban society where you can play victim and get whatever you want? Whatever happened to equality
