I blame western style “male/alpha influencers”. I bet you any amount of anything and peer into their socials you will see quotes from bizarre characters such Tate, and so on. Having a backbone in this scenario would be to know when one was in the wrong and admit rather than hiding behind walls of evidence that proves otherwise.
Mysogyny in India long predates influencers.
Or the telegraph.
Or electricity.
The Indian patriarchal system of unopposed abuse of females is what western alpha influencers aspire to…
It's Honestly more complicated than that, and it's same regardless any culture. Almost every culture has rules for both men and women. I won't deny men have it more Laxed, but if you actually know about Indian culture, men have it really strict too. Plenty of restrictions on what married men can and can't do.
Now I don't wanna go into rant of how men have gotten corrupted, but the power lied in the hands of men, which means they set the rules.
And I'm not trying to say Indian system isn't deeply patriarchal. Not so fun fact, a generation or two ago, it was common for the husband's family to burn his wife alive if the dowry wasn't paid. Dowry is a huge sum of money that the women's family pays to her bridegrooms family.
I only mean as in addition - no where did I say disregard the existing cultural context
