there to protect women and not to terrorise innocent men if there is a national commission for women to address the rights and grievances of women mentoo believes its only logical and fair to have a national commission for men in place to do the sameeven though some women sneer at the need to protect men on the grounds that we were once a patriarchal society innocent men of today need not suffer because of what indian society ostensibly once was fact is be it to be the providers not show vulnerability and now deal with misuse of laws against them and their families the pressure on men is extreme who data states that suicide rate in india is 164 women per 100000 vs 258 for menprowomen movements like metoo were amazing till umpteen cases came to light about its misuse and even how pr agents were egging on young starlets to put a hashtag on someone to get a slice of limelight and this is where the problem lies such practices dilute a movement like metoo as well as other womens rights movements and work against laws created to protect women this dilution please note is not due to men but women themselves to brazenly put false accusations on men because there can be no apparent repercussions for women is highly dangerous to society and once again a violation of human rights in an era of consensual premarital sex tinder and livein relationships women cannot be put on untouchable pedestals as they oscillate from being emancipated one moment to suddenly being helpless the next rape is a heinous crime mentoo would like to demand clarity in law as to what defines a rape a woman claiming rape because a man refuses to marry her or because she wants to settle scores is hugely disrespectful to women who have actually been put through the trauma of real rape and abuse and their fight for justice while metoo emphasised naming and shaming mentoo focuses on protecting the identity of both victim and accused until proven guiltyits time for activists politicians and society as a whole to recognise mentoo as a movement that protects society men women and families without discrimination and that it is a movement for a free equal and respectful society that will bring law order and punishment to the guilty irrespective of gender
