Nirbhay no more, because I am the rapist of my daughters.

Not because I ask my office cab drivers to describe the physical assets of the last female passenger they dropped home
Not because I am happy that there is an alcohol shop every half a kilometre in this country.
Not because I sit with friends and count the number of bottles I need to get drunk on, before bedding the ugly, uglier and the ugliest girl in office
Not because party-drugs, rape-drugs are available at my friendly neighbourhood chemist.
Not because I rate every girls' hotness quotient on the scale of 1 to 10.
Not because I think the girls who drink alcohol, wear western dresses bring it upon themselves.
Not because I want my women employees to work for me all night even, but then want to be dropped home first, or expect the family to come and fetch them.
Not because I settle property disputes by dishonouring the enemies' daughters.
Not because I want a fair, slim, tall girl for marriage.
Not because I say things like 'dented and painted women'.
Not because I pinch bottoms and brush against breasts everyday in the crowded buses and markets.
Not because I call boys Casanova and girls a slut.
Not because I don't register your FIR's or worse even entertain your complaints about harassment, molestations or stalking.

But because this 'I' exists in the society, in the neighbours house, in the extended family but it's not me or my father or my brother or my husband or my son.

Wake up. Change the 'I'. Change yourself. Change your father. Change your brother. Change your husband. Change your son.
