Hyderabad’s State Road Transport Corporation is putting sliding doors between the general and women's section in its city buses. We’re literally resorting to a primitive purdah concept. And instead of addressing the real reason for this (read, some men can’t keep their hands off women), we’re separating them with a wall of plastic. The government loves this line of thinking, and uses it wherever possible. Here’re some examples from your everyday life.

3. Tell women how to dress.

Why it's ridiculous: As case after case has shown, rapists don’t have a sense of fashion. They need someone female, in any age or form. They’ll attack anyone, from sixty plus grannies to 4-year-old girls.

4. Tell them not to head out late night.

Why it's ridiculous: This shows that we have literally given up on making the streets safe for women. Does every woman need to be draped in a burqa at night to feel safe?
