… and ten steps back.

The Delhi Police deserves a pat on the back for a new booklet in which it places the onus of blame for rapes on women themselves. But a poster by filmmaker K.P. Sasi, titled Rules for Girls says it better than I ever could. Here it is:

–
Don’t go out alone at night
That encourages men

Don’t go out alone at any time
Any situation encourages some men

Don’t stay at home
Intruders and relatives can both rape

Don’t go without clothes
That encourages men

Don’t go with clothes
Any clothes encourage some men

Avoid childhood
Some rapists are turned on by little girls

Avoid old age
Some rapists prefer aged women

Don’t have a father, grandfather, uncle or brother
These are the relatives that often rape young women

Don’t have neighbours
They often rape

Don’t marry
Rape is legal within marriage

To be quite sure - DON’T EXIST!

And the kicker? Sorry, I just can’t stop laughing at this one: “When in rooms do as Roman does.”
