"A Conversation Between Two Wise Men About Women's Safety"

Chintan: “I can't believe what happened to Abhaya. It's just so horrific.”

Manan: “Yeah, it's terrible. I don't know how anyone could do something like that so much.”

Chintan: “I think it's a reflection of the way our society treats women. We still have a long way to go in terms of equality and respect."

Manan: “You're right. Sometimes it feels like we're taking two steps forward and one step back.”

Chintan: “But who exactly are we pointing towards?”

Manan: “Men?”

Chintan: “Come on! Not all Men.”

Manan: “Yeah, but always a man because all women have felt that way. They have stories to share.”

Chintan: “Agreed! It's frustrating. We need to do more to educate people about consent, boundaries, and the importance of treating everyone with respect.”

Manan: “I agree. We also need to address street harassment. It's a daily reality for many women, and it can be really scary.”

Chintan: “It's unacceptable. Women shouldn't have to live in fear. We need to create a safer environment for everyone.”

Manan: “You know, I've been thinking about how we sometimes forget to call out to each other when we do things that might be considered disrespectful or objectifying towards women.”

Chintan: “That's a really good point. It's easy to get caught up in the moment and not realize how our words or actions can affect others.”

Manan: “We need to be more mindful of our behavior and hold each other accountable. It's important to create a culture where everyone feels safe and respected.”

Chintan: "I am scared and ashamed."

Manan: "Me too. We can't lie to ourselves."

Chintan: “Yeah, because deep down we all men know.”

Manan: “That the bear is the right choice.”
