Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of victim-blaming and the rise in crimes against women, specifically responding to a question about whether a woman's clothing influences rape cases. He dismisses derogatory analogies that compare women to objects, such as a box of sweets, as the gibberish of madmen. He emphasizes that such statements reflect the character of the speaker rather than the victim and advises women to learn to ignore such idiocy. He shares his own experience with death threats and online trolling to illustrate that one must live with dignity and not be intimidated by those who seek to suppress the truth.
