NEW DELHI: In a video going viral on social media, a middle aged woman allegedly addressed seven men at a restaurant in Gurugram to rape girls who according to her were wearing 'inappropriate clothes.' The girls, shaken but emboldened by their colleagues, took on the woman and recorded the encounter.Shivani Gupta, one of the girls who was at the receiving end of the woman’s obnoxious comments, put up a Facebook post detailing the incident.Shivani wrote, 'She addressed seven men at the restaurant to rape us because she felt we deserved it for wearing short clothes and bashing her unsolicited opinion.' The video, which spread like wildfire on social media, had 11k shares on Facebook and over 32K views on Instagram, but was later removed from Instagram because it flouted community guidelines.The woman, who was hounded by the girls for an apology, refused to budge. Unabashedly, the woman continues her rant, and even threatens to call the police on being doggedly followed around in Home Centre. On being noticed that the young girls are recording the incident, threatening to expose her behaviour, she says ‘’You're recording no? Hello guys. These ladies want to wear short to short dresses to encourage all to see them. All these ladies wear short dresses or get naked to [get] raped."Another woman in the shopping centre came to the aid of girls and chided the elderly woman for her moral policing antics and patriarchal attitude, but the woman refused to apologise, and continued to ask for the store manager to call the police. On being questioned whether infants and older women also get raped because of provocative clothing or because they ‘ask for it’, the woman responds "they [those who rape children or elderly woman] must be psychic."The woman allegedly conducted a poll on social media asking people if they support the act of women wearing short dresses.People on social media derided the woman for her regressive remarks, with many questioning the need for such statements that pander to the age old rhetoric of how women who wear short clothes ‘ask for it’, and the ironic situation of a woman calling out another woman for wearing ‘’revealing’’ clothes in the 21st century.See the full video here:
