Sexual Harassment by Bittu etc

kinnera wrote:Bw, ever seen bittu as a bigot, hating a whole group of ppl, finding excuses to throw mud at them, a hypocrite who poses as someone concerned abt the social issues, but is really only interested in using it as an excuse to spew hatred at a particular group? this is a very dangerous mentality. Worst thing is if that person has this false sense of self-aggrandizement too. yuck!

Have you ever seen bittu gossiping abt others and ever bothering abt others? He's very intolerant about gossiping. Never ever participates in it. How abt the ones here who come to chat in anonymous handles, lurk there for hours, gather whatever ppl are talking there, make their own assumptions and gossip here and elsewhere? what kind of moral behavior is that?
How abt the ones who one trusts and reveals personal info or pix and the person leaks them to others? Betrayal of trust! How bad can that be? We have seen major issues regarding that here, i guess. I nvr ever in my wildest can imagine bittu ever doing that. He won't scoop down to that level ever.

The 'holier than thou' are usually the ones with gutter mentality. The real decent, dignified ones never take a moral high stand and judge others. Look at the ones who are preaching here. LOL!

When jay leno cracks lewd jokes, no one takes him seriously. They just laugh off.

Someone talked abt the possibility of bittu being dangerous, etc. ROFL@that.
All the women over the yrs in sulekha from 1999 till now are not stupid teenage girls. They are mature, educated, intelligent, sensible, articulate and confident women. They got along ok with him. Need i say more?
i think ppl should mind their own business and stop worrying about abt others. If you don't like bittu, stay off his posts here or put him on ignore on chat.
Look at yourself first before throwing mud at others.

That said, i did criticize him, fight with him, stayed off of him, ignored him, insulted him etc. He's not perfect nor am I nor anyone else is. To each his/her own!

I have one question:

Are you jealous that Bittu only harasses other women and not coming onto you? It is normal for people with your "trait" - not that there is anything wrong with that.

** i find that bittu and i are friendly with each other and given to easy banter. from what i know of him online he's not a judgemental guy at all. and of course, like all women, i'm supremely jealous that bittu has no time to write ghazals for me or make pizza for me, but i'm young, i will wait, i know he's a busy jat.

Did you receive a Christmas gift from him?

** no, bittu don't like me.

I am surprised. You used to be his favorite. What did you do wrong?

bittu's chloroform post is an attitude that lies somewhere along a continuum between what they call eve teasing in india, to a metal rod in a vagina and a dead woman. what's upsetting is not the banter or the friendly ties, but a failure to recognize that post for what it is.

i have no interest in your or anyone else's relationship with bittu. it's not my place to tell you whose friendship to cultivate. i just find bittu's chloroform post and the blithe dismissal of it as humorous disturbing.

oh, so all those lunch dates and christmas gifts questions were not between bittu and pravalika? are you one rashmun, or two, maybe five alter egos, each of which has absolutely no idea what the other one is posting. Also, does your personality flips every 2 min or every 5 min?

There are two distinct streams in this thread. Assuming Bittu was being serious when he said it, and not just self-deprecating, your point about attitude is valid. It is the belief that women exist for the pleasure of men and their will is immaterial that leads to rapes. That said, it's too much of a stretch to extend that to metal rod in vagina. That is plain psychopathic sadism. Which is why this incident qualified as a rarest of the rare crimes, deserving of death penalty.

But it is the other discussion in this thread that is amusing. Why are folks upset at the women on the board who don't take offence? And for being friendly with Bittu? Surely, dictating to women what they should be offended by and who they should be friends with is also a reflection of the same attitude - that women are incapable of taking independent decisions and need to be educated on rights and wrongs.

Would you be comfortable with your daughter going out with a guy who claims his fantasy is to make love to her, essentially to rape her, after making her unconscious using chloroform?

Rashmun, are Vidya and other women here your daughters? Parents warning their children about the wolves out there is one matter. But one adult lecturing another adult about what she should take offence at and who should should be friends with is ridiculous.

It is my observation that women sounding handles on SuCH are doing the same thing they've done in India when they're groped in a city bus i.e. looking the other way. I'm sure Bittu handle had e-groped them a few times but they chose to ignore it and don't even want to acknowledge it or call it banter.

Bad analogy. Unlike in a bus in Delhi, the women here are not under any physical threat of harm or of stigma if they speak up. So here's another possibility. Maybe, just maybe, some of them like such banter with a non-threatening party they are familiar with.

fair enough except the phrase in bold. that phrase is a big leap of faith. having known that he is happily married with kids and leading a normal life or trying hard to (all material gleaned from the same source as his lewd e-conduct) it would require a dunce to read his posts literally and not understand that they are merely jokes. there is no morality in jokes. you either find them funny or you don't.

Unless I'm suffering from both short & long term memory loss, Bittu handle's repertoire is broader than that.

Or, short form of Korungaatti.

I think we should start claiming Mysore and BLR (will solve Cauvery problem as well).

Coming to the current dissertation...

Nothing wrong if anyone using any language to anyone. There is no e-eve teasing guidelines. So while Bittu's language may be considered offensive, unacceptable, blah blah in certain segments - depending on how they were brought up - as long as there is no physical threat there is nothing wrong. After all, no one knows for certain if the handles are male or female. That being the case, it is ridiculous to categorize members as "for good" or "for evil" or simply holy and unholy.

I remember the days when my mother said all those who smoked beedis were bad and those who used cuss words were bad.

It is just as silly as that.
