Demean, humiliate, degrade, Or to give her a lifetime of trauma and social detachment?
Its not about her provocative dress, courageous mistakes or forbidden choices, It’s about his fear, foul intent and twitchy insecurities. Its about time to rethink sexual abuse, Its time to accuse only the accused!

A 30 year old Associate Professor at a well-known University, according to an FIR filed by her, was forced to resign because the father of one of her students complained that he found his son looking at photographs of her, which according to him were “objectionable” and “bordering on nudity”.
There are two aspects to this case, which are equally disturbing, and which together make me question where we are heading as a society.
When the father of an 18 year old finds his son looking at photographs of a lady in a swimsuit, he can do many things. What this parent allegedly did was to dash off a letter to the University which states:
