This Hotel In Bengaluru Just Promoted Rape Culture By Putting Up This ‘Joke’ In Its Bathroom Stall


The ugly reality of rape culture is that you'll find it in the most unexpected places. You might think the problem lies in lack of education, patriarchal mindsets but you might chance upon it in the most swanky posh places which the politically and socially aware elite frequent. Facebook user Anoushka Kapoor was as shocked and repelled as you will be by this 'joke' that Lemon Tree, an upmarket luxury hotel in Bangalore had put up in one of their bathroom stalls. This joke is just sick on so many levels. Does a woman deserve to be mauled by a beast because in the past she dared to say no to sex with her husband, citing a headache? Are a person's sexual desires foremost priority over the other's health or comfort, consent be damned? Just because two people are in a marriage, does a woman have no business refusing her partner sex? Also, is her role in the marriage all about giving her partner sexual gratification? Marital rape in India is STILL not illegal. The hotel has really outdone itself, upholding marital abuse, rape, sexual objectification and ignorance about consent all in one 'joke'. We are currently trying to get in touch with Anoushka Kapoor. We will update this article if and when we get a quote from her.
