Men will be Men, women must compromise: Actress Ramya

Bengaluru: In the backdrop of the Mysuru Rape case, Sandalwood actress Ramya on Friday said that one must not turn a blind eye to crimes against women and must raise their voice against violence.

In a social media post, Ramya said, “As women, we are always blamed for every crime a man commits on a woman. Whether it is rape or whether he abuses you physically or verbally.”

She further said, “We often hear this- It’s your fault, you shouldn’t have said that, you shouldn’t have done that, you shouldn’t have worn that, too tight, too short, too showy, too long, you shouldn’t have gone out late, shouldn’t have gone out at all, you shouldn’t have worn make up, why red lipstick, why glitter? you shouldn’t have blinked (?!) you shouldn’t have this, you shouldn’t have that- why? cos men will be men, we must compromise, we must change, we must adjust, we must put up- NO. NO!”
