A video of an Indian man making a ‘loutish’ remark about a foreign woman in Vatican City surfaced on the internet and sparked outrage. An Instagram page ‘Feminism Social’ posted a video of a man commenting on the woman. The remark seemed more like an eve-teasing act leading to widespread outrage among the netizens. Read on to learn more about the incident and netizen reactions.
A Man Outrageous Remark On A Woman
As per the video posted on the ‘Feminism Social’ Instagram page, the man is seen commenting about a foreign woman in Vatican City. The clip showcased him in a boat, pointing at the woman standing on a bridge and saying, “Bechari khadi khadi dekhti ja rahi hai, aa jaa, baith ja.” “Photo khichwa rahi hai”, he further added, followed by his laughter.
The Feminism Social posted this video with an overlay text that read, ‘Indian men please don’t carry your misogyny abroad.’ The caption of the video reads, “It is bad enough that you have made parts of India unsafe for women, when you take that same uncouth attitude abroad, you bring a bad name to all Indians. First of all, lose your misogyny, no matter where you are. Secondly, when abroad remember all of us are ambassadors of India. When you behave terribly like this, it fuels racism against other innocent Indians. Shame on you, whoever you are!”
Netizen's Reaction
The video quickly garnered attention with people starting to comment on the behaviour of the man. While on one hand people expressed their anger towards the man, some users also supported the man.
lil_sethg commented, “Who approves this guy’s visa”.
Kanishk Mohan said, “This guy literally ruined the image of India.”
Mish.t45 commented, “This is so shameful. Your identity matters even more when you are abroad because one bad incident by an individual will bring shame to the entire lot.”
Anoushka wrote, “There should be an ethics and manners test while giving a visa application. Period. Such people don’t deserve to roam out.”
Another aspect of the comments was from the people who supported Indian men.
A user named Pranav Kamble commented, “What makes you think Indian Men take Misogyny abroad? And what makes you think Indian Men are misogynists? If you answer majority of Men in India are. I don’t think you have met majority of them yet, because your world is confined within your phone and social media which shows negative sides, and yes that too because you are addicted to watching it. Get out of your phone (aka your world) and meet good people instead of being Keyboard warriors.”
