M<\/span>en have strange reactions when confronted with a woman asserting her gender. When I was young, we always knew that the only way to put otherwise stern male professors in a spot was by referring to \u201cfemale problems\u201d and slipping out of class. This confrontation of gender flummoxes most men and their attitudes range from shock to horror to dismissal. Please, they seem to say, please don\u2019t put your girl things in my face.\n\n<\/p>It is the same reaction that the Malayalam magazine Grihalaxmi got when they put a <\/span>breastfeeding mother on their cover<\/span><\/a> last month. It is the same reaction that a professor at <\/span>Farook Training College<\/span><\/a> in Kerala had, when he allegedly made outlandish remarks about girl students\u2019 breasts being on display \u201clike watermelons\u201d. It is the outrageous display of female-ness that these men are denying. And now Sri Reddy hasn\u2019t merely gone and put her \u201cfemale-ness in the face of the Bahubalis\u201d of Tollywood \u2013 she has gone and put her entire female form. Naked. <\/span>\n\nTo give you some background, Sri Reddy has been posting screenshots on her social media accounts for over a month, revealing the <\/span>sexual exploitation<\/span><\/a> embedded in the industry. She went on to even name a number of people. These public rants only provoked the Movie Artistes Association into denying her membership.<\/span>\n\nIncensed by their behaviour, she stood in a public parking lot and went topless. \u00a0<\/span>\n\nThe reaction<\/span><\/a> to Sri Reddy stripping has naturally surpassed any known and unknown benchmarks of this phenomenon. You could argue over the rightness or wrongness of Reddy\u2019s methods, but save that for your dinner session. Think for a second about why exactly her chosen way has really pissed people off. <\/span>\n

Men have strange reactions when confronted with a woman asserting her gender.<\/blockquote>\nReddy is simply saying: \u201cYes, I have been stripped several times over by men who have promised me work. Yes, I have even complied with the \u2018deal\u2019. But the work never came my way. I have bared for nothing. And there are many like me, who go through the same grind, who either shut up or are not paid heed to. So please stop this menace and give us justice.\u201d<\/span>\n\nIt is an outrageous thing to bare your own compromising position in the industry by admitting to having used the casting couch. Bollywood declines to even admit that <\/span>the casting couch exists<\/span><\/a> but when #MeToo happened in Hollywood, a <\/span>lot of women<\/span><\/a> came forward to confess that they\u2019ve used the casting couch, given men blow jobs in hotel rooms, and submitted to sex. Their confessions in a more mature society only shine a light on the fact that these things happen, instead of victimising the woman who took part in it. <\/span>\n\nForget the unlettered masses, or the men who\u2019ve gone after her, even <\/span>female social activists<\/span><\/a> like Sunitha Krishnan have lashed out at Sri Reddy\u2019s act by saying that she doesn\u2019t\u00a0<\/span>deserve<\/span><\/i>\u00a0any sympathy and\u00a0\u201cJust because she\u2019s a woman, it doesn\u2019t mean she is holier than thou. Of course, casting couch exists in all film industries, but I have serious doubts about her allegations. What this lady is speaking is not as noble as it sounds.\u201d <\/span>\n\nDeserve. Sympathy. Holy. Noble<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>\n\nMany \u201cmoral\u201d words there. So, who exactly are these women who are <\/span>\u201cmore deserving\u201d<\/span><\/a> of our universal sympathy and probably the \u201cjustice\u201d that follows? I\u2019m guessing they come clad in six-yard saris, modest salwar suits, and fully masked <\/span>burqas<\/span><\/a>. Women who do not generally sleep around with things in pants, who don\u2019t do late nights, or hang around with the wrong kind, who don\u2019t \u201cinvite\u201d propositions by being in a perpetual state of undress. Those kind right? And most definitely not the ones that relent to the casting couch in the hope of garnering some kind of work in the movies!<\/span>\n\nIn the movie <\/span>PINK<\/span><\/i><\/a>, the protagonist goes out of her way and puts herself in judicial danger when she falsely states that she took money from her harassers. Even so, she argues, even if I am a woman who sells her body for an income, I am entitled to a redressal for abuse, just like all sex workers out there. It is, after all, my body. Only I have the right to decide who uses it, or in this case \u201cmisuses\u201d it. <\/span>\n\nThe idea of a woman using the casting couch and then protesting about not benefiting from it is a little like this. Just because I have used the casting couch, doesn\u2019t mean I cannot ask for a fair chance from the system. It is \u2013 after all \u2013 a system run entirely by big, powerful men who belong to an industry that churns out the country\u2019s biggest and most expensive movies. When all the\u00a0<\/span>men<\/span><\/i>\u00a0who are playing this game are BIG \u2013 big producers, big directors, big stars, big financers \u2013 it is obvious that power runs through the very veins of this industry like lifeblood. <\/span>\n
Sri Reddy is neither \u201cregular\u201d nor does she have any support.<\/blockquote>\nWhat then, are the least powerful to do? Put the only weapon they have at their disposal to make their statement and if you\u2019re an Indian woman, your female-ness is your most dangerous weapon and women can use it. \u00a0<\/span>\n\nThat\u2019s exactly what the women did in the aftermath of the <\/span>\u201cwatermelon\u201d incident<\/span><\/a>. A furore followed on social media, where women posted semi-nude pictures and also posed with sliced watermelons. Twenty-five-year-old Arathy SA was among those who posted her own bare-chested nude picture in protest. Her husband joined her in her protest and posted her picture too. Arathy said,\u00a0\u201cI am upset with the hypersexualisation of breasts by people. Whether it be professors in college or social media users seeing a model breastfeeding and pose for a magazine\u2026\u201d <\/span>\n\nHere, see it, is the sentiment. <\/span>Shove your face in it<\/span><\/a>, for all I care. <\/span>\n\nAnd that is the sentiment of Sri Reddy. Here, she\u2019s saying. Isn\u2019t this all you wanted to see anyway? Women like Arthy SA had her husband for support and there were many like her on social media platforms who were part of the protest in their own capacity. These were everyday people, who were enraged by an issue.<\/span>\n\nSri Reddy is neither \u201cregular\u201d nor does she have any support. Not from her own fraternity, not from her own people, and not even on social media platforms. In fact, the internet has surfaced in a ghoulish form, out to crush her. There\u2019s blaming, shaming, judging and jokes made on the Sri Reddy \u201cstriptease\u201d. <\/span>A Twitter commenter<\/span><\/a> stated:\u00a0\u201cFor the first time I have lost respect for women and feel disgust. For God\u2019s sake please leave this industry #SriReddy (sic).\u201d Another said,\u00a0\u201cThere are so many ways to protest and sort these things out but the manner in which Sri Reddy has protested is disgusting.\u201d<\/span>\n\nThe MAA, after refusing her membership, has also asked other actors and directors not to collaborate with her. Office-bearer Sivaji Raja has just gone on record saying, \u201cAction will be taken against any artiste who decides to share screen space with her! As per our by-laws, we have the right to tell our artistes not to work with her. We\u2019ve already filed a police complaint against her. The way she\u2019s behaving is embarrassing.\u201d<\/span>\n\nIf Sivaji Raja and the rest of the world were less embarrassed by women putting their gender out there, we would perhaps begin to focus on the real issue here. MAA would make a cursory effort to look into the issue. They might even have a redressal bench like CASH (Committee Against Sexual Harassment) in place. They might take umbrage at the predators Reddy has named and shamed. <\/span>\n\nBecause really, those are the people Raja \u2013 and the rest of us \u2013 should be embarrassed about. A little nudity we can tolerate; sexual harassment, we cannot. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
